International Network on Biofixation of CO2 and Greenhouse Gas Abatement with Microalgae

The purpose of the Microalgae Biofixation Network is to provide a forum for organisations already engaged or interested in research and development (R&D) of greenhouse gas abatement technologies using microalgae.

International Network for CO2 Capture

IEA GHG has developed the CO2 Capture Network to act as a forum for, and promote the work of, those involved in CO2 capture test facilities.

Monitoring Network

Established on 8th November 2004, the first meeting of the Monitoring Network demonstrated that there was a large tool box of monitoring techniques that could be applied for both surface and sub surface monitoring of CO2. It was clear that no single technique would be sufficient to meet all the different monitoring needs. Therefore, the aim of the network has been, to focus more on monitoring programmes rather than individual techniques.

Oxy-Fuel Combustion Network

The aim of the International Network for Oxy-Fuel Combustion is to provide an international forum for organisations with interest in the development of Oxy-Fuel Combustion Technology.

Risk Assessment Network

The International Risk Assessment Network was established in August 2005. It was agreed that the research network should aim to address what the regulators are expecting and whether risk assessment can provide the answers they require. The scope of the Risk Assessment Network can be divided into a number of smaller and more specific subject areas which can run alongside the operation of the network.

Well Bore Integrity Network

During the development of the Risk Assessment Network, discussions highlighted that the integrity of well bores and their long-term ability to retain CO2 could be a significant potential risk for the long-term security of geological storage facilities. To address this component of risk assessment a workshop was held in April 2005 to bring together over 50 experts from both industrial operators and from research organisations to determine the current state of knowledge of well bore integrity.
One of the main outcomes from the workshop was that the scope of work on well bore integrity was enough to establish its own network but there would be a report on progress at the annual Risk Assessment Network Meetings.

Joint Network Meeting

Following three sucessfull meetings of each of the Monitoring, Risk Assessment and Well Bore integrity Networks, it has been decided to bring these three networks together in one meeting to help shape the future direction for each Network

CO2GeoNet

The Network focus is on the geological storage of CO2 as a greenhouse gas mitigation option. It has several objectives over the 5 year period of EC funding for integration.

CO2NET

CO2NET is the European Network of researchers, developers and users of CO2 technology, facilitating co-operation between these organisations and the European projects on CO2 geological storage, CO2 capture and zero emissions technologies.

EuroGeoSurveys

To assist the European Union to obtain joint technical advice from the Geological Surveys of the Member States and Accession Countries

eurogif

EUROGIF represents the European oil and gas service and supply industry. EUROGIF brings an industry perspective to the EU in terms of their formulation of both energy policy and Framework Programmes for sponsored research.

EnergyINet

EnergyINet is an organization that brings industry, researchers and government together to unlock the next generation of ideas and technology to provide Canadians with an abundant supply of affordable and environmentally responsible energy.

The Zero Emission Coal Alliance (ZECA)

A U.S.-Canadian consortium, comprised of 18 members representing governments, research organizations and the coal, utility, mining, and equipment manufacturing industries, proposes the development of a novel, highly efficient technology to generate electricity and/or hydrogen from coal with zero atmospheric emissions.
