CCS in the Baltic Sea Region – Bastor 2. Work package 2: knowledge about environmental impact
2nd April 2015
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
The objective of this study is to document current knowledge, hazards and risks on environmental impacts in a possible future CCS project in the offshore Baltic Sea Area. Another purpose is to also present a tentative EIA work plan for a field trial project as scoped out in Chapter 2. Further, the intention is to add new knowledge, if possible, to what is already known or applicable to CCS activities in the offshore Baltic Sea Area.
Yggdrasil Miljömanagement AB, together with panaware ab, were commissioned by Elforsk AB to document current knowledge about environmental impacts in the light of a possible CCS field trial project in the offshore Baltic Sea Area. This report is part of the project Bastor2 (Baltic Storage of CO2), with the overriding objective to assess the opportunities and conditions for CO2 sequestration in the region. The project, which ran from June 2012 through September 2014, was financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and the Global CCS Institute in collaboration with a number of Swedish industrial and energy companies.

Zoback and Gorelick paper: unreliable conclusions
3rd August 2012
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
The CO2Geonet Network of Excellence, based on extensive studies and scientific literature on CO2 geological storage including seismic risk, states that the technology can be deployed in a safe and efficient manner to reduce CO2 emissions. They support the importance of a thorough research for each location in order to determine whether it is suitable for CO2 storage, both from a safety perspective and from the climate issue. Although Zoback and Gorelick describe a process that may eventually lead to the release of CO2, this and many other scenarios all form an integral part of any correct geological storage site-selection process.

How Australians value water: results from a literature review
1st June 2012
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
This intends to inform the reader of values and meanings relating to water in Australia, how these values break down by demographic group, and previous successes and failures in involving Australian communities in water-related decision making. In doing so, it aims to support mutual understanding and effective two-way engagement between the carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry and Australian communities, given that CCS, as an energy technology has potential impacts on water resources.

Mountaineer commercial scale carbon capture and storage project: draft environmental impact statement summary
1st February 2011
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) provides information about the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Mountaineer Commercial Scale Carbon Capture and Storage Project which would use a chilled ammonia process (CAP) technology to capture approximately 90 percent of the CO2 from a 235-megawatt portion of AEP’s existing 1,300-MW Mountaineer Plant flue gas exhaust.

Environmental evaluation of CCS using life cycle ssessment (LCA)
1st May 2010
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
This is a useful synthesis report which can serve as starting point for a more ordered approach to applying life cycle assessment to carbon dioxide capture and storage. The scope of this study is to compare systematically the different approaches of fifteen LCA studies, to summarise the results, show the site specific differences, address methodological variations and formulate guidelines to assign the various conclusions gathered from the studies.

Safety in carbon dioxide capture, transport and storage
1st September 2009
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
This study was contracted to the UK Governments main Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) which has become involved in a number of issues relating to safety in CCS projects.
The study has been specifically designed to examine the saftey issues which are likely to arise when preparing saftey cases and planning emergency procedures for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) projects.
The study found that the industry has sufficient experience in its totality, some of it very extensive, to conduct CCS operations safely, however, unless this information can consistently be made freely available and accessible where it is needed, the safety of CCS systems may be jeopardized.

Carbon dioxide storage: geological security and environmental issues. Case study on the Sleipner gas field in Norway
1st May 2007
Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), Health, safety and environment
The Sleipner project is a commercial CO2 injection project and proved that CO2 capture and storage is a technically feasible and effective method for greenhouse mitigation. It further demonstrates that CO2 storage is both safe and has a low environmental impact. Monitoring is needed for a wide variety of purposes. Specifically, to ensure and document the injection process, verify the quantity of injected CO2 that has been stored by various mechanisms, demonstrate with appropriate monitoring techniques that CO2 remains contained in the intended storage formation(s). This is currently the principal method for assuring that the CO2 remains stored and that performance predictions can be verified.
