-The CCSA is the trade association for the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) industry. It was launched in March 2006 to represent the interests of its members in promoting CCS 'as a means of abating atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and, potentially, as a means of enhancing the production of fossil hydrocarbons'.<ref>CCSA [http://www.ccsassociation.org.uk/about_ccsa/what_we_do.html What We Do], Accessed 28/11/09</ref>

Further, the promotion of CCS has been used as an argument for new coal fired power stations which will increase emissions considerably (with or without CCS). It is also noted that burying the captured carbon is expensive (raising energy costs), energy consuming in itself, risky, and potentially ineffective, with considerable leakage back to the atmosphere. <ref>Greenpeace-reports 2008 [http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/reports/false-hope False Hope: Why Carbon Capture and Storage won't Save the Planet], Accessed 28/11/09</ref>

The event will focus on coal-gasification technology and claims in its publicity to signify a broader clean coal technology portfolio "which would arouse tremendous resound from the policy makers, clean coal industry players and investors" <ref>CCSA [http://www.ccsassociation.org.uk/events/forthcoming.html Forthcoming Events] Accessed 14/01/10</ref>. The forum is also sponsored by [[IEA Clean Coal Centre]], [[National Reform and Development Commission Energy Research Institute]] and [[Clean Air Task Force]].
