The CO2 Capture Project (CCP) has briefed ministers on crucial progress that has been made in addressing some of the remaining technical issues for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

The CCP presented breakthrough findings, gained from the last five years of its research, at the third Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), where it received a CSLF Recognition Award for its overall work.

The studies undertaken by the CCP confirm that the safe, long-term geological storage of CO2 is achievable.

The CCP's findings, from the second phase of its work, are set out in a book, 'Advances in CO2 Capture and Storage Technology', that is part of a series entitled 'CO2 Capture for Storage in Deep Geologic Formations.

About 10 technologies, covering the whole range of techniques (post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxy-fuel), and applicable to varied point sources, were developed from concept and are being evaluated for potential demonstration:.
