  1. Low carbon technology transfer: issues of relevance to CCS • Dr David Ockwell • January 2008 • d.g.ockwell@sussex.ac.uk

  2. Overview • 6 key considerations for low carbon technology transfer • Conclusion: 2 questions in relation to CCS

  3. Key considerations • No “one policy fits all” solution • Stage of technology development

  4. Stage of technology development

  5. Stage of technology development

  6. Stage of technology development • Storage? Monitoring?

  7. Key considerations • No “one policy fits all” solution • Stage of technology development • Technological change and capacity building • Centrality of knowledge flows

  8. Essential knowledge flows Technology suppliers Technology transferred Technology importers New production capacity Supplier firms’ engineering, managerial and other technological capabilities Flow A Capital goods, services & designs Skills & know-how for operation & maintenance Flow B Knowledge & expertise behind technology Accumulation of technological capacity Flow C

  9. Key considerations • No “one policy fits all” solution • Stage of technology development • Technological change and capacity building • Centrality of knowledge flows • Absorptive capacity & tacit knowledge • Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) • “Necessary but not sufficient”

  10. Conclusion: 2 Questions • Horizontal or vertical technology transfer? • Does this need to be addressed sequentially, or in parallel with learning links via collaboration? • How do we facilitate this?

  11. Conclusion: 2 Questions • Which part of the technology is being transferred? • E.g. carbon capture or geological knowledge for characterising saline aquifers? • Specific parts or whole systems? • Do we need different approaches to facilitate technology transfer for different parts of CCS systems? • What is the balance of capabilities among different Indian firms?

  12. Conclusion: 2 Questions • Horizontal or vertical technology transfer? • Which part of the technology is being transferred?
