Description
Description
|
The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is a Ministerial-level international climate change initiative that is focused on the development of improved cost-effective technologies for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) for its transport and long-term safe storage. The mission of the CSLF is to facilitate the development and deployment of such technologies via collaborative efforts that address key technical, economic, and environmental obstacles. The CSLF will also promote awareness and champion legal, regulatory, financial, and institutional environments conducive to such technologies.
The CSLF is currently comprised of 23 members, including 22 countries and the European Commission. CSLF member countries represent over 3.5 billion people, or approximately 60% of the world's population.
Unless otherwise determined by the Members, any costs arising from the activities contemplated by the CSLF Charter are to be borne by the Member that incurs them. Each Member's participation in CSLF activities is subject to the availability of funds, personnel, and other resources.
|
Objectives
|
The CSLF Charter, established in 2003, establishes a broad outline for cooperation with the purpose of facilitating development of cost-effective techniques for capture and safe long-term storage of CO2, while making these technologies available internationally.
The CSLF will seek to:
Identify key obstacles to achieving improved technological capacity,
Identify potential areas of multilateral collaborations on carbon separation, capture, transport and storage technologies,
Foster collaborative research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects reflecting Members' priorities,
Identify potential issues relating to the treatment of intellectual property,
Establish guidelines for the collaborations and reporting of their results,
Assess regularly the progress of collaborative R&D projects and make recommendations on the direction of such projects,
Establish and regularly assess an inventory of the potential areas of needed research,
Organize collaboration with all sectors of the international research community, including industry, academia, government and non-government organizations,
The CSLF is also intended to complement ongoing international cooperation in this area,
Develop strategies to address issues of public perception, and
Conduct such other activities to advance achievement of the CSLF's purpose as the Members may determine.
