The CCSA is delighted to host a Member Showcase with GE Vernova on Tuesday 26th September 2023.
These member only online events feature presentations by members and offer the opportunity for members to showcase their company and activities to the wider CCSA membership, as well as providing a forum for networking.
The CCSA’s annual flagship conference “CCUS 2023 Conference: Springboard to Net Zero” takes place on the 17th – 18th October at Central Hall Westminster in London.
The 2023 conference takes place in a critical year for CCUS. The UK has recently made key announcements regarding the next steps for CCUS deployment – including £20bn of funding and confirmation of the first eight carbon capture projects to be built. The EU’s Net Zero Industry Act and the US’s Inflation Reduction Act are also having a significant impact on the deployment of CCUS in those regions.
The focus this year will be on the way forward for CCUS and the pivotal role it will need to play as we journey towards net zero. The conference will cover a wide variety of topics such as; CCUS business models, market frameworks, CCUS supply chains, carbon removals, capture and storage permitting, CCS-enabled hydrogen, networks and developments in regions such as Denmark, Germany, United States, Asia and the Middle East.

Tickets can be purchased here.
Discounted tickets are available for CCSA members. Please contact events@ccsassociation.org to request the booking code.

The CCSA is delighted to host a Member Discussion Forum with GE Vernova on Thursday 28th September.
The forum will focus on the US Inflation Reduction Act and what it means for the CCUS industry, with perspectives on how the tax incentives have mobilised carbon capture in the US, and the response from the EU and the UK.
We will be joined by the following speakers:

Organised by the Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain.
In many ways the CCS world with its wells, reservoirs and sealing cap-rocks will be familiar to GESGB members. However, in other ways it will be quite different. The twin necessities of driving costs down and ensuring long-term public safety will demand collaboration and openness like never before.
Following the success of the first symposium last year, in response to demand from the GESGB membership, we have scheduled this one-day symposium on the geoscience aspects of geological CO2 storage. The conveners are soliciting oral presentations from industry experts to meet the goal of offering deep technical insights into G&G topics pertinent to CCS.
If you are a petroleum-geoscientist considering ‘what next’ in a changing world, this event is designed for you. CCS is essential in meeting the worlds Net Zero targets. The anticipated exponential growth of CCS projects worldwide will need a major effort to re-purpose skills from the oil and natural gas industry.
REGISTRATION OPENING: FRIDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2023

Organised by The Association for Decentralised Energy.
The theme for our 2023 conference is the Great British Energy Debates. Join us as we bring together expert presenters and panellists to share their views on the hottest energy topics of our time.
As a General Election approaches, we’ll debate the role politics will play in the future of our sectors going forward. What can we expect from a new Government, of whichever colour, and how far does major policy across decentralised energy now have a momentum all of its own? We will also debate the importance of nearer term targets and their impetus for change – whether that be the 2035 target to fully decarbonise the electricity system or the upcoming, and at risk, 6th Carbon Budget.
We’ll also look at the important innovations we’ve seen in response to the crisis and that continue to push our sector forward – often beyond what the consensus considered was possible. As we begin to regulate the heat and flexibility sectors and existing energy regulation comes under ever greater scrutiny, how do we find a new balance and can regulation in some circumstances support greater innovation?
And finally, it will look at some of the big questions the energy crisis has left us with and that will become even more pressing as we get deeper into the transition – including how much should we pay as a country to avoid blackouts and how much should we be prepared to risk to avoid a gold-plated, unaffordable system?

Please find the webinar recording here, and the presentation slides below.
What does the commercial framework look like for Industrial Carbon Capture? Meet some of the LCCC CCUS and Hydrogen team as we take a deep dive into the Industrial Carbon Capture business model. The webinar will focus on the main contractual provisions that uses the stability of the successful existing CfD scheme as its template and will explore the similarities such as conditions precedents, protections and milestone requirements, with a little extra detail on nuanced provisions covering payment mechanics, reporting and T&S Network availability.
A recording of the session can be viewed here, and the slides are available below.
The CCSA was delighted to host a Member Discussion Forum with Slaughter and May on Thursday 15th June 2023.
The forum focused on the recent CCUS announcements from Government (phase 2, Track 1 expansion and next steps for Track 2) and looked ahead beyond Track 2 and the necessary roll-out of CCUS to meet the Government’s CCUS and net zero targets.
We were joined by the following speakers:
