To help fulfil the potential of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS), the European Commission is sponsoring the world’s first network of demonstration projects, all of which are aiming to be operational by 2015. The goal is to create a prominent community of projects united in the goal of achieving commercially viable CCS by 2020.
The CCS Project Network will foster knowledge sharing amongst the demonstration projects and leverage this new body of knowledge to raise public understanding of the potential of CCS. This will accelerate learning and ensure that we can assist CCS to safely fulfil its potential, both in the EU and in cooperation with global partners.
The European Commission is coordinating the work of the Network and is looking forward to developing the Network into a leading community for CCS deployment.
The first Advisory Forum meeting of the CCS Project Network was held in Brussels on 17 September 2010. To guarantee that the work of the Network is valuable to the wider energy community in Europe, this annual Advisory Forum has been established to review progress and specify the knowledge that can most usefully be generated as outputs of CCS Project Network activities.
