Recent Activities of the Technical Group of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF)

The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is an international climate change initiative at ministerial level, with the mission to advise ministers and other decision makers on the acceleration of deployment of CO2 capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). To this end, CSLF’s Technical Group issues a Technology Roadmap every three – four years. The roadmap receives input from two other major activities of the Technical Group, reports on selected issues, prepared by Task Forces; and cooperation with CCUS projects that are recognized by the CSLF, as well as from the CSLF delegates and external experts. Its representation of 80% of global CO2 emissions along with its high political backing and legitimacy, makes CSLF an excellent and unique avenue for the promotion of CCUS related issues with the aim to accelerate deployment. The paper describes the work mode of the CSLF Technical Group and its latest activities and achievements of its three major activities.
