The European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP) represents stakeholders in CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) as a key technology for combating climate change.

Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is an international climate change initiative that is focused on development of improved cost-effective technologies for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide for its transport and long-term safe storage.

The IEAGHG studies and evaluates technologies that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions derived from the use of fossil fuels.

The Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute works collaboratively to build and share the expertise necessary to ensure that carbon capture and storage (CCS) can make a significant impact on reducing the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an autonomous organisation which works to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member countries and beyond.

The objective of energy research under FP7 is to aid the creation and establishment of the technologies necessary to adapt the current energy system into a more sustainable, competitive and secure one.

The European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) Demonstration Project Network was launched in autumn 2009. Its primary, initial aim is to enhance co-ordination between the earliest players involved in European CCS demonstration projects.

Information about the CO2 Field Laboratory which is aimed at obtaining knowledge about monitoring CO2 migration in geological formations.

 

The ECO2 project will establish a framework of best environmental practices to guide the management of offshore CO2 injection and storage for the marine environment.

QICS is a scientific research project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council of the UK. Its purpose is to improve understanding of the sensitivities of the UK marine environment to a potential leak from a carbon capture and storage (CCS) system.

A multiple space and time scale approach for the quanitifcation of deep saline formations for CO2 storage.

The EUROFLEETS is a Research Infrastructures project under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission. Aiming at bringing together the European research fleets to enhance their coordination and promote the cost effective use of their facilities.

Environmental Technology for Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Aquifers: This project aims at developing environmental technologies needed for reducing the atmospheric CO₂ concentration

CGS Europe, the "Pan-European coordination action on CO2 Geological Storage", is a project funded within the 7th Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities.

 

European Network of Excellence for geological storage of CO2

 

The Directorate-General for Climate Action ("DG CLIMA") was established in February 2010, climate change being previously included in the remit of DG Environment of the European Commission. It leads international negotiations on climate, helps the EU to deal with the consequences of climate change and to meet its targets for 2020, as well as develops and implements the EU Emissions Trading System.

The Monitoring Selection Tool has been created to identify and prioritise techniques that could form part of a monitoring programme. The tool will help users to design a protocol to monitor a CO2storage project during all stages from site characterisation through to post-closure.

 

Provides an overview of CO2 storage and links to active and recent research projects.

ZERO will contribute to limiting the threat posed by climate change by promoting carbon-free energy solutions. In our view, emission-free alternatives exist for all energy use, and ZERO works continuously for their realisation
