Discussion: Areas of cooperation in Point Source Capture. Facilitators: Åse Slagtern and Ron Munson

The discussion included:

·      The need to accelerate implementation of CCS.

  • Increase focus on capture from industrial CO2 sources and dispatchable power in combination with renewables.

  • Facilitate cooperation and share knowledge, e.g. through publishing, without revealing IPR, share success stories  and consider datasharing on capture.

  • Explore opportunities to align operating procedures and analytical methods across testing centers to facilitate apples-to-apples comparisons.

  • Look for knowledge and experience where it is. For example, there may be much to learn from UK and why projects have not reached FID.

  • Identify what communication is needed towards the general public and other stakeholders and elucidate the necessity of CCS.

  • Incorporate feedback from communities and other stakeholders in guiding future activities to promote commercial liftoff.

  • Showcase the successes while avoiding the fossil connection.

  • Be patient. The road from lab-scale to full scale commercial is long and expensive. Go stepwise
