Call For Abstracts15th International Conference on

Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies

ABU DHABI - UAE, 5-8 OCTOBER 2020Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, UAE

www.ghgt.infoHosted by


The GHGT conference series has long been established as the principal international platform for presenting and discussing developments in greenhouse gas mitigation technologies. This is especially true with respect to the technologies surrounding CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS).

When the series started nearly 30 years ago, CCS was very much a novel concept. Now with the technology being tested at commercial scale and industry looking to CCS to help reach their emission reduction targets, CCS is poised to take its place amongst the suite of climate change mitigation options that we need to deploy if we are to successfully limit CO2 emissions, and prevent catastrophic climate change.

We, therefore, invite you to share your research, results and enthusiasm at GHGT-15, bringing together the CCS, energy and industrial communities and proving to decision makers that CCS is a viable and necessary option.

Overview and ObjectivesWe aim to present and discuss new insights, experiences, developments and research in GHG emission reduction, from theory to experiment, from research to demonstration, from investment to deployment. The 15th event in the GHGT series will take place in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), Abu Dhabi, UAE and as with previous conferences, the programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations, together with panel discussions, keynote talks and plenary lectures. Time will also be allocated for networking and informal discussions.

As ever, the objective of the GHGT conference is to bring together all stakeholders involved in CCS, the power sector, transport and industry, from potential to risk, from cost to acceptance, and from policies to opportunities.

Technical Themes

GHGT-15: Abu Dhabi, UAE


SSRN will publish the GHGT-15 proceedings providing the work be presented by the author or a co-author at the conference. SSRN is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of research and is composed of a number of specialised research networks. The proceedings will be fully citable and distributed via their E-Journal.

It is important to note that any changes to the final paper submitted that differ from the original submitted abstract, such as paper title or co-authors, must be notified to the Secretariat before the full paper deadline. This ensures the correct information is printed in the GHGT-15 conference Programme and App.

You are invited to submit abstracts for consideration, for both oral and poster presentations, related to the technical themes of the conference. It is important that sufficient information is included in your abstract to allow it to be assessed fairly. The abstract must represent the actual paper that will be presented at the conference. In the selection of papers for the conference, emphasis will be placed on the presentation of results and new developments. Replacement of papers will not be accepted. A condition of submission and acceptance is that at least one author will register and attend the conference. Presenters will be required to pay the full registration fee.

Abstracts should be between 500 and 1000 words, on the conference template, in English, and contain the paper title, author(s) name(s) and organisation(s). Abstracts submitted below or above this word limit will not be accepted for review.

Abstracts should be submitted via the conference web site www.ghgt.info. and following the links to the abstract submission). The abstract submission will open in September 2019. Abstracts must be received by the conference organisers no later than the first week of January 2020 (exact date to be notified on the website). No further abstracts will be accepted after the announced date.

Abstract Format

Deadline

Please note that if your abstract is selected for oral or poster presentation, a full paper is still required.


The Technical Programme Committee will assess and select the abstracts, based on the technical input from the Expert Panel, and allocate selected abstracts for oral or poster presentations. Authors may indicate their preference upon submission of their abstract, but are not guaranteed their first choice.

The Technical Programme Committee comprises:• Tim Dixon (Co-Chair) - IEAGHG, UK• Mohammad Abu Zahra - (Co-Chair) Khalifa University, UAE • Carlos Abanades - CSIC, Spain• Lincoln Paterson - CSIRO, Australia• Matthias Raab - CO2CRC, Australia • Gary Rochelle - the University of Texas at Austin, USA• Andrea Ramirez - Delft University, Netherlands• Sue Hovorka - the University of Texas at Austin, USA• Sean McCoy - University of Calgary, Canada• James Craig - IEAGHG, UK• Lourdes Vega - Khalifa University, UAE• Suzanne Killick - IEAGHG Secretariat, UK

All selected Abstracts will be viewable on the agenda section of the conference website by early June 2020. The final version of the full paper is not published on the conference website. Providing the work has been presented at GHGT-15, the full papers can then be published with SSRN.

Selected presentations (Oral and Poster) will be invited to submit papers to a Special Issue (SI) of the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. Authors will be notified after the conference and provided with a link and deadline to submit directly to Elsevier. If their work is accepted for the SI, and subsequently published, they will then be asked to replace their published full paper in SSRN with a shortened version (extended abstract) to ensure the conference proceedings remain complete

The Expert Panel will be comprised of a number of technical experts covering the range of themes, and their expertise will be called upon to support the evaluation of the submitted abstracts. Each paper will be independently reviewed by two Expert Panel Members, who will score the work and make their recommendations for the work to be presented as either an oral or a poster presentation.

The Expert Panel Members of these groups will be credited in the GHGT-15 Conference printed Programme.

Assessment

Notification

Publications

You will receive notification of your paper acceptance or rejection by the first week of May 2020. If the paper is accepted, a full paper version must be submitted by September 2020 to guarantee publication on the conference website prior to the conference and inclusion in the conference proceedings.

It is important to note that any changes to the final paper submitted that differ from the original submitted abstract such as paper title or co-authors must be notified to the Secretariat before the full paper deadline.


Early Bird Online registration will be open Spring 2020 and will end mid-June 2020 (exact dates will be notified on the conference website and via social media closer to the time).

It is important to note that any changes to the final paper submitted that differ from the original submitted abstract such as paper title or co-authors must be notified to the Secretariat before the full paper deadline

For any assistance with the abstract/paper submission process, please contact the GHGT-15 Conference Secretariat: [email protected]

The GHGT-15 Technical Programme Committee has detailed a list of subthemes under each main theme, which can be found listed in the following pages. Authors are requested to select the subtheme most appropriate for their paper during submission to assist with the review process. The list is not exclusive, and should an abstract not fit under any of the listed subthemes, it will still be considered for inclusion and can be submitted under Other/Others’. Please see the following pages for a breakdown of the themes.
