IEA International CCS Regulatory Network
The International CCS Regulatory Network (Network) provides a neutral forum for CCS regulators, policy makers and stakeholders to discuss and share updates and views on CCS regulatory developments. The Network engages across multiple platforms including: annual face-to-face meetings; quarterly web-based seminars and ad-hoc meetings on specific CCS regulatory issues; and through e-mail updates.
With a membership of over 1,400 people, the Network engages regulators and others interested in CCS legal and regulatory activities from 50 countries around the world, including over 20 developing countries.
Launched in 2008 in Paris, the Network operates with the ongoing support of the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme Implementing Agreement and University College London’s Carbon Capture Legal Programme.
