Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Bellona Foundation: An environmental NGO that runs a dedicated CCS/CCUS programme, producing technical reports and European policy advocacy. Comparable to IEAGHG in CCS focus but different in funding base and geographic centre of gravity (Europe vs global).
• Clean Air Task Force: A US-focused non-profit producing technical and policy research on CCUS, industrial decarbonisation, and methane. Less membership-driven than IEAGHG but increasingly active in the same evidence-and-policy niche.
• Carbon Capture Coalition: A US-based non-profit coalition advocating for expanded CCUS deployment through federal policy. While more policy/advocacy-oriented than IEAGHG's research focus, it competes for the same pool of corporate CCS stakeholders in North America.

Broad incumbents

• Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI): A non-profit energy-transition think tank producing influential research on hard-to-abate sector decarbonisation, including CCUS. It competes for philanthropic and corporate climate-research attention that IEAGHG would otherwise channel into CCS work.
• Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN): A UNFCCC-linked implementation mechanism providing technology advice and capacity building to developing countries, including on CCUS. It overlaps with IEAGHG on international climate-technology knowledge dissemination and policy support.
• Clean Energy Ministerial CCUS Initiative (CEM CCUS): A high-level intergovernmental initiative under the Clean Energy Ministerial that coordinates CCUS action across major economies. It overlaps with IEAGHG's mission of coordinating CCUS policy and deployment among governments.
• IEA Bioenergy: A fellow IEA Technology Collaboration Programme; while focused on bioenergy rather than CCS, it shares the same institutional structure (IEA TCP), membership funding model, publication cadence, and conference/convening approach, making it a structural peer.

Others

• Bipartisan Policy Center (Energy Project): A US think tank producing energy and climate policy analysis including CCUS issues. Adjacent rather than directly comparable, but a relevant ecosystem actor convening policy-makers on similar CCUS topics.

Direct peers

• Global CCS Institute: An international think tank and convening body focused on accelerating CCS deployment; pursues overlapping mission with IEAGHG (research, policy advice, member engagement) and even commissions IEAGHG for joint studies, making it the most directly comparable organisation.
• Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF): An international Ministerial-level forum focused on CO2 storage R&D and broader CCUS collaboration. CSLF collaborates closely with IEAGHG on tasks like CCSM degree audits, making it a direct peer in CCUS knowledge convening.
