GHGT Conferences

The Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT) conference series was formed in 1997 following the merger of the earlier series of ICCDR and the Greenhouse Gas: Mitigation options conference. The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D programme (IEA GHG) is the guardian of the conference series. The GHGT conferences are held every two years in IEA GHG’s member countries. The conference series rotates between, North America, Europe and Asia. The conferences held to date are listed below. Click on them for information on how to order a copy of their proceedings:

• GHGT-4, Interlaken, Switzerland 1998.
• GHGT-5, Cairns, Australia, 2000.
• GHGT-6, Kyoto, Japan, 2002 - no longer available.
• GHGT-7, Vancouver, Canada, 2004 - contact IEA GHG.
• GHGT-8, Trondheim, Norway, 2006

The GHGT conference series has established itself as the principal international conference on greenhouse mitigation technologies. The last conference (GHGT-8) was the largest held to date, attracting over 950 delegates. As at previous conferences there was considerable interest in the topic of CO2 capture and storage. The GHGT conference series has become a focal point for international research on CO2 capture and storage. Interest in the topic of CO2 capture and storage has grown considerably in recent years, as has research funding which is reflected in the large number of papers presented at this conference on the topic.

GHGT-9 is to be held 16 - 20 November 2008 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington DC.
