Carbon Capture & Storage Summit



June 9-11, 2025 ~ Omaha, NE
Co-located with the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo

Capturing and storing carbon dioxide in underground wells has the potential to become the most consequential technological deployment in the history of the broader biofuels industry. Deploying effective carbon capture and storage at biofuels plants will cement ethanol and biodiesel as the lowest carbon liquid fuels commercially available in the marketplace. The Carbon Capture & Storage Summit will offer attendees a comprehensive look at the economics of carbon capture and storage, the infrastructure required to make it possible and the financial and marketplace impacts to participating producers.




REGISTRATION

Access to all events at one price - including admission to all conference sessions (co-located events, plenary sessions and breakout sessions), entry to the Expo, all meal functions, and speaker presentations (available on conference app during the event). Producers Attend for Free.

  

If you have any questions on registration or rates please give us a call at 866-746-8385.




SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES

Presentation abstracts will be accepted for the Carbon Capture & Storage Summit through February 7, 2025.

Each abstract will be reviewed by a steering committee of qualified industry professionals by February 19. Abstract acceptance and rejection e-mails will be delivered by March 1 and the preliminary agenda (all technical breakout sessions) will be posted online the week of March 11.

Specifications for Presentation Ideas

Specificity: This is crucial for technology or process related abstracts. Make sure your presentation idea promises to convey, in specific terms, how a technology, system or process will improve production, reduce costs, and/or increase value. The abstract should promise to compare a new approach to an old way of doing things, or highlight process/production improvements or technological breakthroughs.

Relevance: The presentation idea should indicate that the presentation will highlight something that will make significant near-term impacts in its given area to a majority of the affected facilities/crops/processes/projects in the region.

Detail: While abstracts do not include schematics, photos, graphics, spreadsheets or pro formas, the abstract should indicate that the speaker will illustrate the effect of the technology/process/business approach by incorporating such visual tools into the presentation.

Understandability: If there are very complex processes or scientific/economic ideas being presented, the abstract should indicate that measures will be taken to make the information understandable (within reason) to a diverse spectrum of conference attendees?

Word Count: While there is technically no limitations on the length of your abstract, we ask that it be 200 to 400 words in length.
