4 November: Kick-off for the Paris Climate Agreement and a new CCS research centre

NCCS landscape
With the new climate agreement which comes into effect on Friday 4 November, the world is committed to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions. All countries must create their own national plans for cutting emissions – and then report on their progress. The goal is to prevent the global temperature rising by more than 2 degrees by the year 2100.

4 November, the same day the climate agreement takes effect, marks the kick-off of NCCS/Norwegian CCS Research Centre, which will be led by SINTEF.

CCS stands for "carbon capture and storage". Research into the capture and storage of CO2 may be a powerful weapon against climate change.

The centre has high ambitions. It will operate for eight years, with about 30 research and industrial partners and a budget of more than 50 million euro.
