In February, the Institute hosted an event in Brussels with the UK Mission to the European Union. This event on industrial decarbonisation focused on role of CCS in supporting the industrial transition and featured an excellent and diverse line-up of speakers which included representatives from the UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, London Stock Exchange Group, Carbon Clean Solutions and  Zero Emissions Platform. This was also the opportunity for the Institute to present the findings of its Global Status of CCS report.

     

The next wave of carbon capture and storage

At the end of January, the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Center hosted the Institute's US launch of the Global Status of CCS report. The event gave an overview of the global landscape of CCS facilities, the next generation of projects and relevant policies taking shape globally.
