The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) is leading a prestigious project coordinated by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The goal of this project is to develop a global technology roadmap for the deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in industrial processes.

The project will draw from the methodologies and experiences of the partners in technology foresight and road-mapping, and provides relevant stakeholders a vision of industrial carbon capture and storage up to 2050. It will have a focus on developing countries with energy intensive industries, and help to inform policymakers and investors about the potential of such technologies.

Heleen de Coninck, leader of the International Energy and Climate group of the unit Policy Studies at ECN, has been appointed as the principal consultant.

The project is jointly funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, and the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute (GCCSI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) and IEA Greenhouse Gas have supporting roles within the project. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
