Event Summary:
Building the new CO2 capture facilities, pipelines and storage systems on the massive scale and aggressive timelines needed to meet international climate obligations will require significant collaboration between industry, governments, financial institutions and other partners. As governments continue to work on implementing the necessary policies and efficient regulatory processes to support private-sector investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) from industrial facilities, as well direct removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the industries that depend on the successful development of these technologies for their long-term survival must also set out realistic business models that are not overly reliant on public subsidies to ensure their existence in a net-zero world. What is the right mix of public support and private investment, and how can the billions of dollars required for the expansion of large-scale CCS and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects be unlocked so that projects can get underway quickly?

Breakwater Vantage is a solution focused business bringing integrated technology to support environmental and sustainability goals. This company was founded on the principle of purpose: to serve the communities we work in and bring value to all stakeholders. Partnership with Indigenous communities is a fundamental step towards delivering solutions that are not only supported by stakeholders but deliver value to the community. We were founded on the respect and understanding for the natural environment, sustainable development, operational excellence, and innovation and integration of technology across multiple sectors (energy, agricultural, and municipal). We are committed to working with the community, supply chain, governments and industry to develop sound solutions and policies to deliver innovative and off-the-shelf solutions. Now more than ever, we have the obligation to do what drives value and ensure outcomes are aligned with social, economic and environmental governance.
