EPU, Alm.del - 2008-09 - Bilag 393: Henvendelse af 3/9-09 fra ZERO Emission Resource Organisation om invitation til NGO-seminar: "Carbon capture and storage in Denmark and the North Sea area" den 22/10-09

Carbon capture and storage in Denmarkand the North Sea areaSeminar, Copenhagen 22nd of OctoberThere are many full scale CO2 capture and storage (CCS) projects planned in the North Sea area with stor-age possibilities both onshore and below the North Sea. The political and public knowledge and debate isvery different in the North Sea countries. There is a general need for more information and knowledge aboutCCS, both among policymakers, organisations and the public.ZERO therefore invites NGOs and other participants from the North Sea countries to an open seminar toaddress CCS in Denmark and the North Sea area, as well as the role of CCS in the international climatenegotiations. Questions to be addressed through the presentations and discussion at this seminar include:•••••••What CCS technologies are available today?What is the role of CCS in combating climate change?How can we get good political framework for phasing out large emission sources?What is the potential for CO2 storage in Denmark and the North Sea, and what are the mainissues concerning storage safety?What is the latest status for CCS in the different countries surrounding the North Sea, and is therea need for more cooperation for common North Sea CCS policies and projects?Are we headed towards a sufficiently good new climate agreement? Will a new agreement ensureimplementation of necessary technologies to meet the climate change challenge?How can we ensure that CCS knowledge is shared by the different groups of stakeholders?

Zero Emission Resource Organization (ZERO) is an environmental organisation fully dedicated to the issueof climate change by actively demonstrating and gaining acceptance for zero emission solutions. We believea zero emission solution exists for all energy use. Our mission is to work consistently for these solutionsusing our technical and political knowledge. Read more on our website www.ZERO.no
