Additional Key Resources TITLE ACCESS CCS Legal and Regulatory Review (IEA, 2011): In May 2011, the IEA released the 2nd Edition of its CCS legal & regulatory review. The report provides coverage of recent and anticipated developments in the CC field at the regional and national level across a number of countries. Access Global Status of CCS 2010 (GCCSI, 2011): This Global CCS Institute report consolidates the current understanding of the level and nature (both public and private) of global CCS activities, as well as the major opportunities and challenges experienced by large-scale integrated projects (LSIPs). The report also seeks to assist domestic governments focus their responses to accelerate the demonstration phase of CCS. CCS Regulatory Tool Kit (GCCSI, 2011): The Global CCS Institute has released a toolkit on ensuring best practice regulations and permitting processes around carbon capture and storage projects, providing a blueprint for nations seeking to roll out the technology. CCS and Public Awareness (EC, 2011): EuroBarometer, a report released by European Commission, says there is low awareness about CCS large-scale demonstration among Europeans. According to the study, the majority of people do not expect CCS to be linked to local benefits; however, the majority of respondents also want to CCS compulsory for new coal -fired power plants. NATCARB Database (2011): The National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB) has recently re-launched a modified website and updated database, showcasing CCS project and technology developments worldwide. A global CCS map is available on the site. New CCS Report (Alstom Power, 2011): Alstom has recently released a study demonstrating CCS is efficient and cost competitive. The results of the study are based on Alstom's 13 pilot and demonstration projects and are validated by independent experts. The report concluded that the cost of a commercial scale CCS project with a coal-burning power plant would be between 6.5-8.5 eurocents/kWh. The report also predicted CO2 capture rates of 90%. According to the report CCS, based projects are now competitive with renewable energy and will improve as the technology matures Study CSIRO Study (2011): CSIRO recently released a “Reducing the Costs of CCS”, a report commissioned for the Garnaut Climate Change Review 2011 Update. The study focuses on opportunities for post-combustion CCS in Australia. Consulates’ CCS Workshop (2011): In May 2011, the UK, Norwegian and Canadian Consulates hosted a workshop on CCS, exploring challenges and opportunities across the global CCS Industry. All presentations are available online. CCS Annual Conference Report: At the 10th Annual International CCS Conference in Pittsburgh delegates and speakers indicated CDM as a real option for CCS. The entire conference report is available online through the Carbon Capture Journal. CCS Rotterdam 2011: The Global CCS Institute recently convened CCS Rotterdam 2011, an event to share knowledge between CCS projects and stakeholders from around the world. This event was an example of knowledge sharing in action; the coming together of parties from across Europe and the world to better understand barriers to deployment of CCS, and identify opportunities to overcome these barriers. CCS and Sectoral Assessments 2011: In-depth technical sectoral assessment related to CCS opportunities and barriers. Study covers the following sectors: biomass; high-purity; iron and steel; refineries; cement; and EOR.
