2nd IEF High-level Roundtable on Carbon Management Technologies

The Second IEF High-level Roundtable on Carbon Management Technologies was hosted by the IEF on 16 February 2023 at the IEF Headquarters in Riyadh in collaboration with the Clean Energy Ministerial and the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center. The roundtable explored the key principles to de-risk large-scale CCUS investment and reviewed how carbon market initiatives and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards advance the Circular Carbon Economy endorsed by the G20 to provide more predictability and certainty to investors in just and orderly transitions.

The dialogue focused on overcoming:

1. Investor hesitancy stemming from regulatory risk, market volume, and public perceptions,
2. Limited access to capital markets and sustainable financing under evolving ESG criteria,
3. Obstacles to exploiting network synergies in the hydrogen and new materials transition.
