Platts 8th Annual European Carbon Capture and Storage conference will return early next year to Brussels. Known by the carbon capture and storage community as the preferred meeting place of leading European and international project developers, policy makers, technology providers and observers, we look forward to debating what needs to be done to galvanise action, regain confidence and get European CCS back on track in 2014.

The Global CCS Institute is a sponsor of the 2014 event.

This seminar will be a timely opportunity to assess the progress and way forward on the implementation of the Government's CCS strategy.

Following the selection of the two preferred bidders for the UK's CCS Commercialisation Competition, planned sessions look at the latest developments and next steps in designing, constructing and operating the technology.

The Annual CCUS Conference focuses on carbon capture, separation, utilization and sequestration technologies that are being or could be deployed in the U.S., North America and in developing economies.

The World Coal Association is hosting the 'International Coal & Climate Summit' in Warsaw on 18-19 November 2013.

The Summit will bring together the leadership of the world's largest coal producing companies, senior policy-makers, business leaders, academics and NGO representatives to discuss the role of coal in the global economy, in the context of the climate change agenda.

The 4^th Korea CCS International Conference assembles the best talent in the CCS RD&D fields; experts, management teams, engineers, and executives alike gather to collaborate and address these current challenges, celebrate evolution and achievement over the last 15+ years, and promote the multitude of opportunities fundamental for a successful future in CO₂ capture, storage, conversion and utilization, demonstration, and policy.

The global clean energy community comprising of renewables, energy efficiency and carbon capture and storage (CCS) was recently lauded by the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) as being additive rather than competitive; and that international collaboration to demonstrate these technologies at scale to overcome the challenges must be to the benefit of the global commons. These themes are further discussed by an eminent panel of globally respected experts.

Climate science increasingly demands of carbon capture and storage (CCS) a substantive theoretical mitigation role over the medium term. The reality is that CCS progress continues to be stifled by changing government priorities, a weakening propensity to invest by the private sector and low community acceptability. This discussion will explore these challenges as well as identify further opportunities to support CCS.

This side-event will provide an overview of the latest developments in the technological, policy and regulatory aspects of carbon capture and storage (CCS). The value propositions that support the business cases of investments in early large-scale CCS demonstration projects will be examined, as will the positive spillover effects associated with such demonstrations. The commercial pathways that can provide for the future wide-scale deployment of CCS will also be explored.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) cites carbon capture and storage (CCS) as driving between 15-55 per cent of the required greenhouse gas emissions abatement by 2100.
