An Emerging Field for Energy Professionals
Given the world’s reliance on fossil fuels for the next several decades, CCUS offers a path to sustainable development within the petroleum industry and a means to meet increasingly stringent emission regulations. Today’s energy industry has an urgent need for highly skilled professionals to guide the pathway for safe and economical management of carbon development, challenges, and opportunities.
For the past 5 years, SPE, AAPG and SEG have gathered leading technical experts to demonstrate the ongoing need for petroleum geoscientists and engineers in the CCUS arena. Their multidisciplinary conference, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), expanded to Latin America in 2024, with a highly successful inaugural event held in Rio de Janeiro in May 2024.
Originally planned for 150-200 attendees, CCUS Latin America 2024 was enormously successful, attracting 491 attendees representing 172 organizations and hailing from 19 countries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Building on the momentum generated on Rio, CCUS Latin America 2025 delivers a multidisciplinary program featuring technical presentations, panels, keynote talks and commercial exhibits highlighting technical, business, social and regulatory aspects of CCUS.
Organized by SPE, AAPG and SEG, the 2025 edition includes continued support from the Society For Low Carbon Technologies, who provided highly valued contributions as an endorsing organization for the event in Rio.
The 2025 edition features a new local host, the Colombian Association of Energy Geologists and Geophysicists (ACGGP), who will organize pre-and post-conference activities and who brings both technical expertise and valued experience working with local communities to socialize energy projects.
