This section integrates the knowledge, experience, and effort of professionals, academics, students, and research groups that have contributed to studying CCS in Mexico from different areas and sectors. You can access our Punto Crítico newsletter, books, scientific articles, theses, reports, studies, regulations, posters, and outreach materials here.
Scientists may depict problems that will affect the environment based on available evidence, but their solution is not responsibility of scientists but of society as a whole.

This digital newsletter is the communication and dissemination project of MeCCS, which addresses various issues related to CO2 emissions and sustainability.
In each issue, various experts from different areas of knowledge, regions and sectors share their experiences, opinions, and visions through notes, interviews, and materials to promote ideas exchange and critical thinking construction.
The newsletters are available in Spanish and English. You can download them for free.
Is there a topic you would like us to address in the newsletters? You can also sponsor new editions.

This book is an educational resource with information and experiments designed to communicate and teach energy, climate change, and CCS topics.
The CO2 degrees Challenge is an international programme started by the Global CCS Institute in 2012 and, since then, has been taught in various places around the world to people of all ages.
In 2016, Mexico took on the challenge by collaborating with the Ministry of Energy (SENER), the UNAM’s Science Museum, Universum, and the Global CCS Institute. The challenge included the translation and adaptation of all materials into Spanish, as well as training for representatives of research centres, government, industry, and universities to become facilitators of this workshop.
If you need more information or training to facilitate the experiments or use of the materials, please contact us.

This section integrates knowledge, experience and effort of professionals, academics, students, working and research groups that have contributed to the study of CCS in Mexico from different areas and sectors. Here, you will access books, scientific articles, theses, reports, research, regulations, posters and communication materials.
The documents you will find here have been compiled through an open call for all those interested in sharing their work on this website and through a bibliographic search in national and international journals and public databases.
A methodology consists of a series of procedures and techniques that allow to attend one or more objectives. It can be applied in different fields and areas of knowledge and is based on both theory and practice.
We present four methodologies that are frequently used to evaluate, plan, and monitor different types of projects. Some of them submit innovative proposals based on interdisciplinary work and thinking “out of the box” to help measure the impact of implementing new policies or interventions. In each of them, you will find examples of how they are applied in CCS projects.
We leave you a list of links from different sites in case you want to know more about the organisations, research centres and some CCS projects worldwide so you can continue to improve your knowledge on the subject, have references to expand your contact networks or start looking for synergies and collaborations.
These are the four organisations and initiatives in which experts from around the world and representatives of government, academia, industry and civil society gather to promote and drive CCS / CCUS.
Among the organisations and associations that support and finance CCS / CCUS projects are:
