Abstract:
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology to mitigate CO2 emissions at large-scale, and the need for it is very clear in climate modelling used by the IPCC and International Energy Agency, especially for hard-to-abate industrial sources. However its deployment is behind what is needed, and its interaction with climate policies is complex. This presentation will provide a summary and updates of how CCS is being treated in and developments of most relevance in the global climate scene.
