MatGas, a center of excellence on CO2 born as a joint venture among Carburos Metálicos- Air Products Group, the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas-CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona-UAB) has initiated a Seminar Series on CO2 and related issues.

MatGas aims at contributing at different levels in the research and development of technologies for CO2 capture and utilization, working in the improvement of green technologies, friendly with the environment. The objective of this series of seminars is to acquire and divulgate a solid knowledge of the state of the art in the field of CO2 capture, utilization and energy issues associated to environmentally benign energy technology.

Several international experts on CO2 capture, sequestration, utilization and energy related issues (including hydrogen) have been and will be invited to participate at this series. Their expertise gives a broad perspective to the subject: from fundamental knowledge to well developed technologies. The complementary approach will enlighten the issues and challenges on this relevant topic.

The seminar series was inaugurated on December 2007. A list of invited speakers who already participated includes: Prof. Alain Demourgues, from ICMCB-CNRS-University of Bordeaux 1 (France), Dr. J. Angel Menendez, from INCAR-CSIC (Spain), Prof. Ken Seddon, from Belfast (UK), Prof. Mercedes Maroto-Valer from University of Nottingham (UK), Dr. Santiago Sabugal, president of the Spanish CO2 Platform (Spain) and Prof. Bob Armstrong, Deputy Director of the MIT Center for Energy Initiative (USA)
