CCS Ready

The Global CCS Institute engaged ICF International to undertake a project to develop a CCS ready definition and recommended practices for policymakers.

As the key consultation mechanism for the project, the Global CCS Institute hosted a series of regional roundtable discussions in North America, Europe and Asia to source views on the development of an internationally recognised definition of CCS Ready. These roundtables brought together participants from governments, industry and other stakeholders to explore opportunities for a recognised definition, consider potential industrial plant issues associated with CCS ready and recommend assess gains from CCS ready regulation.

The outcomes of these roundtables have been distilled into a final report which and recommended practices for policymakers considering implementing a CCS ready policy.

Global Stocktake of CCS projects: Call for new information

The Global CCS Institute is currently undertaking its latest global stocktake of CCS projects with the assistance of WorleyParsons and Schlumberger. The outcomes of the stocktake will feed into a report on CCS being developed for the Group of Eight (G8) meeting scheduled for June 2010 in Canada.

An Ideal Portfolio of CCS Projects and Rationale for Supporting Projects Report

The Global CCS Institute engaged L.E.K. Consulting to research and propose a theoretical portfolio of CCS projects, as well as a rationale for supporting projects. This portfolio study consists of two sections: the Ideal Portfolio which describes the range of projects that would address different hurdles to CCS deployment; and the Rationale for Supporting Projects which describes possible ways in which the Global CCS Institute can identify and support CCS projects as they relate to an Ideal Portfolio. The Global CCS Institute will use the recommendations of this study to shape its strategy going forward on its selection of, and involvement with, CCS projects.

Strategic Analysis of the Global Status of CCS

In May 2009, a consortium led by WorleyParsons and comprising Schlumberger, Electric Power Research Institute and Baker & McKenzie was engaged to undertake the Strategic Analysis of the Global Status of Carbon Capture and Storage. The consortium was tasked to undertake a comprehensive survey of the status of CCS and to develop a series of reports analysing CCS projects, the economics of CCS, policies supporting CCS development and existing research and development networks. A fifth report - the Synthesis Report - was also developed and this summarises the findings of the first four reports, and provides a comprehensive assessment of the gaps and barriers to the deployment of large-scale CCS projects, including strategies and recommendations to address these issues.
