Type of actor: research institute
Who are they ?
The Global CCS Institute works collaboratively to build and share the expertise necessary to ensure that CCS can make a significant impact towards reducing the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Announced by the Australian Government in September 2008, the Global CCS Institute was formally launched in April 2009.
What is their position ?
The acceptance of CCS projects as eligible offsetting activities under the CDM is a critically important step in the financing of projects in developing countries. CCS can be readily accommodated within the CDM on the basis of already established technical and scientific data and analysis, methods and expert advice. Many issues can be addressed over the short term; and managed through either a policy-oriented approach (best practice guidelines contained in the modalities and procedures) or within a host country’s legal arrangements.
