The PCOR Partnership Annual Meeting was held September 13-14, 2011, in Denver, Colorado. The meeting attracted 83 attendees representing 42 organizations from 12 states, the District of Columbia, and four Canadian provinces.

The annual meeting provided an overview of carbon management topics, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), regulatory updates, media relations and outreach strategies. The meeting also provided summaries of the PCOR Partnership’s completed and ongoing activities.

In addition to the meeting, a workshop titled Foundations of CCS Geology was held on September 12, 2011. The half-day introductory workshop was designed for everyone involved in or associated with CCS projects and provided an explanation of key geology concepts, along with rock specimens and activities. The tools, techniques, and vocabulary of the geologist were also emphasized throughout the workshop.

The presentations from the meeting and workshop are now available in the Products Database of the Partners-Only Web site. Click “Browse by Meeting” to view the complete list.
