The institute has received similar grant last year, in support to the initiatives the institute carries out through the Clean Energy Ministerial on CCS and carbon dioxide reuse.

This included a study on CO2 reuse potential, sharing of best practice around financial support mechanisms and policies, and case studies on creating the best enabling environment for CCS deployment.

The new grant will be utilised towards activities in India, Malaysia, South Africa and Mexico and will will support Institute initiatives in the areas of financing, policy and regulatory, and capacity development.

According to the grant objectives, the US Government policy advances CCS technology as an important means for helping to put the world on a path toward sustainable economic growth.
