NAIROBI, Nov 17 (Reuters) - U.N. climate talks in Nairobi have delayed a decision on whether to include carbon capture and storage under a Kyoto carbon trading framework called the Clean Development Mechanism, the head of the U.N.'s climate body said.

"The decision taken is to look at the issue further," Yvo de Boer said on Friday.

"We've not decided yet whether to include it in CDM."

The technology on whether buried carbon dioxide stays underground and who is liable if it leaks were the main sticking points, he added.
