The European Green Deal recognises the important role of carbon capture, utilisation and storage as a key technology for industrial decarbonisation. There are currently two operating large-scale CCS facilities in Europe, both in Norway. In this CCS Talks episode we examine the development of what may become Europe's next CCS facilities; the Full-Scale Project in Norway and the Porthos project in the Netherlands. Final investment decision is anticipated for each of these critical projects in the next 12 months. Our guests also discuss the development and key steps leading to the Final Investment Decision and how it these facilities might develop and contribute to decarbonisation more widely. Speakers include: Trude Sundset, CEO, Gassnova - The Full Scale Project in Norway Mark Driessen, Manager, Public Affairs - Port of Rotterdam, Porthos Project Jamie Burrows - Client Engagement Manager, Global CCS Institute A full PDF presentation for this episode can be found on the Institute's Audio & Visual Library page at www.globalccsinstitute.com

CEO of the Global CCS Institute Brad Page recently had an online conversation with Lord Nicholas Stern to discuss climate ambition in the context of economic recovery from COVID-19. Topics included building back better from the COVID-19 global crisis with sustainable recovery packages leading to transformative growth, net-zero commitments and the challenge of continuing the momentum on climate change. Discussions also covered CCS deployment and mechanisms to deliver the rapid change needed to accelerate action on climate change within the recovery.
