CSLF and CCS Capacity Building in developing countries Addressing the financial gap Bernard Frois CSLF, Chair of the Financing Issues Task force Director, CEA, France 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 1
CSLF is an international climate initiative The actions of the CSLF are focused on the development of improved cost-effective technologies for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) for its transport and long-term safe storage. One of the most successful initiatives of the CSLF is to analyze in depth the situation worldwide and identify priorities on the most urgent actions to be implemented for using CCS to mitigate global warming. 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 2
CSLF Goals The CSLF advances technological capacity through collaborative efforts to address key technical, economic, and environmental obstacles to CCS development and deployment. The CSLF will champion CCS capacity building efforts in developing countries, and advance the financial and technical roadmaps necessary for worldwide CCS deployment. By the year 2020, collaborative projects will be underway in many regions of the world, demonstrating the safety and costeffectiveness of CCS. 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 3

CSLF Achievements (1) Accelerated the creation of a global legal and regulatory framework for CCS. Implemented a vigorous capacity building program that is bringing important information on CCS technologies to scientists, engineers, and researchers in emerging economy countries. Identified key R&D needs and technology gaps in the areas of CO 2 capture and transport, and measurement monitoring and verification of storage (MMV). Developed recommendations for technology risk assessment standards and procedures 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 8
CSLF Achievements (2) Developed a technology roadmap that will provide a pathway toward commercial deployment of integrated CCS technologies. Facilitated international cooperation on 20 diverse projects that demonstrate many CCS technologies and serve as a model for further international cooperation. In response to a request from the G8 and working with the IEA, developed recommendations that now form the basis for global activities that will make CCS commercial and broadly available internationally by 2020. 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 9
CSLF Financial issues Major CCS projects around the world are ready to go. The G8 has welcomed the recommendations proposed by CSLF and IEA to build 20 demonstration projects in the next 10 years. Financing these projects require to solve the following issues Long term liability. Risks Public acceptance Capacity building in Developing Countries 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 10
CSLF Capacity Building Activities Capacity Building is a Key Activity of the CSLF In 2007 and 2008 the CSLF held six workshops on capacity building in emerging economy countries, where information on various CCS technologies was presented by experts in those fields. A total of about 600 scientists, engineers, and policy makers attended these workshops. The CSLF will launch a major new Capacity Building initiative which will assist its Members to implement CCS demonstrations, at the upcoming 3 rd CSLF Ministerial Conference in London next month. 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 11
CSLF Financing CCS Task Force A new CSLF Task Force on Financing CCS was created in June 2009, with France as Chair. Initially, the Task Force was tasked with investigating incentives and investments for CCS in both developing and developed countries. Task Force is currently working with Asian Development Bank (ADB) on a report that will analyze key policy issues and barriers to CCS in developing countries. A Framework of Risks and Rewards for Commercial Deployment of Projects with CCS is in preparation. 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 12
Conclusions Capacity building in developing countries is one of the major goals of the CSLF. Significant progress has already been achieved by the Capacity Building Task Force in particular with Brazil, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. The CSLF welcomes the initiative of the World Bank. This meeting is important to understand how we can join forces in the best way possible. The CSLF Financing CCS Task Force is now working on key policy issues and barriers to CCS. This work is expected to be presented at the Ministerial meeting in London 11-14 October. 12 September 2009 Washington, World Bank Meeting on CCS 13
