In this episode, the host, Elena Melchert, talks Chuck McConnell, Executive Director of the Center for Carbon Management at the University of Houston. Chuck McConnell was formally Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy. Mr. McConnell shares work by a consortium on the commercialization of CCUS at the University of Houston from research to infrastructure to implementation. He shares that “net zero” carbon without CCUS is an impossible goal by 2050 and that 15-20% of emission reduction must come from CCUS and that using offshore reservoirs for CCUS will be necessary in the future.
