Energy, environment, industry experts make case for carbon capture and storage<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK, (Oct. 1, 2018)<\/strong> \u2014 A critically important global solution that addresses climate change, energy demand and workforce\/economic opportunity is the focus of \u201cCCS: Bridge to a Cleaner Energy Future,\u201d a newly released mini documentary commissioned by the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and produced by Wide Awake Films. The video, viewable at www.CleanerFutureCCS.org<\/a>, is a collaboration of 11 energy, environmental and industry experts exploring how carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies can solve the three oft-at-odds issues of energy, environment and economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cCCS is the solution no one is talking about; but everyone should be<\/em> talking about,\u201d says Julio Friedmann<\/strong>, Columbia University Senior Research Scholar and CEO of Carbon Wrangler. \u201cThat is the goal of this video: to make it easier to understand how CCS works and why it is the <\/em>vital component to mitigating climate change and reaching the Paris climate targets. Moreover, the video explains how CCS allows reliable energy production through a realistic mix of renewables and clean fossil fuels; and that it\u2019s the solution that keeps the energy and industrial workforce at work and local and global economies healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedmann is among a cadre of CCS, energy and industry thought leaders interviewed in the video.<\/p>\n

Brad Page<\/strong>, CEO of the Global CCS Institute, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, explains in the video why carbon capture and storage must be part of the overall climate change solution: \u201cAt the end of the day, if what you care about is our planet and our home, then really you want to embrace everything that can get this problem solved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also featured in the 15-minute video (a 5-minute version is also available) are: Mike Monea, President and CEO of the International CCS Knowledge Centre; Ian MacGregor, Chairman and CEO of North West Refining, Inc.; Sandra Odendahl<\/strong>, CEO, CMC Research Institutes; Beth Hardy<\/strong>, Vice President for Strategy and Stakeholder Relations, International CCS Knowledge Centre; Tim Wiwchar<\/strong>, Athabasca Oil Sands Project (Shell Quest); Cory Channon<\/strong>, International Rep, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers; Erik Nickel<\/strong>, Director of Operations, Petroleum Technology Research Centre;\u00a0 Richard MacIntosh<\/strong>, International Rep, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers; and Alison Cartier<\/strong>, Marketing and Communications Manager, Inventys Inc.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world must move forward with CCS not only in the energy sector but across all heavy industry,\u201d says Friedmann. \u201cCCS is a solution and a bridge to the future of clean energy that renewable energy and conservation cannot by themselves achieve. And its development and application will fuel economic growth and create many thousands of well-paying jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that more people understand CCS, spread the word that it is the right solution and implore business and government leaders globally to adopt CCS as the right way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
