Communications for carbon capture and storage: identifying the benefits, managing risk and maintaining the trust of stakeholders
Communications for carbon capture and storage: identifying the benefits, managing risk and maintaining the trust of stakeholders

28th February 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Public engagement

This report reviews the communication approaches of five CCS projects and explores the common challenges and themes they have faced. It is not designed to be a ‘template for success’ or a ‘how-to’ guide because all projects are different and all sites have specific issues. It does, however, attempt to draw out communication strategies that have proven to be successful for some projects as they have attempted to earn and maintain stakeholders’ trust and suggests measures which, project developers in general and CCS communicators in particular, might adopt if they are to mitigate the risk of failure on the engagement front.

技术路线图 二氧化碳捕集与封存技术在工业中的应用
技术路线图 二氧化碳捕集与封存技术在工业中的应用

22nd February 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS)

Nearly one-third of global energy and one-quarter of worldwide carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are attributable to industrial activities that are not in the power generation sector. If climate change is to be successfully tackled, these sectors will need to transform the way they use energy and significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. In sectors such as iron and steel, oil refining, cement and chemicals and petrochemicals, emission can be reduced through efficiency improvements and integration of low carbon energy sources. Crucially, however, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as the only large-scale mitigation option available that can deliver the additional CO2 emissions reductions that would be necessary to meet the climate goals in 2050.
  This roadmap shows that CCS is a key cost-effective option for reducing CO2 emissions in large energy-intensive industries. In fact, much of the promising short-term potential for CCS globally lies not in the power sector but in industrial activities that currently vent highly pure streams of CO2. These activities include hydrogen production for fertilisers or fuel, bioethanol production and natural gas sweetening. Most studies on the potential application of CCS have focused on the power sector, however, even though all existing operational large-scale demonstrations of CCS are in industrial applications. In the longer-term, half of the global economic deployment for CCS by 2050 is shown to be in industrial applications. In certain sectors CCS is shown to be of particular relevance in developing countries, where it could be a highly cost-competitive emissions abatement option, even in the near term.  
This technology roadmap builds on the initial IEA roadmap on CCS and also the technology roadmap for the cement sector developed by the IEA and the Cement Sustainability Initiative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. It paves the way for low-carbon industrial growth in developed and developing countries by providing a vision of CCS in industrial applications up to 2050.

Impacts of trace components on oxy-combustion for the Callide Oxy-fuel Project: literature review
Impacts of trace components on oxy-combustion for the Callide Oxy-fuel Project: literature review

20th February 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture

This literature review compiles the current knowledge on trace inorganic species in oxy-combustion. It sets the context in which ongoing research will examine trace components in oxy-combustion for the Callide Oxy-fuel Demonstration project in Australia. The behaviour of trace species in the CO2 stream are potentially significant contributors to oxy- fuel technology performance, and may impose costs associated with gas-cleaning protocols to avoid issues with emissions and corrosion. The report focuses on the release and speciation of trace metals, the amount and particle size distributions of fine particles, and a comparison between oxy-combustion technology and post combustion technology in regard to mercury behaviour.

Post combustion carbon capture: thermodynamic modelling
Post combustion carbon capture: thermodynamic modelling

19th February 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture

This report provides a methodology for the independent validation of impacts on plant performance and inputs for retrofitting post-combustion capture (PCC) technology. The methodology can also be readily applied to green-field sites. It will also provide the foundation for the valuation of performance risks and potential revenue impacts on facility operation. The report uses a case study based on a 5000 tpd PCC retrofit at the Loy Yang A power station to develop and explain the methodology and presents results from the case study.
Importantly, both the methodology and results described in this report have been peer reviewed by a leading CCS capture technology expert who found the methodology to be a sound approach in providing performance data and in protecting technology vendor intellectual property whilst at the same time providing sufficient confidence to the wider CCS community in being able to evaluate a project.

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Public engagement

This report presents the discussions and conclusions reached at a workshop of the European CCS Demonstration Project Network in September 2012 – examining the messaging, tools used and the language used to communicate about CCS. This report seeks to complement and follow on from the report from May 2012 by the same group, which examined the perceived risks and stakeholder profiles that these messages, and messengers, serve and address.

CO2 storage atlas: Norwegian Sea
CO2 storage atlas: Norwegian Sea

5th February 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage

The Norwegian Sea may be able to store 5.5 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2). This is more than 100 times Norway’s total CO2 discharge in 2012. The CO2 storage atlas of the Norwegian Sea has been prepared by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, at the request of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The studied areas are in opened parts of the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). The main objectives have been to identify the safe and effective areas for long-term storage of CO2 and to avoid possible negative interference with ongoing and future petroleum activity. This study is based on detailed work on all relevant geological formations and hydrocarbon fields in the Norwegian Sea. The work is based on several studies as well as data from more than 40 years of petroleum activity on the Norwegian continental shelf. A new geological study of the coastal-near aquifers in the Norwegian Sea, is included. A study of the CO2 storage potential in relevant dry-drilled structures and mapped structures in the area is provided, together with a summary of the CO2 storage potential in oil and gas fields. CO2 storage in enhanced oil recovery projects is also discussed. The methodology applied for estimating storage capacity is based on previous assessments, but the storage efficiency factor has been assessed individually for each aquifer based on simplified reservoir simulation cases. The assessed aquifers have been ranked according to guidelines developed for the CO2 storage atlas of the Norwegian part of the North Sea (2011).

Convective mixing in geological storage of CO2
Convective mixing in geological storage of CO2

1st February 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage

Numerical simulations are an essential tool for assessing the long-term storage of CO2 in saline aquifers. However, the robustness of the numerical predictions is dependent on accurately capturing the essential physical processes involved. One of the most significant results obtained through numerical simulations is the partitioning of CO2 into various immobile phases, particularly the amount immobilised at residual saturation and the amount that has dissolved into the resident formation water. In this report, a review of the current body of knowledge concerning convective mixing of CO2 in saline aquifers is presented, and plans for future research to address the gaps and shortcomings is described.
