Comments from previous workshop participants

“I enjoyed workshop presentations and group works. The program was tight but we also had enough time to network with speakers and other participants. The workshop coordination and planning was great!”

“The workshop’s content was well-organized and thoughtfully designed. The progression of topics was logical and easy to follow, allowing participants to build their understanding step by step. The materials provided were comprehensive and relevant, offering valuable resources for future reference.”

“As an LCA/TEA practitioner and consultant, the most helpful aspect was being able to have discussions with the key methodology and model developers.”

“The workshop brought together a lot of interesting perspectives and LCA/TEA policy makers and practitioners. It was incredibly helpful to hear the perspectives of all of these different groups, and to discuss how we could harmonize LCA/TEA approaches for CCUS.”

“I have been incredibly pleased and satisfied with the GCI CCS workshop. I am eager to attend virtually this year. The workshop provided me with an essential network that assisted me and my students with life cycle assessment. In fact the workshop was indispensable for me.”
