The event was organized by the Environmental Engineering Academic Center (CAEA) and focused on promoting the culture and visibility of environmental engineering and its intersections with other areas, as well as involving students with professionals and with the routine of environmental engineers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe were called upon by the SemEA organizers, who showed an interest in taking RCGI staff to the event for a lecture. We chose the CCS subject, which is one of the technologies used to mitigate anthropogenic CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions and other greenhouse gases (GHG)\u201d, explains Drielli Peyerl, one of the members of the team of the RCGI\u2019s Project 42, which was responsible for the minicourse.
