An Ideal Portfolio of CCS Projects and Rationale for Supporting Projects Report

The Global CCS Institute engaged L.E.K. Consulting to research and propose a theoretical portfolio of CCS projects, as well as a rationale for supporting projects. This portfolio study consists of two sections: the Ideal Portfolio which describes the range of projects that would address different hurdles to CCS deployment; and the Rationale for Supporting Projects which describes possible ways in which the Global CCS Institute can identify and support CCS projects as they relate to an Ideal Portfolio. The Global CCS Institute will use the recommendations of this study to shape its strategy going forward on its selection of, and involvement with, CCS projects.

Strategic Analysis of the Global Status of CCS

In May 2009, a consortium led by WorleyParsons and comprising Schlumberger, Electric Power Research Institute and Baker & McKenzie was engaged to undertake the Strategic Analysis of the Global Status of Carbon Capture and Storage. The consortium was tasked to undertake a comprehensive survey of the status of CCS and to develop a series of reports analysing CCS projects, the economics of CCS, policies supporting CCS development and existing research and development networks. A fifth report - the Synthesis Report - was also developed and this summarises the findings of the first four reports, and provides a comprehensive assessment of the gaps and barriers to the deployment of large-scale CCS projects, including strategies and recommendations to address these issues.
