Substantial effort is being made to accelerate the development and deployment of Carbon Capture and Geological Storage (CCS), particularly in developed countries, with governments focusing on a post-2012 timeframe.

The WCI believes that the information is available now to permit CCS to be included under the CDM. The large body of experience, in both Annex I and non-Annex I countries, gained during the operation of CCS activities and related technologies should provide Parties with the confidence that CCS can be practiced safely and with environmental integrity.
