It is becoming clear that carbon capture and storage will have a central role to play in securing the mid-century target of'net-zero'carbon dioxide emissions which is the aspiration of many nations.To underline this point,on the 24th September 2020,Dr.Fatih Birol,Executive Director of the International Energy Agency(IEA)said,"Carbon capture is critical for ensuring our transitions to clean energy are secure and sustainable."Hydrogen has recently received worldwide recognition that it will be essential for the decarbonisation required to combat climate change that has resulted from greenhouse gas emissions.We will soon see a similarly high level of recognition for the complimentary role that carbon capture and storage(CCS)can play.There are 26 operating CCS schemes worldwide.Many are related to enhanced oil recovery in the US and Canada.Several more exist in Europe and the Asia-Pacific(APAC)region.In the next decade,this number is likely to increase ten-fold to become 300 schemes,or more.
