Indian Experts Joining Hands With Global to Reduce Greenhouse Gases
A capacity-building task force of a US based international climate change initiative with India and 21 other member countries called Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), is helping several developing countries acquire the knowledge, skills and institutions they need to understand and implement carbon dioxide capture and storage.
This technology encompasses capturing CO2 from power plants and fuel-processing facilities, then transporting it and injecting it for long-term storage into nearby geologic formations of gravel or porous rock, or into old oil or gas fields, according to USINFO, a US State Department service.
Established in the US in 2003, CSLF members are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, the European Commission, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The CSLF held its first capacity-building workshop for emerging-economy members in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in May as a growing number of experts consider CO2 capture and storage one of the best ways to help mitigate climate change.
There, 55 delegates from six countries - Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Mexico and South Africa - and a participant from Saudi Arabia attended a three-day workshop hosted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and its Pittsburgh-based National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
