ECO-AI Workshop: Enabling Carbon Capture and Storage using AI
After the success of the ECO-AI workshop in March 2024, we hosted another successful two-half-day workshop in March 2025, where we explored groundbreaking AI solutions in the field of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This event, a key component of the ECO-AI project, aimed to address critical challenges in implementing large-scale CCS technologies. We delved into innovative AI applications that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of CCS processes.
