A huge number of scientists, researchers, professionals (around 1000) coming from Universities, Institutions and Company from all over the world, made presentations focusing on the technologies and the developments in the field of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS). 
 
During the conference, an exhibitor space has been reserved for the Chair Gaz Naturel – Petrosvibri (EPFL), in which were presented the research activities done at the Chair, focusing on the advanced multiphysical testing and modelling of CO2 storage.

Dr. Chao Li presented a poster intitled “Caprock and surface deformation induced by carbon dioxide injection” in the Geomechanics poster session.
Dr. Roman Makhnenko presented a paper intitled “Hydromechanical aspects of CO2 breakthrough into clay-rich caprock” in the session Geomechanics (1).
The participants at the conference had the opportunity to visit the Laboratory for Soil Mechanics – Chair Gaz Naturel – Petrosvibri more details at the following link http://www.epfl.ch/labs/lms/page-139187-fr.html).
