The Advanced Power Technology Forum (APGTF) is an industry led stakeholder group that provides the focus for the UK power generation sector on research and development and demonstration activities for fossil fuels, biomass and associated technologies including carbon capture and storage.
The objectives of the APGTF are to provide the strategic focus in the UK on near-to-zero and zero emission technologies from fossil fuel, biomass and associated technologies so as to ensure that
- Strategies are developed and implemented within the UK and globally that support the UK's climate change goal of reducing CO2 emissions both within the UK and abroad
- The UK has secure, clean, affordable energy as we become increasingly dependent on imported fuels
- UK industry has the technologies to allow it to take advantage of the UK and global market opportunities that will arise in the power generation sector
- There is a significant contribution to UK wealth creation

This report describes the key RD&D activities needed to ensure that the UK maintains its position amongst the leading nations in developing and deploying carbon capture and storage, with particular reference to a 2020 target for CCS commercialisation and the UK's 2050 climate change targets. The strategy complements the Government's Advisory Committee on Carbon Abatement Technology (ACCAT) strategy. It has been prepared in consultation with UK industry, academia and Government.
