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.
