Our mission is to accelerate the deployment and commercial viability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) globally. The Global CCS Institute is the world’s leading authority on carbon capture and storage (CCS) – an international climate change organisation whose mission is to accelerate the deployment of CCS as an imperative technology in tackling climate change and providing energy security. With a team of nearly 50 professionals working with and on behalf of our Members, we drive the adoption of CCS as quickly and cost effectively as possible by sharing expertise, building capacity and providing information, advocacy and advice to ensure this clean technology can play its vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our diverse international membership includes governments, global corporations, private companies, research bodies and non-governmental organisations; all of whom are committed to CCS as an integral part of a clean energy future. We are headquartered in Melbourne, Australia with offices in Washington DC, Brussels, Beijing, Tokyo and Abu Dhabi.
