This new publication presents the low carbon development path for Asia and the Pacific. It shows that  this region must overcome several challenges to secure the growing energy requirements needed to maintain strong development trend while at the same time pursue a low carbon development path.

This is a review paper intended to provide an overview of debates relating to BECCS or bio-CCS, which are alternative terms for the coupling of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (CCS).

The Obama administration is proposing new rules to protect drinking water and track the amount of carbon dioxide stored by so-called

This report aims to provide a technological, economic and policy underpinning for the development of a global technology roadmap for CCS in industry. The roadmap will build on the IEA roadmap
on CCS that has already outlined a set of actions and milestones for CCS in the power sector and for industry as a whole. It will also build on the IEA global technology roadmap for the cement industry .

This publication, the IEA Carbon Capture and Storage Model Regulatory Framework (Model Framework), seeks to deal with the reality that such rapid expansion and scale-up of CCS technology raises a number of regulatory issues that need to be addressed in parallel with ongoing efforts to demonstrate the technical, safety and environmental viability of industrial scale CCS projects.

The Norwegian government has offered Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) a stake in a $1-billion carbon capture storage project at Statoil

The International Energy Agency (IEA) considers carbon capture and storage (CCS) a crucial part of worldwide efforts to limit global warming by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. The IEA has
estimated that the broad deployment of low-carbon energy technologies could reduce projected 2050 emissions to half 2005 levels

This paper presents methodologies for using social cost of carbon estimates to address the value of temporarily stored carbon and the implications of that value in the context of biological offsets and
life-cycle analyses of the GHG content of biofuels.

Innovative carbon-trapping technology might barely get past the testing phase in Europe after the economic crisis and a shift to green power destroys incentives, a new study warns.

Massive European investment in renewable energy will reduce demand for carbon emissions permits in 2020, dragging down their price and undermining investment in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), says the report "EU E

Nobuo TanakaPromoting energy-efficient technologies to reach the Blue Map scenario of 50 per cent reduction from 2005 energy-related emission levels by 2050 is the aim of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, a non-government organisation advising 28 member-countries.
