Leading the global deployment

of CCS technologies and addressingthe challenges of climate change

CCS Week PartnersThe Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (the Department) is responsible for developing and maintaining policies and programs for the resources, energy and tourism industries. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key priority of the Department and the Department represents the Australian Government in a wide variety of relevant international and domestic forums. In Australia the Department supports CCS research, both pilot scale and commercial scale CCS demonstration projects and is managing the development of Australia’s offshore CO2 storage resources.

The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) is the Australian Government’s trade and investment development agency. Through our global network of offices Austrade provides the local knowledge and insight you need to locate and develop Australian trade and investment opportunities. In the carbon capture and storage sector Austrade can provide information on Australia’s investment environment and CCS regulatory regime and identify potential CCS investment projects and research partners in Australia, just to name a few.

Victoria’s Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is responsible for agriculture, fisheries, earth resources, energy and forestry. Importantly, DPI develops programs to assist the primary and energy industries to increase their productivity, competitiveness and sustainability. It provides industry with the tools and incentives to adapt to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Victorian Government currently supports CCS projects both offshore and onshore, and also provides funding for new large-scale, pre-commercial CCS demonstration projects

The Global CCS Institute works collaboratively with organisations and governments to accelerate the broad deployment of commercial CCS, ensuring that the technology plays a role in responding to the world’s need for a low carbon energy future. The Institute also plays an important role in implementing various strategies to ensure that CCS technology moves beyond the demonstration phase to broader commercial deployment.

The Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) is one of the world’s leading collaborative research organisations focused on carbon capture and storage. CO2CRC researches the full range of CCS technologies, from capture, transport and storage to economics, risk assessment and demonstration. CO2CRC operates three major CCS demonstration projects, including the Otway Project, Australia’s first CO2 storage facitlity.

The Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is Australia’s national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research organisations in the world. With significant activities underway in carbon capture and storage, in both the underpinning science of CCS and working with Australian and international industry on demonstration projects.

The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEAGHG) is an international collaborative research programme established in 1991 as an Implementing Agreement under the International Energy Agency (IEA). IEAGHG studies and evaluates technologies that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions derived from the use of fossil fuels. The Programme aims to provide its members with definitive information on the role that technology can take in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. IEAGHG takes pride in being an informed but unbiased source of technical information on greenhouse gas mitigation.

The primary role of the Australian Coal Association (ACA) is to drive the development and employment of low emission coal technology including carbon capture and storage, through our management of the COAL21 Fund. The coal industry, the ACA and its members are also active participants in a number of national and international programs related to greenhouse issues and technology development.

The Minerals Council of Australia is the peak industry organisation representing Australia’s exploration, mining and minerals processing industry, nationally and internationally, in its contribution to sustainable development and society. The MCA recognises that the future of the Australian minerals industry is inseparable from the global pursuit of sustainable development. Through the integration of economic progress, responsible social development and effective environmental management, the industry is committed to contributing to the sustained growth and prosperity of current and future generations.

Brown Coal Innovation Australia (BCIA) is an independent, not-for-profit company with a mandate to co-invest with stakeholders in brown coal innovation and emissions reduction technologies.

Through proactive investment in research and development and a strong focus on skills-development, BCIA is advancing innovation that broadens the use of Australia’s world-class brown coal resource for a sustainable future.

Strategic management of BCIA’s innovation support provides for multi-million dollar investment in key activities in the brown coal value-chain, spanning from mine-mouth to the capture of greenhouse emissions.

Supported by nine key Australian CCS stakeholders, the conference provides excellent opportunities to grapple with the big issues for CCS, as well as the opportunity to attend National CCS Week events such as project tours in the days following.

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne for what I am sure will be a fantastic inaugural National CCS Conference.

Dr Peter Cook

Chair National CCS Conference

Invitation to attendThe development of carbon capture and storage technology is now recognized by governments and industry around the world as an essential part of the portfolio of low emission energy technologies required to tackle climate change.

Australia is in the forefront of making carbon capture and storage a reality – moving CCS projects to commercial viability through research, enabling legislation and support from government and industry.

As part of this important process, I am pleased to be able to invite you to the inaugural National CCS Conference - a major opportunity to be informed, to debate and to connect with Australian and international stakeholders involved in the field of carbon capture and storage.

Held Sunday to Tuesday, 28-30 November 2010 at the Park Hyatt Melbourne, the conference is also the first event of National CCS Week, a week of activities providing a focus for CCS.

Speakers from Australia and overseas will share their insights and expertise about CCS research and the pathway to commercialisation to make this conference a significant international event. Discussions will focus on the challenges we face in areas such as technology, economics, communication, finance and regulation.

Host city

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA

With regular medal-winning appearances in the Economist’s Most Liveable Cities list (taking the top award three times since 2002), Melbourne has a right to be boastful. But despite its temperate climate, safe streets, cosmopolitan lifestyle and beautiful setting, locals remain low-key about their city.

There is no shortage of things to do in Melbourne’s city centre. You can wander through art galleries, tour historic sites along the ‘Golden Mile Heritage Trail’, experience the living Australian Forest and indigenous display at the Melbourne Museum or maybe take a leisurely cruise along the Yarra River past Southgate, the Docklands and the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre.

Recognised as the ‘food capital’ of Australia, Melbourne is also renowned for its fabulous shopping. Melbourne attractions include designer stores in the city; the exclusive boutiques of Chapel Street; and bargain-hunting in the buzzing atmosphere of the Queen Victoria Market. And when wandering in the city, peer down almost any laneway and catch a glimpse of the ‘secret Melbourne’ – a place of edgy art, hidden bars and cutting-edge design.
