New NGO CCS Network

Nine leading environmental and climate NGOs recently joined together to form the ENGO Network on CCS. The purpose of the Network is "to jointly pursue domestic and international policies and regulations enabling CCS to deliver on its emissions reduction potential safely and effectively." Members include:

• Clean Air Task Force
• Environmental Defense Fund
• Green Alliance
• Natural Resources Defense Council
• The Bellona Foundation
• The Climate Institute
• The Pembina Institute
• World Resources Institute
• Zero Emission Resource Organization

Of particular note are EDF and NRDC, which continue to distinguish themselves as forward-thinking, pragmatic organizations open to innovative climate solutions such as CCS and related geoengineering technologies (see, for example, NRDC and EDF Lead the Way, 12/2/10).
