z CO2NET – our mother networkMission Statement • CO2NET, the Carbon Dioxide Capture and Geological

Storage (CCS) Knowledge Transfer Network, promotesCO2 projects and integrates both the CO2 capture and storage communities’ activities to work together to accelerate enabling technologies towards CO2 emissions reduction through CCS; by avoiding duplication of effort and identifying gaps in the technology to give a clear way forward and an integrated turnkey solution for CCS demonstration and commercialisation.

• Provides a one-stop resource and technical portal to CCS related information and project updates via the CO2NET website at http://www.co2net.com.

z CO2NET – our mother network

• The concept of CO2NET was originally defined under the European Commission's FP5 Programme and was officially launched at the end of 2002 as an European Thematic Network.

• In 2006 the network was restructured to its present form, as a self-funding Carbon Dioxide KnowledgeTransfer Network.

• The Network comprises in excess of 54 companies or organisations, covering 18 countries. Our participantsare amongst the worlds most knowledgeable in the field of Carbon Capture and Storage.

z Detailed objectives

· Provide membership support to new CO2NET member organisations from EU new Member States and Associated Candidate Countries and enable them active participation in networking activities

· Co-organise the CO2NET Annual Seminar in 2008 and organise 2 regional workshops in new Member States and/or Associated Candidate Countries (2007 and 2009)

· Disseminate knowledge and increase awareness of CO2 capture and storage technologies in new Member States and Associated Candidate Countries during the whole project duration and afterwards

· Establish links among CCS stakeholders in new Member States and Associated Candidate Countries and between them and their partners in other EU countries using the existing networks, especially CO2NET and ENeRG (European Network for Research in Geo-Energy) as well as links with the Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants

z WP3 – Dissemination & Awareness

• presentations of latest CCS R&D achievements at suitable local events (professional meetings and workshops with focus on CO2 emissions, climate change, environmental geology, etc.) and to national decision makers (Ministries of Environment, big national CO2 emission producers, national hydrocarbon companies, etc.)

• publications in national technical journals and media• translation of the CO2NET public brochure to national

languages and its publication & dissemination • creation of national websites on CCS (in national

languages)

z CSLFCarbon Sequestration Leadership Forum• International climate change initiative on governmental level

(initiated by the USA, members e.g. EC, Denmark, UK, Germany, France, Greece, Italy…; alltogether 22 members)

• Focused on development of improved cost-effective technologiesfor the separation and capture of carbon dioxide for its transport and long-term safe storage

• The purpose of the CSLF is to make these technologies broadly available internationally; and to identify and address wider issues relating to carbon capture and storage, incl. promoting the appropriate technical, political, and regulatory environments for the development of such technology
