Details

The target audience is geoscientists from industry and academia who are interested in improving their knowledge of new advances in geochemistry within a sustainable and environmental framework and in exchanging views on emerging research issues for climate and environment. The workshop will address current and future challenges and research directions facing geochemistry to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The workshop will provide an overview of recent geochemical developments dealing with, among others, the compensation of anthropogenic gas emissions, the surface and subsurface storage of carbon, the new energy resource assessment (H2, Li, He). Through illustrative application cases, we will delve into geochemical analytical approaches. The aim is to address and discuss in depth the future challenges we will face to move faster and better towards a decarbonized world. Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop: Geochemistry for CO2 Removal: CCS, subsurface organo-mineral interactions, water geochemistry, surface mineralization, enhanced wheathering, etc. Geochemistry for New Energy Resources in the Energy Transition: Native hydrogen, helium, lithium, critical materials, etc… Geochemistry for Climate and Environment: Soil recarbonization, post-mining risks and impacts, petroleum industry emissions from exploration to decommissioning, soil pollution and remediation, climate change mitigation, natural gas emissions, air pollution.
