How does the CSLF Work?

Two main groups:1. Policy Group, which conducts the activities of the

CSLF and governs the overall framework and policies of the CSLF,

2. Technical Group, which reviews the progress of collaborative projects and makes recommendations to the Policy Group on any needed actions.

Collaborative projects may be undertaken by the CSLF as authorized by the

Policy Group at the recommendation of the Technical Group.

CSLF Organization

The Capacity Building Task Force for Carbon Capture and Storage in Emerging Economies is part of the POLICY GROUP

CSLF Emerging Economies

Six emerging economies are members of the CSLF. They are either large producers or large consumers, or both of fossil fuels, particularly coal

Widely known projections state that the increase of CO2 emissions, particularly from electric power generation, will be substantial as their economies continue to grow.

Moving Forward Next Workshop scheduled for Capetown, South Africa,

in April 2008 in conjunction with CSLF Annual Meeting Petrobras to host workshop in Salvador, Brazil, in

September 2008 Task Force is planning workshop in conjunction with 9th

International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Technologies (ICGGT-9) in Washington, D.C., in November 2008

Proposed future workshops include:Mexico July 2008India January 2009China April/June 2009Colombia July/December 2009

18

Moving Forward(continued)

● The Chair of the Task Force, with the input of task force members, has developed a 2-year plan, to complement the original task implementation report prepared in August 2005..

Task Force plans to prepare core training modules for capacity building based on materials from initial workshops. materials will be standardized and aimed at

decision-makers from both public and private sectors

19

Moving Forward(continued)

Some issues to consider:1. Overlap of CCS capacity building activities being

conducted by Task Force, APEC, and IEA GHG, EC/UK-China COACH, USDOE/China bilateral and APP, Australia/China APP, Australia/India APP, and others

2. Previous and planned capacity building activities in Australia and east Asia

3. Financing workshops continues to be an issue of concern and Task Force members will keep trying to determine options and available opportunities
