International CCUS Summit

The Government of the United Kingdom and International Energy Agency will co-host an International CCUS Summit in Edinburgh on 28 November 2018. The Summit will bring together global energy leaders, including Ministers, CEOs of major energy companies and the financial community, to identify practical steps to accelerate investment in CCUS as a critical climate solution.
