Speaker: Eric Tenthorey


Topic: CO2 Storage in Australia: Mitigating Emissions and Securing Future Energy Resources

This talk will discuss the current state of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Australia, and the role it plays for mitigating CO2 emissions. Work that has been done at Geoscience Australia over the past decade will be discussed. CCS work will also be a part of the Exploring for the Future Program in the future, so this will also be highlighted in the talk.

About the Speaker:
Eric Tenthorey is a senior researcher at Geoscience Australia, with expertise in geomechanics, carbon capture and other low carbon geoscience disciplines. He received a PhD from Columbia University and subsequently worked as a researcher at the Australian National University. In 2007, he was engaged by Geoscience Australia to work as a geomechanics expert with the CO2CRC; a cooperative research centre focused on developing and proving up CCS technology. More recently, his work has centred on other low carbon sectors, such as the hydrogen energy future, geothermal energy and CO2-enhanced oil recovery. In addition to developing technical reports such as these, he has over 30 publications in major international journals.
