CO2 Capture, transport and Storage (CCS) can play an important role in reducing the CO2 emission from industrial sources. This sequence of innovative technologies has gathered scientists of various disciplines, but it is also surrounded by much controversy. Climate change remains a high priority research theme because an efficient and effective international and national climate policy is a necessary condition for sustainable development.
During five years, the partners of the BELSPO funded projects "Policy Support System for Carbon Capture and Storage" and "Treating Uncertainty and risk in energy systems with MARKAL/TIMES", have tried to provide better insights into the future perspectives of CCS for Belgium, develop energy scenarios for climate policy, and create a better integration of the impact of uncertainty in the evaluation of energy and environmental policies and the estimation of the energy service demand price elasticities in the MARKAL/TIMES model.
This symposium will be held at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, the 26th of May 2011. Major themes that will be addressed are the climate and energy context of Belgium in an international context, with particular attention to CCS; the TIMES and PSS models explained, including simulation results; emission reduction roadmaps; and geological risk and monitoring.
