CCS policy: A practical toolkit

In 2022, 45 Mt of CO2 were captured globally using various CCS methods, however, this achievement is only a drop in the bucket compared to the approximately 6,040 Mt of CO2 that needs to be captured and stored annually to meet the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. Despite its great carbon reduction potential, CCS implementation still faces hurdles. One of the keys to unlocking its potential lies in the advancement of policy.

IOGP Europe's Senior Policy Manager Caterina De Matteis, along with industry experts and CCS policy pioneers, discussed practical strategies for promoting buy-in for CCS projects and creating policy frameworks tailored to specific industry needs. During the session, participants had the opportunity to:

  • DISCOVER how CCS policies and regulations are crucial for large-scale decarbonization, and learn about the countries implementing CCS policy frameworks that align with their industrial landscapes.
  • EXPLORE practical strategies to drive support for CCS projects, develop customized policy frameworks, and address implementation challenges.
  • LEARN about the importance of advocating for CCS policies, dispelling common misconceptions, and fostering CCS policy adoption at all levels of government.
