The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) has undertaken an assessment of the learning that is being provided by operational, large-scale, pilot, demonstration and commercial CCS projects around the world. This was undertaken by questionnaire and analysis of the responses.
From the analysis of the responses, key themes, learning points and areas for beneficial collaboration are identified. The extent of coverage of projects is summarised in terms of geological properties and monitoring techniques.
From this initial analysis, a number of key learning areas have been identified that also warrant further investigation. These include:
