ISPE supports National Programme for Carbon Capture and Storage
ISPE and Politehnica University hosted the fifth edition of the International Energy and Environment Conference – CIEM 2011, one of the most prestigious scientific and academic events in the region. The conference was held in Bucharest, between November 3rd-4th.
An important element on the conference agenda was the „Carbon Capture and Storage” international round table organized by ISPE and GeoEcoMar, under the auspices of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Business Environment – METBE. The event emphasized the importance of implementing the CCS technology in the European Union and integrating it in the National Power Strategy, as recommended in the EU Roadmap 2050.
The hosts of the event were George Darie, dean of the Energy Faculty - Politehnica University, and Cristiana Ion, counsellor of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Business Environment. In the opening, Derek Taylor, Director of BEST Programme - Bellona Foundation (Norway) delivered an interesting presentation on the „European CCS Roadmap”, presenting the analysis made by Bellona for Poland and Hungary.

„Carbon Capture and Storage” international round table is part of a series of knowledge sharing events included in the “National Programme for CO2 Capture and Storage – 2020 horizon”, financed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Business Environment. The purposes of this research programme are: taking an account of the carbon capture and storage technologies worldwide, either employed for research or commercial purposes, identifying the national geological storage potential and raising the knowledge and public awareness level regarding CCS technologies.
The round table gathered more than 60 participants, delegates of the central government authorities (ANPM - National Agency for Environmental Protection, ANRE - Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority, ANRM - Romanian Mineral Resources Regulatory Authority, Romanian Ministry of Environment and Forests, Ministry of Administration and Interior, Ministry of Economy, Commerce and Business Environment), academic and scientific environment representatives (Politehnica University in Bucharest, Politehnica University in Timisoara), business reprezentatives (Romgaz) as well as Romanian industry players (Turceni Power Station, Rovinari Power Station and CET Govora).
