Objectives? The promotion of the science of energy and fuels, in all applications and uses. To promote the role, status and contribution of energy professionals in society and maintain professional standards To equip energy professionals with tools to enable their positive contribution to society To ensure the availability of good quality energy education and learning provision To provide a forum for debate to facilitate the development and dissemination of energy knowledge and good practice To enhance public understanding of energy resources and their role in society.
EI activities 14,000 individual members and around 400 company members Licensed to offer chartered energy or petroleum engineering status Accredits courses, supports company and individual training Events, workshops, dissemination of information Technical research programme
EI Technical Programme The EI s Technical Programme aims to provide industry with cost effective, value adding knowledge on key current and future issues.

Carbon Capture and Storage Carbon Capture and Storage is a new area of work Approached by HSE facilitating discussion Bring confidence in operational good practice to regulators and industry Cross industry working group including power stations, offshore oil and gas and pipelines Preparing a guidance document good practice in modelling dense phase and supercritical CO2 dispersion from CCS installations carrying out some demonstration CO2 releases in 2008 combined with modelling to validate the good practice guidance
Carbon Capture and Storage Companies involved with us on Carbon Capture and Storage include: Advantica Group Air Products Amec BG Group BP Conoco Phillips DentonWildeSapte Environment Agency EON HSE ILF Consulting Marathon MMI Engineering Powerfuel Plc Progressive Energy RAS RWE npower Schlumberger Scottish & Southern Shell Total
Carbon Capture and Storage Objective of JIP Provide improved understanding of the likely affects of a CO2 release using existing industry knowledge of the physical properties of CO2 and existing knowledge of dispersion modelling Provide a set of modelling parameters that can be used in existing models AND stand up to scientific examination Provide enough data to show how existing models that are used for other materials ( e.g.nh3, Cl2, N2 O2 etc) can be used for CO2 release and dispersion calculations in many situations. State in which areas further study is required in order to improve the accuracy for more critical or borderline decisions Avoid reinventing the wheel.
Carbon Capture and Storage Work will then develop into second good practice guidance document on mitigation of dense phase and supercritical CO2 releases other work identified by the group As new technologies develop, important to continue working to ensure that the operational aspects are undertaken efficiently and safely and good practice is disseminated as widely as possible. EI continue to work with industry, academia, regulators, all stakeholders to achieve this aim.
