6. KEY MESSAGES
The Global Status of CCS: 2012
1. Action is needed now to ensure CCS can play a vital role in
tackling climate change
2. CCS is already contributing, but progress must be accelerated
3. Steady progress but important developments
4. Encouraging policy support but more required
5. Barriers must be overcome to realise the benefits of CCS
6. Reducing the cost of technology through demonstration
projects is vital
7. Acceleration of CCS depends on collaboration and knowledge
sharing

15. KEY
MESSAGE ENCOURAGING POLICY SUPPORT BUT MORE
[4 REQUIRED
[
 CCS in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
marks an exciting new era.
 Inclusion in the CDM enhances international recognition
and encourages institutional arrangements needed to
support CCS projects.
 Progress has also been seen in a number of countries –
including the UK, China and Australia.
 Vital that more progress is made and for the necessary
regulatory infrastructure to be in place to support CCS.
15

16. KEY
MESSAGE ENCOURAGING POLICY SUPPORT BUT MORE
[4 REQUIRED
[
 UK taking leading role by implementing policies intended
to drive CCS deployment beyond demonstration projects.
 European Commission announcing the current order of
selection for the NER300 funding program.
 Full ratification of the OSPAR Convention which is
important to transporting and storing CO2 offshore.
 Challenges remain for the adoption of the amendments to
the London Protocol to allow the export of CO2 for
storage in offshore geological formations.
 International standards for CCS are being developed but
this is likely to take time.

18. KEY
MESSAGE BARRIERS MUST BE OVERCOME TO REALISE
[5 THE BENEFITS OF CCS
[
 Storage site selection and characterisation is a lengthy
and costly process.
 Early storage exploration is critical for many projects to
proceed.
 Majority of perceived risk in CCS projects is often
associated with storage.
 Public understanding of CCS remains low.
 Need to bring down the costs of CO2 capture through
technology developments and demonstration.

21. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DECISION MAKERS
 Climate change legislation must not be delayed.
 In order to achieve emission reductions in the most efficient
and effective way CCS must not be disadvantaged.
 Funding for CCS demonstration projects should be
accelerated.
 Expertise and learning must be shared.
