The Global CCS Institute is a leading authority on carbon capture and storage (CCS), an international climate change organization that aims to accelerate the deployment of CCS as a technology to tackle climate change and provide energy security. The Institute's 2018 Global Status of CCS Report documents the status of CCS worldwide and significant operational milestones over the past 12 months. The report demystifies common misunderstandings about the technology and identifies where and how it can be more widely deployed. It also tracks the worldwide progress of CCS technologies and the key opportunities and challenges they face. The report is an invaluable resource for governments, policymakers, scientists, academics, media commentators, and those who care about the climate and want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
