Stay on top of CCS with the Carbon Capture Journal

With the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen just around the corner and climate change legislation making its way through the Senate, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has certainly become a hot topic.

And while staying on top of CCS news and research can seem a bit daunting, we’ve discovered one publication covering CCS and government policy in a way that’s “clear, useful and won’t waste your time.” It’s called the Carbon Capture Journal.

In addition to tracking new test facilities, demonstration sites and funding, the U.K.-based Journal offers comprehensive coverage of U.S. and international climate-related legislation.

And because Carbon Capture Journal covers a broad array of topics, its readers are just as varied. Apart from people in the energy industry, policy analysts, lawyers and reporters from all over the world subscribe to the publication.

But you don’t have to be a subscriber to get access to the Journal’s articles and resources. Carbon Capture Journal’s Web site posts some of its news items free of charge and features categorized links to companies working on CCS and related government organizations.

Take a minute to explore the site, and if you like what you see, start a profile on its online networking site and share your ideas about CCS with its Web-based community.
