International CCS Knowledge Centre Information

Globally sharing our large-scale #CCS/#CCUS expertise to see substantive cuts in #CO2 #emissions from #energy & #industry sectors. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DNTBSP WHO WE ARE At the International CCS Knowledge Centre, our passion is to accelerate the global deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS/CCUS) through the advancement of the understanding and the use of CCS as a means for countries and their citizens to manage current and future GHG emissions. WHY We do this because we recognize the urgency and collective responsibility to act now to tackle climate change. CCS is a proven, reliable and clean technology that removes the single largest amount of CO2 from the atmosphere, more than any other existing technology. As recognized by the UN International Panel on Climate Change, the international targets set in Kyoto and Paris are not economically feasible without CCS. HOW We bring together countries with significant CCS experience with those in the early stages of their learning curve. We are facilitators who operate to ensure that there is support and momentum within these three fundamental drivers for success: policy and economics, capacity, and financing. WHAT Created in 2016, the International CCS Knowledge Centre is a non-profit organization sponsored jointly by global resource leader, BHP and SaskPower with the goal of accelerating the world-wide development of CCS technology through the: - sharing of access to data, information, and lessons learned from SaskPower’s Boundary Dam 3 CCS Integrated Facility (BD3); and, - incorporating the knowledge and experience from CCS projects elsewhere in the world. INTENT Our intent is global impact. For climate solutions to be effective and for CCS development to be accelerated, the work does not reside with one organization, province, or country; it requires concerted collaboration by all.
