Global storage portfolio: a global assessment of the geological CO2 storage resource potential
1st March 2016
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
The primary purpose of the Institute’s Global Storage Portfolio is to collate and summarise published regional assessments of key nations. The Portfolio also summarises key data on a nation’s readiness to host a commercial, large-scale project. For this reason, only proven storage scenarios including deep saline formations (DSF), depleted/depleting oil and gas fields (DGOF) and enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR) are considered. The analysis has found that:
- Substantial storage resources are present in most key regions of the world.
- Reliable methodologies to determine and classify regional storage resources are available and have been widely applied, although there is no formally recognised international standard.
- The level of resource assessment undertaken and the availability of characterisation data is highly variable across regions.
- The level of detail a regional resource assessment has progressed as well as the policy, legal and regulatory frameworks are key criteria that can be used to gauge the readiness of any given nation to deploy a CCS project.
The storage resources are grouped into five regions:
- Asia-Pacific (fourteen countries)
- Americas (five countries)
- Middle East (three countries)
- Europe and Russia (EU plus three countries)
- Africa (four countries).
The resulting portfolio will enable the reader to rapidly establish a snapshot of a country’s storage resource and potential to deploy a large-scale project.

Learnings from GDF SUEZ Hazelwood carbon capture and utilisation pilot project
25th February 2016
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture, Engineering and project delivery
The Hazelwood Carbon Capture and Utilisation Pilot Project enabled one of the largest post-combustion carbon capture plants to be installed on a coal-fired power station in Australia. While it is only a pilot scale demonstration plant, this project has strategic significance to the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Australia. Valuable experiences have been achieved through ‘learning by doing’, including funding, management, training, equipment, operation etc. The report endeavours to share those experiences and knowledge.
Knowledge sharing is a key objective of the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute (the Institute). A key goal of the Institute is to work with industry partners to share knowledge acquired in the implementation of CCS projects. This report is a collaboration between GDF SUEZ Australian Energy, the operator of the Hazelwood Power Station, and the Institute.

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, CO2 utilisation
To promote the development of CCS in China, the Global CCS Institute and China National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) held a joint carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) workshop in Yan’An China in July 2013. Out of this collaboration the Global CCS Institute has commissioned Yanchang Petroleum Group to produce four knowledge-sharing reports on its integrated CCS project.
This second report of the series discusses the storage aspects of Yanchang Petroleum CCUS Project. It highlights project achievements and lessons learned from the project.
Christopher Consoli, Institute Senior Adviser for Storage, Asia-Pacific provides an overview of this report in an Insight available on the Global CCS Institute website.

Closing the gap on climate: why CCS is a vital part of the solution
17th December 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Domestic policy, Policy law and regulation
The ENGO Network on CCS actively advocates for policies that will lead to the rapid uptake of low carbon technologies and climate change mitigation strategies.
Following the Network's 2012 paper, this work re-examines the role of CCS as a technology traditionally perceived as specific to coal-fired power generation, but whose value is now widely recognised as much broader: in the decarbonisation of power generation fuelled by natural gas, in the industrial sector, and in the increased focus on removing carbon from the atmosphere through bio-CCS.
