Feasibility assessment of the options for up-scaling proposed CCS facility
28th August 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 transport
National Grid Carbon (NGC) is developing a carbon dioxide transportation and storage system to support the provision of Carbon Capture and Storage technology in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Initially, this will involve the construction of a cross country pipeline and subsea pipeline for transporting captured CO2 to a permanent storage site in the Bunter sandstone aquifer located within Block 5/42 of the UK sector of the Southern North Sea.
The initial CO2 load is anticipated to be supplied by the Drax power station and will be a maximum of 2.68 Million Tonnes per Annum (MTPA). However, with this load, the utilisation of the proposed CCS facility will be well below its capacity. NGC anticipates a second CO2 load from the Don Valley Power project to enhance the aquifer utilisation. In addition, NGC is also seeking to review potential options for up-scaling the CCS facility by transporting additional CO2 from Rotterdam via ship or pipeline into the proposed injection facility.
DNV GL have been engaged by NGC to carry out a feasibility study to assess two options for up-scaling the proposed carbon capture and storage facilities. Option 1 proposes to transport CO2 from Rotterdam directly to the injection facility in the Southern North Sea (Pipeline Option) whilst Option 2 proposes to transport CO2 by ship from Rotterdam to a reception facility on the River Humber, from where a pipeline will connect into the proposed CCS Cross Country pipeline at Camblesforth multi-junction (Shipping Option).
Three flow rates have been assessed for each option; (A) 2 MTPA, (B) 5 MTPA, and (C) 7.32 MTPA.
The findings and recommendations from this study are presented in this report.

Applying carbon capture and storage to a Chinese steel plant
27th August 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture, Engineering and project delivery
The Global CCS Institute presents a feasibility study report on applying carbon capture and storage (CCS) to a steel plant in China. Toshiba was commissioned to conduct the study through its business partner Tongfang Environment in collaboration with Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel of China. The study examined the application of CCS onto the Caofeidian steel plant.
The report covers the concept of capturing CO2 from a Chinese steel plant, transportation and potential storage in an oilfield for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
The study suggests that carbon capture in Chinese steel plants is a cost effective means of reducing carbon emissions compared with similar plants around the world.
This report is authored by Toshiba for the Global CCS Institute. Tony Zhang, Institute Senior Adviser for Carbon Capture, Asia-Pacific also provides an overview of the report in a new Insight available on the Global CCS Institute website.

2014-15 – CCS의 구심점이 되는 시기
2014년 10월, 캐나다 서스캐처원(Saskatchewan)에 위치한 바운더리 댐(Boundary Dam) 발전소에서는 전력 분야 세계 최초의 대규모 탄소 포집 저장 (CCS) 프로젝트가 시작되었다. 전력 분야에서 두 개의 추가적인 대규모 CCS 프로젝트는 미시시피에 위치한 켐퍼 카운티 에너지 시설(Kemper County Energy Facility)과 텍사스에 위치한 페트라 노바 탄소 포집 프로젝트(Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project)로 각각 2015년과 2016년 가동에 들어갈 것으로 계획 중이다. 철강 분야에서도 세계 최초 대규모 CCS 프로젝트인 아부다비 CCS 프로젝트가 현재 아랍에미리트(UAE)에서 건설 중이다. 이 4개의 프로젝트는 전 세계에서 운전 중이거나 건설 중인 22개의 대규모 CCS 프로젝트 중 하나이며, 이러한 프로젝트 숫자는 2010년대 초에 비해 두 배로 증가한 수치이다.
대규모 CCS 전력 프로젝트가 실현됨에 따라, CCS 기술의 상용화에 있어서 중요한 이정표가 세워졌다. 이는 이제 기후 변화 완화를 위한 저비용 접근 방식의 일환으로 CCS를 가장 잘 상용화할 수 있는 방법에 대한 논의를 시작할 때가 되었음을 의미한다. 우리는 이제 CCS의 ‘실험적’ 특성에 대한 논쟁 또는 CCS가 화석연료 발전소에 대대적으로 적용되지 않고 있다는 논쟁으로부터 벗어날 수 있다.

The costs of CCS and other low-carbon technologies in the United States: 2015 update
27th July 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Economics
This paper examines costs of major low and zero emissions technologies currently available in power generation and compares them in terms of emissions reduction potential and costs. The analysis uses cost and performance data from several recent studies in the United States, and applies a common methodology and economic parameters to derive comparable lifetime costs per generation output and of CO2 avoided.
The analysis demonstrates that CCS is a cost competitive power sector emissions reduction tool when considered among the range of available low and zero emissions technologies. While CCS adds additional costs to traditional fossil fuel generation, the underlying coal and gas generation technology and fuel sources are relatively cheap, and CCS has higher rates of utilisation than some renewables technologies.
This publication updates the 2011 edition of The costs of CCS and other low-carbon technologies.

流动保障与控制理念。鹿特丹捕集与封存示范项目。全球碳捕集与封存研究院特别报告
2nd July 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Engineering and project delivery
如荷兰的ROAD项目，大型CCS示范项目主要挑战之一是安全有效地控制一体化CCS链的二氧化碳流。对于ROAD项目来说，这意味着：从燃煤发电站的烟道气中捕集二氧化碳，压缩并通过一条长25km的管道运输到离岸平台，将其注入到海床下3.5km的废弃储层中。
这份有关ROAD项目的“流动保障和控制理念”的特别报告为在稳定状态、关机和启动状态中一体化CCS链的二氧化碳流的拟定的控制和运行系统提供了一些看法。
尽管之前已经付诸实践，ROAD项目进行的流动保障研究（FAS）清楚地表明了将（非常）低压的储层填充至300巴压强在实践中是可能的，但是必须要研究一下运输系统的物理配置参数的热动力所有方面下的二氧化碳行为。

项目执行策略。ROAD。全球碳捕集与封存研究院特别报告
2nd July 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Engineering and project delivery
随着总公司作出投资决策项目迈出了里程碑式的一步，本报告旨在对该项目的未来之路提出一个纲要。本报告还综述了即将到来的里程碑、相关活动的讨论以及项目执行战略。最终投资决策（FID）之后，将要组成两个连续组织，第一个关注于2015年之前的设计和建设，同时第二个将关注于2015年到2020年间项目的运行。该项目雇佣了来自两个总公司的技术专家，与战略伙伴一起在项目的开发和运行阶段发挥作用。
该项目进度由MPP3建设进度和成本优化所驱动。为了避免MPP3停机处罚，协调工作必须要走上正轨。ROAD关注于成本优化和控制。两个驱动因素都导致了具体建设计划和大型起重机组件的聚集。大型船只和主要压缩机的起重活动起着关键作用。由于大型起重机组件的聚集，成本和项目进度可以大幅压缩。这些主要组件的起重和布置之后，捕集厂就可以装配了。在第二个阶段，运输和封存工作将会是关注的重点。从前端设计阶段开始，更为详尽的设计让ROAD减少了不确定性。本报告讨论了施工、融资、调度、利益相关者参与和许可等执行阶段的风险。缓和风险的措施日渐地降低了项目意外开支。项目意外开支因不稳定的市场价格、工程细节状态、规划的不确定性和其他事件而显现出来。前端工程设计研究使得意外成本支出从总资本支出的25%（FEED前）减少到10%（FEED后）。施工阶段剩下的主要风险是与MPP3的联络、及时签署的捕集厂建设EPC合同、和意外支出风险与运输和封存链的商业磋商。此外，许可和利益相关者管理是注意的焦点。NGO或者地方组织对发放许可的反对或者上诉可能导致调度问题。
项目预算是由公司的组织结构控制，预算在项目办公司和管理、利益相关者管理、捕集、最后还有运输和封存中间分配。预算在整个项目周期中被分割成两个阶段：设计和施工阶段（2010-2014）和运行阶段（2015-2019）。进入运行阶段之后，已经制定出了厂退役和封存点监测的相关规定。考虑到风险的可能性和确定的减排措施，在ROAD的概率模型中，FID延期的调度风险也可能显现出来。请注意，本报告仅仅强调ROAD项目执行策略的主要方面。

Relative permeability for multi-phase flow in CO2 storage reservoirs. Part II: resolving fundamental issues and filling data gaps
30th June 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
This report, prepared for the Global CCS Institute by a consortium of research organisations led by Stanford University, presents an assessment of fundamental issues pertaining to the relative permeability of brine and carbon dioxide (CO2) systems. This research follows an earlier report published by the Institute in August 2013 which provided an overview of this topic and highlighted knowledge gaps.
Relative permeability is an important factor in determining the fate and transport of CO2 over the lifetime of a storage project. To date only limited information on this critical factor has been available, much of which is summarised in the 2013 report. This report addresses key gaps in knowledge and data related to CO2 storage in saline formations.

Strategies for injection of CO2 into carbonate rocks at Hontomin: final technical report
29th June 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
This is a technical report examining the different strategies used for injection of CO2 into Carbonate Rocks at the Hontomin CO2 Storage Project in North West Spain. The report is authored by the CO2 injection team at CIUDEN (or Fundación Ciudad de la Energía – Spain's publicly funded energy research foundation), in collaboration with the Ground Water Hydrology Group of UPC-CSIC Barcelona.
The report aims to give an overview of current thinking around CO2, carbonate rocks and their interaction, before going into detailed description of the various CO2 injection strategies employed at the Hontomin test injection site.
A summary of the literature on CO2 thermodynamics, and a high level overview of the large volumes of literature on carbonate rocks and their interactions is provided, along with analysis of the performance and interpretation of simulation models and laboratory tests on the dynamics of CO2 injection and storage in carbonate rocks.
The report goes on to describe strategies for CO2 injection into carbonate formations, specifically focusing on:
- Push-pull tests
- Supercritical injection
- Liquid phase injection
- Pulsed (intermittent) injection
For each strategy, the shape and size of the CO2 plume and operational conditions for low permeability formations, are analysed. Mechanical stability issues are also discussed. It is hoped that the publication of these results from the Hontomin test injections, will contribute to the development of key site characterization techniques and the improvement of modelling approaches and field scale tests for evaluation of different CO2 injection strategies.
This report is published in connection with a further technical report from the CIUDEN team in Hontomin - Hontomin Reservoir characterization tests – and to a suite of bilingual community outreach and education initiatives created and delivered in the communities around the Hontomin site before, during and after construction of the injection site.
