The Global Status of CCS: 2012

The Global CCS Institute is pleased to announce the release of The Global Status of CCS: 2012 report.

The annual status of CCS report provides a comprehensive overview of the development of CCS projects and technologies around the world—progress, challenges and recommendations—and of actions taken to assist the demonstration of those technologies at a large scale.

Covering developments from late 2011, until the beginning of September 2012, the report draws on the results of the Institute's annual project survey, which is completed by lead proponents of major CCS projects, interviews with personnel from many of these projects, and research.

The report is intended as a comprehensive reference guide for industry, government, research bodies and the broader community.
