1 ACCELERATING CCS FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
2 OUR VISION FOR CCS CCS is an integral part of a low carbon future OUR MISSION To accelerate the development, demonstration and deployment of CCS globally OUR OBJECTIVES Authoritative knowledge sharing Fact based infl uential advice and advocacy Create favourable conditions to implement CCS OUR OUTCOMES Increased public understanding and acceptance of CCS Increased commercial opportunities for CCS Equal treatment of CCS with other clean energy technologies in energy and climate change policy
3 CEO MESSAGE As we know, the world is largely dependent on fossil fuels for energy and, as demand inevitably grows, we will continue to be dependent on them for decades to come. In order to address the climate change and energy security challenges before us, we need a portfolio of low carbon technologies, of which carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a vital component. To achieve emission reduction targets limiting the longterm global average temperature rise to no more than 2 C, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that energy-related emissions must reduce substantially. CCS could contribute 14 per cent of required emission reductions by 2050 in a least cost scenario. But we need to act now to ensure it can play its full part. The Global CCS Institute champions the development, demonstration and deployment of CCS throughout the world. Our multi-pronged approach involves: generating and sharing knowledge about real life experiences with CCS publicly advocating for CCS as a clean, safe technology creating the right conditions to increase the uptake of CCS. Formally established in 2009, the Institute is a young organisation, but we have a strong and diverse Membership comprising governments, global corporations, small companies, research bodies and non-government organisations (NGOs). The Institute is a not-for-profi t, Member focused organisation. We are headquartered in Australia, with offi ces in China, Belgium, Japan and the US. In response to Members feedback, we are moving to a regional service delivery model with strengthened representation in the Americas, Asia Pacifi c, and Europe, Middle East and Africa. The Institute is immersed in every aspect of CCS across the full spectrum of disciplines and activities, and we are connected to, and work with, a vast network of CCS experts and stakeholders. Our purpose is to acquire, generate and share knowledge on real life experiences of CCS to accelerate its use. We also monitor and analyse the barriers and enablers for CCS adoption, and advocate the advantages of, and need for, CCS. In essence, we serve our Members by helping to drive the implementation of CCS as quickly and cost effectively as possible. And we recognise the importance of existing and emerging uses of carbon dioxide (carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS)) in supporting the demonstration phase of CCS development. Fundamental to our success is our interaction with Members, stakeholders and partners. Accordingly, we have valuable alliances with multilateral bodies, including the IEA, Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, and Clean Energy Ministerial. During the next fi ve years, we will consolidate the Institute s role as a leading global authority on CCS. We will continue to advocate for CCS to be included in key national and international clean energy agreements and policies, educate the broader community about the value of the technology, and drive its further development, demonstration and deployment. The Australian Government had the vision to establish the Institute and set us upon our course. It is now time for us to ask Members to make a fi nancial commitment that will allow the Institute to build on the momentum to accelerate CCS as a vital technology in tackling climate change and providing energy security. I look forward to working with you to meet these challenges. Brad Page 1
4 ACCELERATING CCS CCS IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF A PORTFOLIO OF LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGIES 2
5 FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THE CHALLENGE Fossil fuels will remain a significant part of the global energy mix. CCS is necessary to minimise the damaging effects of climate change at least cost. Global primary energy consumption is still underpinned by fossil fuels and is expected to grow into the future Mtoe Oil Coal Gas Nuclear Hydro Bio energy Other renewables Mtoe = millions of tonnes of oil equivalent Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook. OECD/IEA, France The International Energy Agency (IEA) has identifi ed fundamental trends in its central energy scenario to 2035: world primary energy demand continues to grow, projected to increase by 35 per cent between 2010 and 2035 fossil fuels continue to account for the bulk of increased energy demand the increase in energy demand will predominantly come from non-oecd countries. Under this scenario, energy-related global carbon dioxide emissions remain on an upward path, with the IEA projecting a 23 per cent increase in emissions to 37.0 gigatonnes by To limit climate change, the rise in carbon dioxide emissions must be slowed and, in the decades to come, reversed. Achieving decarbonisation while delivering more energy and growth is a challenge to be met by a number of clean energy solutions. These include energy effi ciency and demand management measures, renewables and other low carbon energy sources, and the use of fossil fuels and biomass with CCS. CCS is not optional. It is a vital component of a portfolio of low carbon technologies required to achieve emission reduction objectives at least cost. The IEA estimates that the exclusion of CCS as a technology option in the electricity sector alone would increase investment costs by around US$3 trillion by Beyond the electricity sector, the IEA has stated that completely decarbonising the energy system would be unlikely without CCS. For CCS to play its part, it is clear that a substantial increase in new commercial scale CCS projects needs to occur. For this to happen, we need to take action on several fronts, including: establishing timely and stable policy support that will achieve large scale emission reductions ensuring CCS is treated equally with other low carbon technologies so that emission reductions can be achieved in the most effi cient and effective way accelerating government and industry funding to further develop the technology and bring down costs through innovation encouraging the sharing of lessons learnt through open networks, especially in non-oecd countries, to help stakeholders deal with diffi cult and time consuming challenges increasing public and stakeholder understanding and acceptance of CCS and its role within the broader low emissions energy context.

6 ACCELERATING CCS INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION To progress CCS the Institute works in partnership with a large number of organisations whose goals and core activities complement our own. This approach allows us to take advantage of the combined expertise of multiple disciplines and organisations, resulting in better coordinated global advocacy and knowledge sharing activities. In particular, the Institute collaborates with key multilateral bodies focused on broader energy developments or CCS specifi cally, and with climate change research and environmental policy organisations. KEY MULTILATERAL BODIES: We make extensive use of International Energy Agency (IEA) analyses and materials on future energy trends to advocate for CCS and, in turn, provide expert input on the status of CCS to the IEA. We also collaborate on issue-specifi c events. We contribute to, and support the management of, the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum s (CSLF) capacity development fund, and provide experts for various CSLF taskforces. We also conduct joint events on specifi c issues. In conjunction with the IEA, the Institute provides secretariat services to the Clean Energy Ministerial CCUS Action Group. We also provide expert input into plans and recommendations to the Clean Energy Ministerial. RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ORGANISATIONS: The Institute and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) co-developed a suite of public engagement and communication tools using the best available international research and CCS demonstration experience. The policy and advocacy work of the Institute and the research focus of the IEA Greenhouse Gas (IEAGHG) Research and Development Programme are highly complementary. We share information and assist each other in steering activities. Using our convening power, the Institute supported the global launch of Perspectives on Carbon Capture and Storage, a report by the ENGO Network on CCS an international group of leading environmental organisations at the United Nations climate talks in Doha, Qatar, in December In addition, the Institute is moving to expand its partnerships outside the CCS community. The aim is to ensure that CCS is on the agenda as a critical climate change mitigation technology in mainstream energy and climate change discussions. 4
7 FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN A GLOBAL CHAMPION FOR CCS The Institute is uniquely positioned to successfully champion the development, demonstration and deployment of CCS. The impact of the Institute is greater than the sum of our parts.

14 ACCELERATING CCS HOW WE OPERATE The Institute s Member focused approach is central to all our work. Regionally relevant, globally connected Implementation of this strategy will be through a decentralised organisational model. This will be implemented across three regions: the Americas; Asia Pacifi c; and Europe, Middle East and Africa. Each region will be responsible for: Member relations and coordination of input into the Institute s work program and priorities intra- and inter-regional networks independent expertise and advice access to, and dissemination of, the large amount of information available on CCS globally collaborative advocacy and knowledge sharing activities. The Institute s head office in Australia will be responsible for: overall coordination activities development and maintenance of our knowledge platforms and systems provision of business support services. Consultation is at the core of all Institute activities; we value our Members input and expertise. The Institute will engage with Members to confi rm overall direction and ensure that priorities and activities support our objectives and Members needs. With respect to the development of the Institute s annual work program, our consultative engagement model will: have a strong focus on regional views and priorities seek submissions from Members on potential work program activities allow for feedback from Members on a draft work program. The fi nal work program developed through this process will be presented to the Institute Board for approval. Membership The Institute s primary source of funding will be Membership fees. A differentiated Membership classifi cation and fee system will be implemented. Such a system is important as it will allow us to maintain a broad and diversifi ed Membership base. The following fee classifi cation principles will be applied: for governments, fees will be based on measures that take into consideration contribution to carbon emissions and ability to undertake actions to support low carbon technologies for industry, fees will be based on annual revenue. Industry associations will pay fees at the lowest level applied to industry Members academic institutions, NGOs, and research and development bodies will be non-fee-paying but will be asked for in-kind support in areas where collaboration would contribute to CCS development. Grants to support work activities aligned with the Institute s mission and outcomes will be sought to supplement fees. Governance The Institute and its Board of Directors are committed to appropriate corporate governance. The Institute s Constitution defi nes our function, provides a set of principles and procedures that govern our conduct, outlines the rights of Members, and details the procedures for selecting Board members. The Board acts in accordance with the (Australian) Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the corporate governance principles contained therein. The Institute s governance and advisory support comprises: the Board the Audit and Risk Committee the CEO and Executive Leadership Team an International Advisory Panel expert panels (as determined by the Board). Evaluation The Institute is accountable for its performance and committed to transparent reporting. Our annual business plan is aligned to the Five Year Strategic Plan, as are the activities in our work programs. To ensure we deliver Member value, we have a robust framework for evaluating and reporting the progress of our work programs against our objectives. 12
