Global CCSI has some of the attributes for carbon capture, and the Direct Air Capture Coalition is a new organization addressing some of those issues in the DAC space.Īm I missing similar organizations? Let me know in the comments. I don’t see a direct parallel yet for carbon capture or carbon removal. It was a neat group to be part of because there's just so much information and ideas and goodwill. They got together and then figured out what was good for the market and provided education and awareness to regulators and the public. Most of the industry attended the annual meeting, and they were very collegial. They had this Gasification Technologies Council (now Global Syngas Technology Council). It got me thinking back 15 – 20 years when I was focused on gasification. I was struck both by the lively discussion of the pros and cons of each technology, as well as the collegial atmosphere and acknowledgment that there is a need for many different technologies to address the size and breadth of the market. One of the carbon capture panels was moderated by an engineering firm and included three fairly different capture technologies. Vezer Industrial Professionals corporate office is located in 400 Peachtree Pkwy Ste 4542, Cumming, Georgia, 30041, United States and has 37 employees. Smaller than in the past, it has evolved to reflect the current market. The conference has changed significantly from a decade ago. This case is just another example that even small companies must pay attention to their ESI preservation obligations once those obligations are triggered.This February, I attended PowerGen for the first time in many years. The court found the company had “proceeded with business as usual, without making any special effort to retain ESI relevant to this litigation.”Īlthough the court concluded the death penalty (a default judgment) was inappropriate in the case, the court did award monetary sanctions.The court reiterated the following warning to lawyers: “Defense counsel’s apparent failure, in this electronic age, to verify with appropriate representatives of their client whether there was an e-mail backup system, cannot be countenanced.” According to the court, the fact that one of the key players’ computer crashed was “no excuse” given that the witness admitted he did not backup any of his ESI.The court said these facts were not valid explanations for the minimal to no effort made by the company to preserve relevant ESI, including documents sent, received, or created by key players. The court rejected the defendant’s argument that it was a “small company,” that the case was not document intensive, and that most relevant communications took place by phone or in person.Two of the defendant’s executives, including the owner, admitted they made no effort to retrieve potentially relevant ESI from their computers.The court in Perez found the defendant had breached its discovery obligations, noting the following: 2011) involved a truck accident, but the lawsuit quickly reached the point where the plaintiff sought a default judgment against the defendant for failure to preserve emails and other ESI. Even for a “small company,” the failure to comply with discovery obligations to preserve electronically stored information (ESI) can be dangerous.
