[cc_research] Government-led CCs ?

[Jérôme Blanc]

Dear all,

As far as I have understood those moves, it seems that a series of  
south-american governments are promoting the development of CCS :  
Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela.
Do anyone know if there are other cases like that ? What is your  
opinion on this subject ?

My question arises because it seemed clear to me that CCs were distant  
regarding governments (more central ones than local ones, of course).  
Especially, I use to qualify CCs as civil society-driven schemes, so  
that it is a bit contradictory to get society-driven schemes under  
government promotion. Of course, the contradiction depends on the way  
governments promote them...
Do anyone have an opinion on that ? maybe information ?
