The document outlines the agenda and proposed definition for a CCS Ready Workshop held on June 22, 2011. The workshop aimed to introduce participants to the role of CCS Ready policy and discuss best practices for implementing measures to facilitate future CCS projects. The agenda included sessions on what constitutes a CCS Ready plant according to capture, transport and storage criteria, as well as country perspectives from Southeast Asia and an industry view. The proposed definition provided criteria for a plant to be considered capture, transport and storage ready.

1. CCS READY WORKSHOP 2011
AGENDA
TIME WEDNESDAY 22 JUNE 2011
Purpose: The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with an introduction to the role CCS
Ready Policy can play as part of a country’s climate change policy. The workshop will discuss what
CCS Ready is, the range of policy measures and best practices that can be implemented to prompt
the design, permitting and construction of CCS projects when designing or building a new fossil
fuelled energy or industrial plant.
1400 - 1410 Welcome and Introduction
Alice Gibson, Capacity Development Manager - Global CCS Institute
Welcome and outline of the workshop.
1410- 1440 What is CCS Ready?
Alice Gibson, Capacity Development Manager - Global CCS Institute
A discussion on the proposed definition of CCS Ready, as well as an explanation of the necessary regulatory and economic
drivers required to implement CCS Ready.
1440 - 1510 Minimum Requirements and Recommended Practices for Policymakers and Regulators
Ian Havercroft, Senior Adviser, CCS Regulations - Global CCS Institute
An outline of the global status of CCS Ready as well as the steps that can be taken to achieve CCS Ready.
1510 -1530 Alstom: An Industry Perspective on CCS
Gwen Andrews, Vice President, Power and Environmental Policies Asia and Oceania - Alstom
1530 -1600 Afternoon Tea
1600- 1720 CCS Ready in South East Asia - Plenary Session
Moderated by Pradeep Tharakan - Asian Development Bank
Panel discussion on CCS Ready considerations in:
• Indonesia
• Philippines
• Thailand
• Vietnam
ADB to give a short overview presentation, and each country representative to give a 10-15 minute presentation followed by
Panel discussion.
1720- 1730 Thank you and Conclusion
A website has been created for those who wish to seek further information and to review copies of
the presentations.

2. CCS READY WORKSHOP 2011
PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL DEFINITION
A CCS Ready plant is one that is Capture Ready, Transport Ready, and Storage Ready.
CAPTURE READY PLANT
A CO2 Capture Ready plant satisfies all or some of the following criteria:
1. sited such that transport and storage of captured volumes is technically feasible;
2. technically capable of being retrofitted for CO2 capture using one or more reasonable choices of technology
at an acceptable economic cost;
3. adequate space allowance has been made for the future addition of CO2 capture-related equipment, retrofit
construction, and delivery to a CO2 pipeline or other transportation system;
4. all required environmental, safety, and other approvals have been identified;
5. public awareness and engagement activities related to potential future capture facilities have been
performed;
6. pources for equipment, materials, and services for future plant retrofit and capture operations have been
identified; and
7. capture Readiness is maintained or improved over time as documented in reports and records.
TRANSPORT READY PLANT
A CO2 Transport Ready plant satisfies all or some of the following criteria:
1. potential transport methods are technically capable of transporting captured CO2 from the source(s) to
geologic storage ready site(s) at an acceptable economic cost;
2. transport routes are feasible, rights of way can be obtained, and any conflicting surface and subsurface land
uses have been identified and/or resolved;
3. all required environmental, safety, and other approvals for transport have been identified;
4. public awareness and engagement activities related to potential future transportation have been performed;
5. sources for equipment, materials, and services for future transport operations have been identified; and
6. transport Readiness is maintained or improved over time as documented in reports and records.
STORAGE READY PLANT
A CO2 Storage Ready plant satisfies all or some of the following criteria:
1. one or more storage sites have been identified that are technically capable of, and commercially accessible
for, geological storage of full volumes of captured CO2, at an acceptable economic cost;
2. adequate capacity, injectivity, and storage integrity have been shown to exist at the storage site(s);
3. any conflicting surface and subsurface land uses at the storage site(s) have been identified and/or resolved;
4. all required environmental, safety, and other approvals have been identified;
5. public awareness and engagement activities related to potential future storage have been performed;
6. sources for equipment, materials, and services for future injection and storage operations have been
identified; and
7. storage Readiness is maintained or improved over time as documented in reports and records.
Notes:
• ‘Technically feasible’ or ‘technically capable’ means that technologies exist that can be applied to capture, transport and store a significant
portion of the CO2 emitted from the plant, while substantially preserving the original functionality of the plant.
• The phrase ‘all or some of the following criteria’ gives policymakers the flexibility in deciding the components that are most useful for their
jurisdictions. Once requirements are set, the project developers will have to meet all relevant requirements.
