is Project Manager in the Exploration & Production Technology
Group of BP Americas-Houston. He is co-lead of the Storage,
Monitoring and Verification team of the CO2 Capture
Project, a $25 million joint project sponsored by eight
energy companies and three governments with the purpose
of identifying and developing technologies to allow
CO2 to be effectively and economically captured and
stored in the subsurface. He is subsurface technical
liaison for BP to Princeton Carbon Mitigation Initiative,
and principal BP representative for the Weyburn Joint

and Co-Director of the Center for Education at Rice
University. His current research focuses on biogenic
emission of atmospheric trace gases from natural and
agricultural wetlands. He served as a co-convenor of
the International Geosphere Biosphere Program/ Global
Atmospheric Chemistry Focus Group on Exchange of Methane
& Trace Gases in Rice Cultivation (RICE). He was a consultant
to the EPA Agency on Global Warming Issues in Agriculture
and an advisor for the United Nations Development Program
Interregional Research Program on Methane Emission from
Rice Fields in Asia. He also works with the Intergovernmental

Presentation
Michael Moore is Managing and Co-Founding Partner
of GHG Partners, LLC and Falcon Environmental Services.
Falcon Environmental is affiliated with Falcon Gas Storage,
the largest independent natural gas storage company
in the US. He has been exploring ways to develop added
value opportunity with Falcon assets in the greenhouse
gas and commodity CO2 markets as they pertain to aggregation,
storage and redistribution of CO2 to enhanced oil projects
and geologic sinks, in which Falcon gas storage assets
could potentially be utilized as market centers for
CO2
.Neal Lane is Hancock Kelly University Professor
and former Provost of Rice University, and Senior Fellow
of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy,
where he is engaged in matters of science and technology
policy. He served in the Clinton Administration as Assistant
to the President for Science and Technology, Director
of the White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy, and Director of the National Science Foundation
(NSF). He left Rice from 1984 to 1986 to serve as Chancellor
of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Dr.
