IPAC-CO2 - International Performance Assessment Centre for the geologic storage of Carbon Dioxide
Brief description:
The International Performance Assessment Centre for the geologic storage of Carbon Dioxide, known as IPAC-CO2, was established in 2008 to fill a gap in the understanding and assessment of risk and performance in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) chain. It is a not-for-profit research and development organization committed to providing independent, objective information, best practices, advice and assessments to governments and industry. IPAC-CO2 was created through the efforts of Royal Dutch Shell, the Government of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina. The Government of Saskatchewan and Royal Dutch Shell contributed $5 million each to launch IPAC-CO2. The University of Regina with over 20 years of experience in CCS, is providing a base for the Secretariat. This global “community of practice” will tie together a network of organizations on virtually every continent. Regional Centres and Networks have been established through partnerships with research-providing organizations in eight countries on six continents.
