The 2°C targets matter
‘Business as usual’ leads to an unacceptable rise in average global temperature.
“A 4°C world is so different from the current one that it comes with high uncertainty and new risks that threaten our ability to anticipate and plan for future adaptation needs.”
World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, November 2012

CCS has a vital role to play in achieving CO2 emission targets
“We now need to shift to a higher gear in developing CCS into a true energy option, to be deployed at large scale. It is not enough to only see CCS in long term energy scenarios as a solution that happens some time in the distant future. Instead we must get to its true development right here and now .”
Maria van der Hoeven Executive Director IEAForeword to IEA CCS Technology Roadmap 2013

CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to explain and the language
is a nightmare!
There is a real lack of champions

There is just nothing visually interesting

CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to explain and the language
is a nightmare!
It’s way too expensive!
It’s only experimental technology

CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to explain and the language
is a nightmare!
There is such a lack of understanding: energy/ climate
change/ geoscience
It’s way too expensive!
It’s only experimental technology

The CO2 trap...
CO2 is pumped into the tiny holes in POROUS, PERMEABLE rocks.
Above the porous/ permeable rock, there is non-porous rock that seals in the CO2
We call this CAP ROCK.
