Short description of project
With the increase in EU member countries to 25, the challenge of reducing CO2 emissions Europe-wide also increases. The Kyoto Protocol obligates the EU to cut CO2 emissions by 8% by 2008-2012 and much deeper reductions will probably be required there after. At the same time energy demand is rising and our reliance on fossil fuels is unlikely to diminish in the near to medium term. As a result of this paradox, the big challenge is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels using CO2 capture and geo logical storage (CCS), a technology capable of making huge cuts in CO2 emissions in the near future. CO2NET EAST is a Co-ordination Action proposed as a mechanism to involve the new EU Member States and Associated Candidate Countries in the current European CCS networking activities, especially in the existing Carbon Dioxide Knowledge Transfer Network (CO2NET). This network was initially set up under the EC FP5 Programme, as the leading European CCS networking forum. CO2NET EAST will contribute to the European CCS networking by: - Providing membership support to new CO2NET member organisations from EU new Member States and Associated Candidate Countries to enable them active participation in Annual Seminars and other networking activities; - (Co-) organising several CO2NET events (seminar, workshops) in new Member and Candidate Countries; - Disseminating knowledge and raising awareness of CO2 capture and storage technologies in new Member and Candidate Countries; - Establishing links among CCS stakeholders in new Member and Candidate Countries and between them and their partners in other EU countries using the existing networks like CO2NET or ENeRG as well as links with the newly established Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants. The project will be built on East-West cooperation, helping the new member states to add to the co-ordination effort to fast track the development and commercialisation of CCS technology for Europe.
