International CCUS Summit

Conference — Edinburg, United States

The Government of the United Kingdom and International Energy Agency will co-host an International CCUS Summit in Edinburgh on 28 November 2018. The Summit will bring together global energy leaders, including Ministers, CEOs of major energy companies and the financial community, to identify practical steps to accelerate investment in CCUS as a critical climate solution. The IPCC recently highlighted the unique importance of CCUS technologies in meeting climate goals and the CCUS Summit will provide an important opportunity to advance these technologies ahead of the COP24 negotiations.
