CO₂ Storage Conference 2026

Delivering the Future of Carbon Storage

6 – 7 October 2026 | The Chester Hotel, Aberdeen

PROGRAMME LIVE – BOOK YOUR PLACE NOW

The past few years have marked a defining period, with carbon capture and storage (CCS) moving from idea to action. Projects are now being built and delivered across the UK, Europe and worldwide, showing that capturing CO2 and storing it safely deep underground is possible at scale. Governments, industry and researchers are working together to invest in new projects, create clearer rules, and share what they learn.

Attention is now shifting from "can we do CCS?" to "how do we do it well and accelerate deployment?"  This year's programme reflects that, spanning five themes across the two days:

  • Subsurface Characterisation & Storage
  • Wells & Infrastructure
  • Measurement, Monitoring & Verification (MMV)
  • Policy & Regulation
  • Operations & Project Development

By bringing together industry leaders, researcher and policy makers, the conference provides a platform to share progress, discuss lessons from ongoing projects, and explore pathways for accelerating delivery - from storage site selection and well design through to monitoring, regulation and cross-border CO2 transport.

Who Should Attend?

The CO2 Storage Conference brings together the full range of professionals working to deliver carbon storage at scale, including:

  • Subsurface and reservoir specialists — geoscientists, reservoir engineers, and modelling experts working on storage site characterisation and performance
  • Wells and infrastructure engineers — those involved in well design, integrity, and the transport and storage infrastructure that underpins CCS
  • Monitoring and MMV professionals — specialists in measurement, monitoring, and verification across the injection lifecycle
  • Policy makers and regulators — those shaping licensing, regulation, and the commercial frameworks for CCS
  • Project and operations leaders — developers and operators taking projects from concept through to first injection and beyond
  • Researchers and academics — university teams and students advancing the science and technology of CO2 storage
  • Commercial, investment, and supply chain professionals — those building the business models, financing, and supply chains needed to scale the industry

Available Opportunities

Exhibition Opportunities

Exhibiting at the CO2 Storage Conference is a cost-effective promotional opportunity. There will be ample opportunity for maximum interaction between exhibitors and delegates during the registration period, coffee breaks, and during lunch. To enquire about exhibition packages, please contact aberdeen.events@spe-uk.org.

Sponsorship Opportunities

The organisers of this event, SPE Aberdeen and GESGB, are not-for-profit organisations with the shared aims of:

  • Promoting technical knowledge and research in the energy sector
  • Supporting professional development and career growth
  • Facilitating networking and collaboration among industry professionals
  • Encouraging education, outreach, and future talent development in energy

Raising sponsorship is crucial to help us ensure that the CO2 Storage Conference continues to be an affordable and valuable training opportunity for the industry, to enable us to re-invest back into industry, and to support our future workforce.

Information on available packages can be found on the Programme flyer or contact aberdeen.events@spe-uk.org.
