Networking & Collaboration

Technologies are vital to building climate-resilient, low-carbon societies. Many essential technologies already exist — the challenge is to get them deployed where they are needed, and to build the enabling environments to support technology innovation, adaptation and scale-up. An overwhelming number of developing countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement indicate a requirement for technology support and capacity building in order to achieve their commitments. To meet this need, the CTCN serves as a demand-driven and trusted partner, matching developing countriy needs for climate change-related equipment, methods, capacity development and policy advice with the world-class expertise of its Network and our collaborators. 

The International CCS Knowledge Centre

The international CCS Knowledge Centre ("Knowledge Centre") is a non-profit organization mandated to advance the understanding and use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as means of managing GHG emissions. Based on learnings from the world's first post-combustion CCS facility at SasPower's Boundary Dam coal-fired power plant, and a $20M contribution from BHB Billiton, the Knowledge Centre is able to facilitate project development. Collaboration and partnerships are essential to transfer know-how, reduce costs and break down barriers of CCS deployment; and to build capacity.
