Prospects and Challenges for Carbon Capture and Storage<br />
Acknowledgements<br />
This paper is the first <strong>IEA</strong> analysis that focuses on country‐specific trends, opportunities and<br />
challenges for carbon capture and storage (CCS). It follows previous <strong>IEA</strong> publications on CCS and<br />
studies of cleaner coal and advanced coal technologies. The paper benefitted from significant<br />
contributions and support from the China <strong>Coal</strong> Information Institute (CCII) of the State<br />
Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) and The Climate Group China.<br />
In October 2010, the <strong>IEA</strong>, CCII and The Climate Group China jointly organised a meeting in Beijing<br />
to identify the status of CCS technology development in China and explore stakeholder views on<br />
CCS development and future options for CCS deployment. Based on that workshop and follow‐up<br />
interviews and dialogue with key stakeholders in China, the <strong>IEA</strong> developed this information paper<br />
with input and collaboration from CCII, The Climate Group China and several independent<br />
reviewers. The process and consultation for the report included interviews, questionnaires,<br />
desktop research and a review of information from authorities, publications and conference<br />
materials. Questionnaires were distributed to government, research institutions, enterprise and<br />
international organisations. Both questionnaires and interviews asked about stakeholder<br />
viewpoints and attitudes towards CCS; current issues and understanding of CCS technology,<br />
technical feasibility and R&D initiatives; options for financing and commercialisation of CCS<br />
technologies; and related policy and regulatory considerations.<br />
The <strong>IEA</strong> thanks its collaborator, the China <strong>Coal</strong> Information Institute, under the leadership of<br />
President Huang Shengchu, for the considerable input that CCII staff provided for this report. CCII<br />
staff members Liu Wenge and Sun Xin managed this collaboration, with the capable assistance of<br />
Han Jiaye, Wu Jinyan, Zhao Yingchun and Zhang Yan. Wu Changhua and Lorraine Yin from The<br />
Climate Group China also provided important input and collaboration on this project. Consultants<br />
Pamela Tomski and Craig Hart contributed to the sections on financing options for CCS in China.<br />
Dr. Peng Sizhen, Administrative Center for China’s Agenda 21, Dr. Andrew Minchener, Clean <strong>Coal</strong><br />
Centre, Dr. Lei Zhu, Center for Energy and Environmental Policy, Chinese Academy of Sciences<br />
also provided expert review and comment on this work.<br />
The authors would also like to thank <strong>IEA</strong> contributors Bo Diczfalusy, Director of the Sustainable<br />
Energy Policy Directorate, Ulrich Benterbusch, Head of the Office of Global Energy Policy and<br />

their guidance. <strong>IEA</strong> staff, Keith Burnard, Dennis Volk, and Julian Smith provided valuable<br />
comments, information and suggestions in the development of this paper. Julie Jiang, Tom Kerr,<br />
