Organized by IFP

3rd International Symposium: "Capture and geological storage of CO2 - Accelerating Deployment"

5-6 November 2009
Paris - Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie

To build on the growing success of the first two international symposia on emission reduction and CO₂ capture and geological storage, held in Paris in 2005 and again in 2007, IFP, ADEME and BRGM are organising a third event on the same topic in November 2009.

This time, the focus will be on the urgency of industrial deployment. Indeed, the IPCC 4th assessment report indicates that the world must achieve a 50 to 85% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2050 compared to 2000, in order to limit the global temperature increase to around 2°C. Moreover, IPCC stresses that a "business as usual" scenario could lead to a temperature increase of between 4°C to 7°C across the planet.

Researchers, manufacturers, economists and financiers from all involved sectors, and public- and private-sector decision-makers who make economic and financial choices in this area, are the targeted audience for this symposium, which takes a global and cross-disciplinary approach.
