Birba inks agreement with GCC and GORD to deliver MENA’s flagship CCUS forum

Muscat: Birba, an Omani events, media and intelligence agency, has signed to a two-year strategic partnership with the Global Carbon Council (GCC) and the Gulf Organisation for Research and Development (GORD) to deliver the MENA region’s first-ever Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Forum. Scheduled to be hosted at Le Royal Meridien Hotel in Qatar’s Lusail City from 29 – 31 May 2023, the forum will promote CCUS technologies and share how innovation is spearheading global efforts to decarbonize and reverse legacy emissions.

“Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) can play a critical role in addressing the environmental challenges faced by the MENA region, which is heavily reliant on fossil fuels. By capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions from oil and gas production, CCUS can help minimize the impact of these carbon intensive industries on the environment and support the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Our support in organizing the region’s first CCUS Forum is motivated by our belief that the development and implementation of CCUS technologies will be instrumental and imperative in achieving a carbon-neutral future and ensuring a livable planet for generations to come. By partnering with Birba, GCC and GORD are steadfast in their commitment to environmental
