| The five-year CATO programme is building a powerful knowledge network in the Netherlands on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage. In the period 2004-2008 the network will generate the necessary validated knowledge and expertise, investigate the societal and industrial basis in the Netherlands and create the technological expertise for the possible transition to a clean use of fossil fuels in the Dutch energy economy. The programme is financially being supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs (50%), through its agency SENTER, and by the participating firms and institutions (50%). UCE is the coordinator of the CATO project. A brief summary of the programme can be found below, describing the background, the consortium partners, the objectives and the structure. |
