Publication Overview

The aims of the workshop were to undertake a global needs assessment for offshore geological CO₂ storage, to initiate a discussion about the various aspects of offshore transport and storage, and to build an international community of parties interested in offshore storage. This was achieved by bringing together those who are doing offshore CCS to share knowledge with those who are interested in doing, and by facilitating countries to identify their specific issues, challenges, opportunities, and then to identify synergies, common gaps and goals, and define common action items.

Publication Summary

The goal of this workshop was to facilitate a global needs assessment for offshore geological CO₂ storage. To achieve this, the specific objectives were to initiate a discussion about the various aspects of offshore transport and storage, and to build an international community of parties interested in offshore storage. This process would facilitate countries to identify their specific issues, challenges, opportunities, etc. The overall exercise was intended to identify synergies, common gaps and goals, and define common action items. There was a pre-workshop activity of a survey of status and needs assessment survey for each country.

CO2 Transport and Storage Cost Review

  • 9 October 2025
  • Costs of CCUS
  • Storage
  • Transport

The objective of the study was to review publicly available information on CO2 transport and storage (T&S) costs, to provide insights into how typical cost estimates are built up and to inform on areas of risk. Current information on T&S costs and the need for new or improved data would be explored.
