Alberta Energy-Government of Alberta (July to Sep 2012) Edmonton, Alberta
Mexican delegate
• Participation in the activities of Alberta Energy’s Carbon Capture and Storage office
• Analysis of the Regulatory Framework Assessment developed for Alberta’s CCS projects, monitoring plans and technological tools for the assessment of underground CO2 injection
• Examination of environmental and social considerations related to CCS development
Centro Mario Molina (2010 to date) Mexico City, Mexico
Project Engineer
• Supported a demonstrative project proposed within the Mexican energy sector (power supply and petroleum) to capture, transport and inject CO2 into Mexican oil depleted fields
• Revised existing national and international regulatory framework on Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)
• Revised and suggested site characterization criteria for selecting appropriate sites for CO2 geological sequestration
• Revised and suggested monitoring methodologies and software modeling for achieving safe CO2 geological sequestration and CO2 plume identification underground
