The London SPE Net Zero Gaia Committee is delighted to bring you the next in our Net Zero webinar series. As carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects scale up globally, the development of onshore CCS hubs demands both robust digital infrastructure and a clear understanding of commercial and financial risks. This session explores two critical dimensions of CCS hub success.
