Carbon capture and storage projects gaining ground
ABU DHABI: Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, UAE special envoy for energy and climate change and chief executive officer of Masdar, on Wednesday outlined a robust set of modalities and procedures that will explicitly indicate how carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects can be incorporated under the existing rules of the clean development mechanism (CDM).In his opening remarks at the two-day "Workshop on Modalities and Procedures for CCS under the CDM" in Abu Dhabi, Al-Jaber said such procedures will significantly drive global standards and ensure better CCS projects.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) workshop is being hosted by Abu Dhabi and co-funded by Norway and the UAE.
Al-Jaber said: "We understand and accept that the CDM is only part of how we can make CCS work because it can help close financing gaps, assist in the transfer of CCS technologies and know-how, improve buy-in from domestic stakeholders and provide a set of broadly accepted standards to ensure high quality projects."
The two-day UNFCCC workshop on CCS in Abu Dhabi will recommend measures that aim to bring clarity about the role of CCS technologies in CDM at the UN-led climate negotiations (COP-17) by the end of this year in Durban, South Africa.
The Abu Dhabi workshop follows the 34th sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) that were held from June 6-16 in Bonn, Germany.
