The European CCS Demonstration Project Network has organised its 2011 networking and dissemination event on 10 May 2011, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
A chance to learn about the major CCS demonstration projects in Europe
The event featured presentations on project progress, lessons learned and the challenges faced by the 6 large-scale demonstration projects in the CCS Project Network:
| Bełchatów, Poland | Compostilla, Spain | Hatfield, UK |
| Jänschwalde, Germany | Porto Tolle, Italy | ROAD, Netherlands |
Presentation of the first outputs from the knowledge sharing process
A year after it was founded, the CCS Project Network members presented the initial conclusions of its discussions on three key challenges for CCS projects in Europe:
| Permitting | Public engagement | Risk management |
The day's debate provided stakeholders with an opportunity to discuss the main lessons learned and the event informed participants about the work of the CCS Project Network in 2011 and its planned activities and outputs.
European projects in the global context
All participants had a unique opportunity to learn first hand from Europe's leading integrated CCS projects, and were able to place this in an international perspective.
What is being learned by projects outside Europe?
Why is knowledge sharing essentially a global endeavour?
Why is CCS demonstration so important to enabling a low carbon world?
The event was planned such that those participating in the Global CCS Institute member meeting on 9 May could easily join the Network event the next day. In addition, those who participated in either event were kindly invited to join scheduled relevant site visits in the Rotterdam region on the day after the event, on 11 May.
A full agenda is still available here.
