About the Forum
The Global CCS Institute is delighted to host the 2025 Middle East and Africa Forum on Carbon Capture and Storage in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in November 2025. Across the Middle East and Africa, CCS has shifted from ambition to execution: storage is being certified, capture deployed, MRV frameworks operational, and policy signals converging. Cross-border CCS cooperation and synergies with low-carbon fuels are aligning CCS projects into stronger value chains.
The Forum, will be a public event held on the grounds of the prominent ADIPEC conference, is an opportunity to hear from key players supporting the scale-up of CCS in the MEA region, including policy and government leaders, researchers and academics, project developers, and industry experts.
We will examine how to turn this alignment into scale—advancing CC technologies, bankable capture for hard-to-abate sectors and emerging economies, and transboundary CO₂ transport underpinned by credible MRV and emerging carbon markets.
Held every year, this event is an opportunity to hear from key players supporting the scale-up of CCS, including policy and government leaders, researchers and academics, project developers, industry experts, and those in the financial sector.
