Dr. Paitoon (PT) Tontiwachwuthikul，加拿大里贾纳大学工程学院教授，加拿大工程院院士。PT教授自1983年以来一直在加拿大从事二氧化碳的捕获与利用的研究与新技术开发工作，是位于加拿大里贾纳大学的CO₂捕获国际研究中心的创始人和主持人。同时，童教授还兼任位于加拿大全球知名的二氧化碳驱油工业示范工程Weyburn-EOR IEA项目管理委员会成员。

报告内容摘要：

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) plays a key role in addressing two important problems of our life-time: (i) climate-change and (ii) energy security. From the perspective of life cycle assessment, the total emission of CO₂ per unit energy produced from the oil produced by CO₂ EOR flooding is much less than that from natural gas. CCUS is an important research area for the petroleum industry for two major reasons. First, it is an important processing step for most natural gas processing plants, petroleum refineries, and chemical and energy production facilities such as hydrogen production plants, synthesis gas plants, coal-gasification units, and oil-sand operations. Secondly, this area of research is important because the captured carbon dioxide can be used directly as a flooding agent for EOR applications, which are critical for sustaining the current production of crude oil and providing energy for China and the rest of the world.Therefore, CCUS can provide double benefits. Not only does the commodity chemical of the captured CO₂ generate revenue, but using the captured CO₂ in EOR processes also reduces the net CO₂ released to the atmosphere at minimal cost. Hence, there is an urgent need for the research and development of cost-effective CCUS technologies, especially for future applications in the petroleum industry.
