MIT offers ”The Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies Program” which conducts research into technologies to capture, utilise and store CO2 from large stationary sources. A major component of the program is the Carbon Sequestration Initiative, launched in 2000. Research interests at MIT include technology assessments, economic modelling, analysis of regulatory and political aspects, and development of a Carbon Management Geographic Information System (GIS). http://sequestration.mit.edu/index.html
Princeton University handles the Carbon Mitigation Initiative, which engage and support undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students to become leaders in the fields of Climate Science, Carbon Capture and Storage and Integration and Policy. http://cmi.princeton.edu/programs/education.php
Imperial College in London holds the largest CCS research program in the UK, with a staff of more than 30 people involved in CCS activity. The Research Program aims at an integrated approach from capture, through transport to geological storage, but with overarching systems approach to ensure a coherent research effort. The program is also involved in legal and regulatory issues. http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/carboncaptureandstorage
