Carbon Capture and Storage: Funding Climate Technology and Securing a Net-Zero Future

 Virtual
 May 26, 2021

Webinar Overview

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key climate technology proven to significantly reduce emissions. Over 250 million tonnes of CO2 has been captured and stored by CCS facilities to date, and its continued deployment is critical if 2050 Paris Agreement climate targets are to be achieved. With 26 CCS projects in operation and a further 39 at various stages of development, the increased adoption of CCS climate action is driven by increased government action, including grants, financial incentives and regulatory policies such as putting a price on carbon.

This webinar will look at the current state of CCS policy and funding support, along with the varied approaches being taken to accelerate the deployment of CCS. Bringing together policy experts from around the world – including experts from the EU Commission, the U.S. Department of Energy, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank – this online event will highlight insights on the instrumental roll-out of CCS in the global effort to mitigate climate change.
