Currently there are eighteen sponsors: Alstom Power, American Electric Power, American Petroleum Institute, Aramco Services, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Electricité de France (EDF), EPRI, ExxonMobil, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Marathon Oil, Peabody Energy, Schlumberger, Shell, Siemens Power Generation, Southern Company and Vattenfall.

The Consortium objectives include:

  • Provide an objective source of assessment and information about carbon sequestration.
  • Establish a members' information network to provide timely updates on relevant activities and new findings.
  • Explore the societal and technical aspects of carbon sequestration.
  • Educate a wider audience on the possibilities of carbon sequestration.
  • Link industry to expanding government activities on these topics.
  • Stimulate and seed new research ideas.
  • Create an annual forum for strategic thinking and identification of new business opportunities.
