RITE to hold the 11th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas
Control Technologies (GHGT-11) in Kyoto
Outline:
The Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) will host the11th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference as the local organizer incooperation with the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEAGHG) at the Kyoto
International Conference Center, Japan from 18th November to 22nd November 2012.
The GHGT-11 conference focuses its attention on greenhouse gas mitigation
technologies, especially CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS), and IEAGHG acts as theguardian for the conference. IEAGHG was established as an Implementing Agreement underthe International Energy Agency (IEA) and RITE participates in this Programme as amember of its Executive Committee, representing Japan.
In the conference, 300 oral presentations, 6 discussion panels and 600 posters arescheduled and 1,200 to 1,300 experts are expected to participate from 52 countries.
The event will be the largest of its kind among international conferences where leading
researchers and experts in the area of CCS attend from the world.

The GHGT conference focuses its attention on greenhouse gas mitigation technologies
especially on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) and IEAGHG acts as the guardian for theconference. IEAGHG was established as an Implementing Agreement under theInternational Energy Agency (IEA) and RITE participates in this Programme as a memberof the Executive Committee, representing Japan.
Since its inception in Amsterdam in 1992, the GHGT conference series rotates between
North America, Europe and Asia and this will be the first visit to Japan in a decadeby the conference after the GHGT-6 was held in Kyoto in 2002.
This upcoming 11th conference will be a great opportunity to discuss mainly CCS
technologies under a theme of “CCS, Ready to Move Forward” and will be also a very
meaningful event for Japan as a large-scale CCS demonstration project has just been
started in Tomakomai, Hokkaido.

In “The 2012 edition of Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP2012)”, IEA presents
their view on CCS as “Carbon capture and storage remains critical in the long term”
to achieve the 2 Degrees Scenario (2DS) target.
The conference draws the highest attention from leading experts around the world
and is designed for them to discuss not only technical works, but also a wide range
of issues including regulations, government supports and commercial deployment ofCCS.
The conference programme comprises plenary sessions with global keynote speakers
and parallel technical sessions, in which both oral and poster presentations aredelivered.
The keynote talks will be given by nine speakers including Mr. Atsutoshi Nishida,
Chairman of the Board, TOSHIBA, Mr. Brad Page, CEO, Global CCS Institute, and Dr.
Jay Braitsch, Senior Advisor, Office of Fossil Energy USDOE .
During the technical sessions, 300 oral presentations, 6 discussion panels and 600
posters are to be presented.
The Final Panel Session on the last day will be an opportunity to discuss the futureof countermeasures against global warming, including CCS with a theme of “As aCountermeasure to Global Warming – Best Mix on Energy Portfolio and Enhancing
International Cooperation”.
In this five-day conference, 1,200 to 1,300 are expected to participate from 52
countries. The event will be the largest of its kind among international conferenceswhere leading researchers and experts in the area of CCS attend from the world.
