How will IPAC-CO2 do business?
A. Most of the research will be done through a Community of Practice located at www.ipac-co2.org. This online Community of Practice is the first of its kind to be applied towards carbon capture and storage. The Community of Practice now is in Beta test thanks to the support of the federal government. It is the collaborative means by which IPAC will engage and work with industry and government from around the world. Q. Give me an example of the type of work that will be done through the Community of Practice. A. The Community of Practice is the tool that will links research scientists including those at the Canadian Standards Association to begin establishing a framework to assess the risk of storing carbon dioxide in the ground. Today, there are no standards to assess this risk. That’s the fundamental work IPAC-CO2 will be doing. It’s like establishing a building code for building inspectors to follow except it’s for a brand new, global industry called Carbon Capture and Storage.
