Comparison of Current Global Status of CCS Projects and a Proposed Ideal Portfolio of Capture, Transport and Storage Options

Source: GCCSI & LEK Consulting (2009) "An Ideal Portfolio of CCS Projects and Rationale for Supporting Projects"

The GCCSI recently outlined the ideal capture, transport and storage options for a global portfolio of CCS projects to cover across all regions. It compared these options to 273 CCS projects currently planned or operating around the world in order to identify the key areas and regions in which development and deployment still needs to take place. While planned deployment of the required options is strong in Europe and North America, the GCCSI found that other regions and industries still require a number of areas to be covered.
