For CCS to play an important role in the reduction of CO2 emissions, it is essential to ensure the approach is safe, effective and can be done at an industrial scale.  IPAC-CO2 will link organizations and experts into a worldwide network, committed to reducing the risk and reaching the potential of the geological storage of CO2. 

As an independent, non-aligned organization, IPAC-CO2 assesses and advises on CCS projects around the world.  In addition to evaluating performance and risk issues, and assessing proposed projects, IPAC-CO2 will:

• Network internationally to share and build on the findings of other academic and public organizations and institutions with CCS expertise;
• Interact with key stakeholders to identify emerging issues and ensure effective and acceptable risk assessment techniques are developed, applied and communicated;
• Create communications to inform the public and build broad acceptance of CCS;
• Develop a pool of qualified personnel in the areas of performance and risk assessment.
