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.
Korea Carbon Capture & Sequestration R&D Center
KCRC, a CCS R&D institute, is an independent research foundation affiliated with the Ministry of science, ICT andFuture Planning. KCRC develops innovative technologies by carrying out the Korea CCS 2020 project. KCRC plays a pivotal role in forming CCS R&D environment with gathering all CCS research capabilities.
Develop innovative CCS technology
- Secure more than 4 types of 3rd generation core CO2 capture technology
- Demonstrate the first CO2 capture-transport-storage integration system, corresponding to around 10,000 tons of CO2 and develop core technology
- Develop more than 2 innovative technologies for CO2 conversion applicable to large CO2 emitters
Build CCS Infrastructure
- Develop CCS R&D policy & planning / Improve CCS public acceptance
- Promote commercialization of core technologies by technology transfer / Build a strong international network in the CCS field
- Build CO2 capture plant linked to a coal-fired power plant/Evaluate and develop material performance
