The Symposium

Capture and geological storage of CO2 - Accelerating Deployment

To build on the growing success of the first two international symposia on emission reduction and CO2 capture and geological storage, held in Paris in 2005 and again in 2007, IFP, ADEME and BRGM organised a third event on the same topic the 5-6 November 2009.

This time, the focus was on the urgency of industrial deployment. Indeed, the IPCC 4th assessment report indicates that the world must achieve a 50 to 85% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 compared to 2000, in order to limit the global temperature increase to around 2°C. Moreover, IPCC stresses that a "business as usual" scenario could lead to a temperature increase of between 4°C to 7°C across the planet.

Researchers, manufacturers, economists and financiers from all involved sectors, and public- and private-sector decision-makers who make economic and financial choices in this area, were the targeted audience for this symposium, which took a global and cross-disciplinary approach.
