Call for Awards

  • Carbon Capture Outstanding Achievement Award
  • Carbon Capture Future Leader Award
  • Carbon Capture Future Star Award

CCS has the potential to reduce overall mitigation costs and increase flexibility in achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions. The widespread application of CCS would depend on technical maturity, costs, overall potential, diffusion and transfer of the technology to developing countries and their capacity to apply the technology, regulatory aspects, environmental issues and public perception .
