CO2GeoNet
contribution
to COP25
The UN Climate Change Conference COP 25 is designed to take the next crucial steps in the UN climate change process.
Following agreement on the implementation guidelines of the Paris Agreement at COP 24 in Poland last year, a key objective is to complete several matters with respect to the full operationalization of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
CO2GeoNet is a pan-European scientific Association, legally registered in France, which joins together 30 partners from 21 European countries, ranging from national geological surveys, through to research institutes and universities, all with a high international profile and critical mass in CO2 geological storage research.
CO2GeoNet is acknowledged as the European scientific authority dealing with all aspects of geological storage of CO2. Through its activities of collaborative research, information and communication, training and scientific advice, CO2GeoNet is durably engaged in enabling the safe and efficient deployment of the CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in order to mitigate climate change and ocean acidification.
CO2GeoNet is contributing, in collaboration with other international organisations, to side-events and a booth at COP25.
Our role in COP25 is to provide clear and impartial scientific knowledge and to engage in discussions with negotiators and civil society.
Our aim is to communicate the vital role for CCS as an effective and ready-to-deploy technology in reducing CO2 emissions and completing the climate change mitigation portfolio.

Theme:
How industry can contribute effectively to the fight against climate change in order to achieve a carbon neutral and weather resilient planet by 2050.
Organisers: PRIMIGEA, COMINROC and CONFEDEM
CO2GeoNet explained how CO2 Capture and Storage can help reduce emission from industry
Theme:
The Sustainable Development Goals promote a just transition to a sustainable future. As long term strategies are implemented to deliver these goals, the need for rapid, large-scale action to both reduce and remove greenhouse gas emissions is becoming increasingly clear.
There are multiple technologies that will enable emission reductions, avoidance and removals, and ensuring their development, selection and implementation at the pace and scale required is now an urgent challenge. This event will examine the importance of effective governance in this context and consider how different sectors can support debate on low carbon pathways; the key role for CO2 Capture and Storage in large scale emission reduction and removal and pathways to low carbon cement and steel in Latin America will be presented. Finally, new insights into potential market and policy mechanisms to scale-up greenhouse gas mitigation strategies and carbon dioxide removal to support sustainable growth will be debated.
Organisers: CO2GeoNet, Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative and ImplementaSur
