With the increasing world reliance on use of fossil fuels to meet energy demand, emissions are forecasted to reach levels that are unsustainable. The IEA World Energy Outlook forecasts under its reference scenario that emissions will be increased by more than 55 % in 2030 compared to today’s levels. CO2 capture and geological storage is a major CO2 abatement option, with a potential to provide 20% of the total reduction needed to stay at the IPCC stabilisation levels. The oil and gas industry provides the leading source of expertise for subsurface injection of CO2, for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery or long-term storage.
This forum addresses the challenges related to the potential development of a CO2 capture and storage activity that would be several orders of magnitude larger than the current demonstration projects.
