CO₂ Capture Project - Our Goals

In order to help make CCS a practical reality and utilised in many different industries and applications around the world, the CCP aims to accomplish the following goals:

Increase technical and cost knowledge associated with CO₂ capture technologies and confirm that geological storage of CO₂ is a secure and viable means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Reduce CO₂ Capture costs by 20-30% through choosing improved technologies.
Identify and understand practices surrounding geological storage of CO₂; encouraging public awareness and understanding.
Develop consistent technological standards for the evaluation of storage sites. Compose a set of proposed standards for storage, monitoring, verification, and closure that will allow credit from emissions-trading.
Co-operate with interested parties to share information about both capture and storage demonstrations.
