to COP23

COP23, an opportunity NOT to be missed !

The Paris agreement calls for emission pathways consistent with ‘holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C’. 

According to the more recent IPCC Assessment Report, the longer the delay in the deployment of key mitigation technologies such as geological storage of CO2, the more expensive and challenging it will be to maintain global average temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius.

In order to meet the Paris Agreement emissions targets, all available clean energy and mitigation tools will be needed.

Carbon dioxide Capture and geological Storage (CCS) has been recognised by national governments, intergovernmental organisations and major civil society stakeholders as an essential and least-cost pathway to reducing CO2 emissions from the power and industrial sectors, and is flagged as one of the three main climate-change mitigation measures together with increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix and improving energy efficiency.

The majority of scenarios show it would be extremely challenging to deliver sufficient decarbonisation without CCS.

About CO2GeoNet

CO2GeoNet is a pan-European scientific Association, legally registered in France, which joins together 28 partners from 21 European countries, ranging from national geological surveys, through to research institutes and universities, all with a high international profile and critical mass in CO2 geological storage research.

CO2GeoNet is acknowledged as the European scientific authority dealing with all aspects of geological storage of CO2. Through its activities of collaborative research, information and communication, training and scientific advice, CO2GeoNet is durably engaged in enabling the safe and efficient deployment of the CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in order to mitigate climate change and ocean acidification.

CO2GeoNet is contributing, in collaboration with other international organisations, to side-events and a booth at COP23.

Our role in COP23 is to provide clear and impartial scientific knowledge and to engage in discussions with negotiators and the civil society.

Our aim is to communicate on CCS as a proven and safe technology, which is vital for reducing CO2 emissions and completing the climate change mitigation portfolio.
