Capacity building workshop on carbon capture and storage technologies

The Cimate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) provided support to representatives of Ghana and Nigera to participate in a capacity building workshop on carbon capture and storage technologies as part of Nigeria's request for CTCN technical assistance on CO2 storage in marine geological formations.

"We cannot thank CTCN enough for their support. This was indeed an impactful workshop that created momentum and we have been discussing next steps. The seeds sown by CTCN here will undoubtedly bear fruit ", said Katherine Romanak, representative of the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin, a Climate Technology Centre Network member.

The aims of the workshop were to undertake a global needs assessment for offshore geological CO2 storage, to initiate a discussion about the various aspects of offshore transport and storage, and to build an international community of parties interested in offshore storage, a separate session was dedicated to introducing CTCN as well.
