Abstract
Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key technology to reduce carbon dioxide emission to the atmosphere and needed to be widely deployed in the world as early as possible. The G8 leaders declared at the Hokkaido Toyako Summit in 2008 to “strongly support the launching of 20 large-scale CCS demonstration projects globally by 2010, with a view to beginning broad deployment of CCS by 2020.” The Japanese Government accelerated development of CCS since around the summit and Japan CCS Co., Ltd. was established just before the summit. The company has been carrying out comprehensive investigations for large scale demonstrations in Japan. Similar to the petroleum exploration and production (E & P), CCS deals with the invisible nature of deep underground. Therefore, expertise and technologies acquired and developed in the petroleum E & P will play an important role in CCS to assure safe and effective operations.
