IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme

IEAGHG funds research into the development and deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies

Facilitating technology advancements, addressing barriers, and enabling deployment. Our work focuses on technologies that can reduce our carbon emissions, and mitigate climate change and global warming. We are a not for profit organisation, and all of our work is subject to peer review ensuring that it remains impartial and unbiased.

Date: 3 December, 11:30-13:00

Location: COP28 Blue Zone SE1 room 175

Organisers: University of Texas, IEAGHG, Bellona, CCSA, International CCS Knowledge Centre.

 

Theme: CO2 creation is unavoidable in the cement production process. However, “CCS is less mature in cement production, where it is a critical mitigation option” (IPCC SYR 2023). Can the CCS developments in developed economies mature the technology to help the cement sector in developing economies?
