EU-China Co-operation on Near Zero Emissions Coal: Phase I results and next steps
Date: 28-29 October 2009
The EU-China Near Zero Emissions Coal (NZEC) project is an important initiative under the EU-China Partnership on Climate Change with the aim “to develop and demonstrate in China and the EU advanced, near-zero emissions coal technology through carbon capture and storage”.
The agreement was followed by two substantial projects on CCS options and CCS capacity building in China, funded by the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (UK-China NZEC Initiative) and the European Commission Cooperation Action within CCS China-EU (COACH). The regulatory aspects of CCS have also been considered by another project funded by the European Commission under the name of Support to Regulatory Activities for Carbon Capture and Storage (STRACO2).
These projects have now reached their conclusion, and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, the European Commission, and the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change would accordingly like to invite you to a two-day conference in Beijing on 28-29 October 2009 to hear about and discuss their findings. The conference will additionally explore, on its second day, plans and expectations for the next phases of NZEC, the design, site selection, and construction of a CCS demonstration plant in China.
Participation is free of charge, but the conference is only open to invited persons or representatives of the same organisation. The organisers reserve the right to turn down registrations should there be capacity constraints (max 250 participants).
