PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 14, 2009 – The major drivers for CCS projects are regulations to reduce carbon emissions from developed countries. Kyoto Protocol, Chicago Climate Change Policy, US DOE’s Carbon emissions monitoring and reporting, US EPA’s Climate Leader’s Program and Global Climate Change Initiatives and US’ Clean Energy and Security Act have driven CCS projects in the US. The EC’s regulations and incentives in the establishment of CCS projects and EU’s Emission Trading Standards have strengthened carbon sequestration in Europe. The Canadian governments’ support to reduce criticism on the highly polluting oil extraction from oil sands has driven CCS projects in this geography. Australia’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) and the country’s ambitious targets to achieve Green House Gas (GHG) emissions reduction by 2020 have resulted in funding of numerous carbon sequestration projects in the geography. China’s coordination to work in conjunction with the EC especially the UK has driven several carbon emission reduction projects.
