The 5th Chemical and Materials Engineering Graduate Research Symposium
 
Dr. Stefan Bachu Principal Scientist on CO2 Geological Storage Alberta Research Council Stefan is currently Principal Scientist for CO2 Storage at the Alberta Research Council (ARC). From 1999 to 2008 he was Senior Advisor for Energy and Carbon Management Geoscience at the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB). For more than a decade Stefan has focused his research interest and efforts on the potential for, and risks of CO2 storage in geological media as a mitigation strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Between 2002 and 2005 Stefan was a member of the NSERC Strategic Project Grants Panel for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation, and also contributed as a Lead Author to Chapter 5 on CO2 Geological Storage of the IPCC Special Report on CO2 Capture and Storage, in which capacity he co-shares in the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to IPCC. Between 2005 and 2007 Stefan represented ERCB on the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission Task Force on CO2 Storage. In 2007 Stefan served on the Technical Working Group of the Canada-Alberta EcoEnergy Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage. Since 2004 Stefan represents Canada on the Technical Group of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), where he chaired the CSLF Task Force on CO2 Storage Capacity Estimation. Stefan is Associate Editor of the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, and has published more than 80 papers in journals and conference proceedings and made more than 100 presentations on the subject of CO2 sequestration in geological media. http://www.ags.gov.ab.ca/publications/ROCKCHIPS/winter07_rockchips.pdfshapeimage_2_link_0
