This is a series of webpages detailing the range of technologies used in the capture, transport and storage of carbon dioxide that combine in a chain to provide Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) of emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes, preventing carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

This white paper identifies key pieces of information that state energy policymakers and U.S. companies and investors should know about one another, and it offers a “deeper dive” on a series of energy policy topics — including clean energy policies, financing mechanisms, and corporate sustainability approaches — on which both state and company/investor representatives can find common ground.

The Ceres Roadmap presents 20 expectations in the areas of governance, stakeholder engagement, disclosure, and performance that companies should seek to meet by 2020 in order to transform into truly sustainable enterprises.

This report seeks to bring clarity to a corporate audience, as well as other relevant stakeholders, on how to better understand water valuation, water risks, and the possibilities for better water stewardship.

This paper analyzes the trade-offs between two fundamental ecosystem services which will be impacted by climate change: provisioning services derived from agriculture and regulating services in the form of freshwater quality.

This report identifies key strategies for effective board engagement that can produce tangible environmental and social impacts based on interviews conducted with dozens of corporate directors, leaders and governance experts. Corporate boards are responsible for overseeing the interests of shareholders in the long-term and have a critical role to play in championing sustainability.

This report discusses some of the most important recent developments and provides the first attempt at quantifying the uptake of carbon asset risk (CAR) assessment and management. In the past few years, CAR has gone from a fringe topic discussed primarily by NGOs to a serious consideration of some of the largest companies in the world.

This report chronicles major shifts in the financial landscape since the launch of the Carbon Asset Risk ("CAR") Initiative, launched in September 2013 by Ceres and the Carbon Tracker Initiative with support from the Global Investor Coalition.

This paper estimates reductions to generating capacity in the Western United States based on long-term changes in streamflow, air temperature, water temperature, humidity and air density.

This report sets out scenarios for the power sector in 2030 as an input to the committee's advice on the fifth carbon budget. The fifth carbon budget sets a limit on UK emissions of greenhouse gases over the period 2028 to 2032. The scenarios discussed in this paper set out possible futures for the UK power sector, and are not intended to set out a prescriptive path.

This paper presents a global assessment of the vulnerability of the world’s current hydropower and thermoelectric power-generation system to changing climate and water resources, and test adaptation options for sustainable water–energy security during the twenty-first century.

This paper looks at how climate policy risk might propagate through the financial system. It develops a network-based climate stress-test methodology and apply it to large Euro Area banks in a ‘green’ and a ‘brown’ scenario.
