2. Latest position UK CAT strategy – R&D, component demos, pilot scale demos, work on regulations etc. Actions out to 2010 BERR CAT strategy CCS demonstration competition - single post-combustion 300MW power plant with CCS by 2014 European Council – all new fossil PSs with CCS from 2020(now an aspiration) IEA at UNFCCC Bali conf – 600 CCS plants by 2030

4. New Vision Original CAT strategy remains sound but must be accelerated More focus on deployment - what is required to get to deployment - what will be required by markets Need to revitalise whole of innovation process for capture storage and monitoring - from Research right through to Deployment Lessons learnt from previous successes eg fgd, low NOx, need to be applied to CCS

5. Revised CAT Strategy – Areas to be addressed Action areas: - RD&D priorities - Deployment of CATs - Public attitudes - Legal and regulatory - Development of a market mechanism for CO 2 - Development of CO 2 transport /storage networks - Technology transfer Linkage to Research Council programmes Linkage to TSB and other funding bodies Positioning and linkage for EU programmes International collaboration Planning, funding and timescales

10. APG TF Concluding remarks Importance of clean use of fossil fuels - a critical transitional issue in getting to a sustainable energy future - an essential part of the portfolio Importance of accelerating the take-up of CCS - CCS Competition is good news but need more focus on deployment covering whole chain – capture, transport and storage (many of a kind) - Must involve whole innovation chain for all key technologies Importance of addressing issue worldwide -use of high efficiency technologies -retrofitting of high efficient coal plant with CCS to avoid carbon lock-in -new build CCS No time to lose …..urgent for action
