2. The 2°C targets matter
 ‘Business as usual’ leads to an unacceptable rise in average
global temperature.
“A 4°C world is so different from the current one that it comes
with high uncertainty and new risks that threaten our ability to
anticipate and plan for future adaptation needs.”
World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, November 2012

 CCS has a vital role to play in achieving CO2 emission targets
“We now need to shift to a higher gear in developing CCS into a
true energy option, to be deployed at large scale. It is not
enough to only see CCS in long term energy scenarios as a
solution that happens some time in the distant future. Instead we
must get to its true development right here and now .”
Maria van der Hoeven Executive Director IEA
Foreword to IEA CCS Technology Roadmap 2013

5. CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to
explain and the language
is a nightmare!
There is a real lack of
champions

6. CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to
explain and the language
is a nightmare!
There is a real lack of
champions
There is just nothing
visually interesting
about it!

7. CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to
explain and the language
is a nightmare!
It’s way too
expensive!
It’s only experimental
technology
There is a real lack of
champions
There is just nothing
visually interesting
about it!

8. CCS communication – common complaints
It’s so complicated to
explain and the language
is a nightmare!
There is such a lack of
understanding:
energy/ climate
change/ geoscience
It’s way too
expensive!
It’s only experimental
technology
There is a real lack of
champions
There is just nothing
visually interesting
about it!

22. How does CO2 stay in the rock?
The CO2 trap...
Above the porous/ permeable
rock, there is non-porous rock
that seals in the CO2
We call this CAP ROCK.
CO2 is pumped into the tiny
holes in POROUS, PERMEABLE
rocks.
