RITE, in association with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), hosted a CCS Technical Workshop with a theme, Approaches to Address Concerns over CO2 Seepage from Reservoirs, in Tokyo on 24 January 2013. There were 137 participants from businesses, universities, research institutes and governments. The attendees discussed how to address concerns of this kind and how to secure the safety of CCS through presentations from four experts, two from overseas and the other two from RITE, moderated by Prof Toru Sato, the University of Tokyo. At the end of the workshop, it was concluded that large projects such as CCS should be discussed from two viewpoints - economic growth and environmental impacts - and that taking environmental impacts into consideration should be recognized as an added value.
