Subject to be commissioned.
Slot XT-17 of the programme was left open, with its subject set at commissioning. Climate Technologies and Carbon Management is the proposed subject. It is not confirmed until the slot is commissioned, and you can propose another.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Slot | XT-17 |
| Proposed subject | Climate Technologies and Carbon Management |
| Why this subject | Capture, transport, storage and removal are infrastructure that the climate edition (GS-07) and the energy edition (GS-02) depend on for their pathways. |
| Where the proposal comes from | The programme’s subject registry (Edition Template v4, 26 October 2026) |
| State | Proposed, confirmed at commissioning |
How to propose a subject or contribute:
- Send a counter-proposal or a scoping note through the contribution form on this page, with the subject code XT-17 in the subject field.
- Say what the subject should cover, which country, sector or technology editions it would read across, and which open sources would carry its baseline.
- Evidence for the proposed subject is welcome now: a dataset release, an official statistic or a peer-reviewed paper, with its licence.
- The desk that owns the subject reviews every proposal at commissioning. The subject is confirmed, changed or replaced then, and the decision is listed in Releases and notices.
