The document discusses the global status of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. It states that CCS is already contributing to reduced emissions but that progress must be accelerated. There are currently 8 large-scale CCS projects operating and 8 under construction. Steady progress is being made but important developments are still needed to overcome barriers and reduce costs. Collaboration and knowledge sharing are essential to accelerating the widespread adoption of CCS.

2. ABOUT THE GLOBAL CCS INSTITUTE
 Accelerates the adoption of CCS, a key solution in
mitigating climate change and providing energy security.
 Advocates for CCS as one of the options required to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from power generation and
industrial sources.
 Shares information from its international Membership, while
building capacity to ensure that CCS can become a widely-
used technology as quickly as possible.
 Brings together projects, policy-makers and researchers to
overcome the challenges facing CCS, ensuring a smooth
and rapid roll-out of this vital technology.

[ COLLABORATION AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING
 CCS faces difficult and time-consuming
challenges.
 Sharing knowledge gained is critical to
accelerating the deployment of CCS.
 Collaboration and effort is required to
increase the intensity and scope of
knowledge sharing activities.

20. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MENA REGION??
• The Middle East has some of the highest per capita
emissions of CO2 in the world.
• The region has a number of natural advantages
including excellent storage potential and many
opportunities for EOR.
• Most work has been progressed in the UAE, Saudi
Arabia, & Qatar.
• In North Africa the In Salah project, operational since
2004, injected around 1 million tonnes/year of
carbon dioxide and plays an important role in the
research and development of storage monitoring
techniques.

21. UAE PROJECTS
Abu Dhabi CCS project is designed to capture about 6MtCO2/yr:
• Taweelah Power Co (TAPCO): Post-combustion retrofit to extract
CO2 from an IWPP project with a capacity of 2,000MW of power
and 160 MIGD of desalinated water. Estimated CO2 capture of
approx 1.2m tonnes a year.
• Emirates Steel Industries (ESI): Capture of process CO2 from a
dehydration and compression unit. Expected capture of approx
0.8m tonnes a year of CO2.
• Emirates Aluminium (EMAL): Capture of process CO2 from an
aluminium smelter. Expected capture of approx 2.5m tonnes a
year of CO2.
• Habshan: Collection of CO2 from an industrial scale gas
separation plant. Expected capture of approx 0.6m tonnes a year
of CO2.

22. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DECISION MAKERS
 Climate change legislation must not be
delayed.
 In order to achieve emission reductions in the
most efficient and effective way CCS must
not be disadvantaged.
 Funding for CCS demonstration projects
should be accelerated.
 Expertise and learning must be shared.
