A New Look and New Resources for Canada's Leading Online Resource for Information on Carbon Capture and Storage - http://www.ccs101.ca Re-launch and International Teachers Curriculum Guide

Regina, Saskatchewan (ots/PRNewswire) -

There is a new-look website and new materials online for people
wanting to know more about Carbon Capture and Storage technology
(CCS).

The CCS101.ca website is a one-stop-shop for information on CCS.
At CCS101.ca visitors can access the latest knowledge on CCS in
Canada and from around the world. As Canada leads global CCS
research, development and large-scale demonstration, this website
aims to make information on this important suite of technologies
available to everyone, both domestically and internationally.

CCS101.ca was funded through the IEAGHG Weyburn - Midale CO2
Monitoring and Storage Project. This project is the world's largest
and most extensively researched CO2 monitoring and storage project,
involving researchers from around the globe. "It is incredibly
important for us as researchers to look beyond the project and put
forward information about this technology in a way that is accessible
to people globally," said Dr. Malcolm Wilson CEO of the Petroleum
Technology Research Centre, and a former member of the International
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

The newly refurbished CCS101.ca website is hosted locally in
Saskatchewan and has added some impressive features for educators,
including full access to a highly anticipated international
curriculum guide on CCS. Developed by the Global CCS Institute in
Canberra, Australia, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organisation (CSIRO), these materials set the international
benchmark for bringing discussions on low-emissions energy
technologies into the classroom.

"The CCS education resources have been reviewed by science and
education experts and trialled in classrooms across Australia and
internationally. We are delighted that Canada will be the first
country outside Australia to provide them thanks to the established
CCS101.ca website. We are confident they will help school students
understand the important role CCS can play as one of the technologies
needed to move to a low carbon economy," said Brad Page, Chief
Executive Officer, Global CCS Institute, which launched the
curriculum resources earlier this week during National Science Week
in Australia.
