Carbon Capture & Storage: Accelerating Commercialisation

Coal is the most abundant worldwide energy resource but it is also the most polluting, so there is no solution to climate change without CCS.

Major public sector funding commitments for six large-scale CCS demonstration projects in Europe and up to ten in the US are paving the way for the innovative technological breakthroughs that will be needed to accelerate the commercialisation of carbon capture & storage.

This discussion group explores ways in which the private sector can now be engaged in the race to commercialise CCS.

 Outlook for the carbon capture and storage market
 Funding options and investment opportunities
 Public sector support schemes
 Break-through innovations needed for commercialisation
 Communication to gain public acceptance
