Houston and the Gulf Coast region play a pivotal role in carbon management initiatives, owing to their extensive industrial presence and their close proximity to underground geological formations capable of securely and permanently storing substantial quantities of CO2.
Simultaneously, Houston’s industrial history includes negative consequences, particularly affecting vulnerable fenceline and frontline communities. While Houston has held a prominent position in global energy production for over a century, it now aims to assume a leadership role in the global clean energy economy for the 100 years. The Summit offers a platform for Houston’s community organizations, industry leaders, and policymakers to evaluate and shape the role that carbon management will play in the future.
