CCS policies and regulations can require operators to either clean up (at high cost and difficulty) or shut down, just like other forms of pollution control.
We should applaud regulators with strong CCS policies and challenge fossil fuel interests who hide behind the idea of CCS.

That’s the opposite of what I said!
The UK Introduced a policy of ‘no new coal without CCS’ in 2009, which resulted in no coal being built at all.
UK & Canada have used emissions standards to require existing coal plants to either fit CCS or shut down by X date. Biden EPA regs similar approach.

I think we should assign agency:
Fossil fuel companies have hidden behind the idea of future CCS as an excuse for business as usual.
Governments have used CCS policy as a means of preventing / retiring coal power plants.
Industrial emitters are supporting CCS clusters to enable emissions cuts.

In other years there have been roles like ‘executive director of COPXX secretariat’. I imagine it is up to each Presidency how they title the role.

We had ASHP installed and gas meter removed by Octopus. Kept receiving monthly emails asking me to provide meter readings. Flagged by various routes, told it would resolve (it didn’t). Eventually customer services fixed it, after ~15 months. At least I wasn’t billed for gas or standing charge.
