Established through the pioneering efforts of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the U.S. Department of Energy and the Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium, the Sequestration Training and Education Program was created to share new climate mitigation technology as it is developed, dramatically reducing the time it takes for innovations in research to produce positive global change.

Through continuing education, hands-on training and innovative outreach programs, STEP provides career enhancement opportunities and leadership development for engineers, geologists, service providers, regulators, executives and others in wide range of energy related fields.
