Mandate

The SBSTA requested the secretariat, subject to availability of resources, to organize, under the guidance of the Chair of the SBSTA, an in-session workshop on carbon dioxide capture and storage at the twenty-fourth session of the SBSTA. The objective of the workshop would be to increase understanding of carbon dioxide capture and storage through an overview of the IPCC special report and through experiences and lessons learned. It would cover relevant provisions of the forthcoming 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, demonstration and pilot projects and capacity-building for the development and use of this technology. The workshop would draw on the views of Parties and the relevant expertise of Parties, intergovernmental organizations and other organizations. The SBSTA requested its Chair to prepare a report of the above-mentioned workshop for consideration by the SBSTA at its twenty-fifth session (November 2006) and requested that this report and workshop presentations be posted on the UNFCCC web site as soon as possible after the workshop.
