IEA Global Peer Review |
| At the 2008 Hokkaido Summit, G8 leaders declared that they “strongly support the launching of 20 large-scale CCS demonstration projects globally by 2010, taking into account various national circumstances, with a view to beginning broad deployment of CCS by 2020”. |
| An International Energy Agency (IEA) Global Peer Review will be held in Bergen, Norway, on 27 May 2009. The Bergen meeting will review the documentation to be reported to the G8 in 2010 on the status of the above mentioned 20 large-scale CCS demonstration projects. |

The organiser of this side-event is the IEA Working Party for Fossil Fuels, which is the responsible IEA body for fossil fuel policies and technologies, including environmental and energy security related issues. |
