The Asia CCUS Network has been successfully launched on 22-23 June 2021 with initially 13 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions that share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region.
The Network members have expressed their intention to participate to share the vision of the Asia CCUS Network that aims to contribute to the decarbonisation of emissions in Asia through collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS.
The Asia CCUS Network provides opportunities for countries in the region to work and collaborate on the low emission technology partnership that will eventually help to build countries’ capability to lower the cost of CCUS technology and its deployment through the collaboration of research and innovation.
At the 2nd Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference, the Asia CCUS Network is very pleased to invite experts from the Department of Energy, United States of America (USDOE) to share their insights and experiences about CCUS development and policy to support the deployment of CCUS technology.
The ACN will be an active forum to bridge the knowledge gap on CCUS technologies, policy development to support the development and deployment of CCUS in Asia. Thus, this conference hosted in collaboration with IEA will help to bring in update knowledge, opportunity for investment in CCUS in Asia.

GASSNOVA HAS A MAJOR AND

SPRU energy seminar Matthew Hannon 1.12.2015 - Lost at Sea? Wave Energy’s Dif...Matthew Hannon
The UK established its first large-scale wave energy innovation programme in 1976 in a bid to develop an alternative domestic supply of energy in light of the oil crisis. As such wave energy became the principal focus for renewable energy public RD&D funding during the late 1970s. However, funding rapidly declined during the 1980s after the programme was discontinued due to a perceived lack of progress and a shift in political support towards nuclear energy. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that wave energy support enjoyed a renaissance with government believing it could play a central role in meeting its climate change and energy security targets, whilst also stimulating economic growth.
Whilst approximately £75m of public and £525m of private sector funds were subsequently invested in ocean energy RD&D between 2000 and 2012 this ultimately failed to deliver a commercially viable wave energy device. This slow progress can in part be attributed to the complexity of the engineering challenge this research explores whether the level and type of support on offer may have been a contributing factor. Drawing upon both qualitative and quantitative analysis this research examines the effectiveness of the UK’s wave energy innovation system and the lessons that have been learnt to help accelerate wave energy technology innovation in the future.
In terms of the level of funding the research finds that ocean energy has at a national and international level received less funding than other renewable energy technologies that have reached commercialisation. In terms of the effectiveness of the funding that was committed the research finds that the innovation support system put in place has exhibited a number of critical weaknesses. These include a pressure to go ‘too big too soon’, poor levels of developer collaboration, intermittent government support and a poorly coordinated funding landscape.
Despite these failures significant ‘policy learning’ has taken place in the UK, triggering a major reconfiguration of its ocean energy innovation system that is considered to have created a stronger innovation system. Positive developments include a refocusing on component vs. device development, treating wave and tidal energy innovation separately and a greater degree of innovation body coordination. Even so a number of recommendations are presented to strengthen the system further still, not least greater coordination between UK and Scottish governments and stronger links between universities and device developers.

Energy Low Emission Development Strategies: A Regional Overview of Latin Am...Worldwatch Institute
Overall, Latin America and the Caribbean has traditionally been a world leader in the use of renewable energy sources for power generation (mainly hydro power), with important sub-regional differences, but the use of fossil fuels grew rapidly in the late 1900s.
There have been many initiatives on renewables and energy efficiency on the part of governments and local organizations, supported by multilateral development banks, UN organizations, international NGOs.
The recent development of non-traditional renewable energies (wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass) is helping meet important development goals (growth, access, affordability) with a lower impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
There are still important challenges related to investment climate and business model financing, but there are many lessons to share, both on what works and what doesn´t work.

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

only if sales decline by
about 25%
• “Beyond Cape Wind”
deployment required …
• To meet stable or
growing load
• To electrify transport:
(~100 MW for 25%)
• To achieve state goal:
“2000 MW by 2020”
Challenge lies both in technology
and in deployment; community
benefits are critical.
