Inclusion in the international perspective
As an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), the "COORETEC Lighthouse Concept" complements the initiatives that have already begun on the European and international level. Activities within the framework of the "COORETEC Lighthouse Project" will be harmonized with the implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda of the “Zero Emission Technology Platform” (ETP-ZEP) and with work carried out by the “Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum” (CSLF). This will reap the benefits of the synergy effect. Another link in the collaboration between various European countries with their national research programmes on CCS technology is the ERA-NET “Fossil Energy Coalition“ (FENCO).
There are also points of contact with the IEA’s Clean Coal Centre and Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme. Studies have been compiled as part of these programmes and these publications can be obtained free of charge by those interested.
