Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum

The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) describes itself as "an international climate change initiative that is focused on development of improved cost-effective technologies for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide for its transport and long-term safe storage. The purpose of the CSLF is to make these technologies broadly available internationally; and to identify and address wider issues relating to carbon capture and storage."
