Accelerating the uptake of CCS: industrial use of captured carbon dioxide
Accelerating the uptake of CCS: industrial use of captured carbon dioxide

20th December 2011

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

The fundamental purpose of this report is to investigate existing and emerging uses of CO2 and to review the potential to capture and reuse CO2for industrial applications in order to accelerate the development and commercial deployment of CCS. It considers both the near-term application of mature technologies such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and the longer term application of a number of promising new technologies that are still in the initial stages of their technical development.

Effects of impurities on geological storage of CO2
Effects of impurities on geological storage of CO2

1st July 2011

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

This study provides a review of existing information and published research on the potential impact of CO2 waste stream purity on storage engineering and associated costs. A range of storage scenarios are considered, including deep saline aquifer formations, depleted gas fields and CO2-EOR schemes, although the study focuses primarily on deep saline formations since this scenario has the largest theoretical storage capacity and the most significant potential for complex geological reactions.

Particular aspects considered include:

  • the potential effects of impurities on behaviour and storage capacity calculations;
  • effects on the rate of geochemical reactions with both formations and caprock associated buoyant forces and trapping mechanisms;
  • potential effects on injectivity, reservoir permeability and caprock integrity both near well-bore and deeper in the formation; and
  • potential for corrosion of well components and estimated impacts on system reliability if not mitigated.

Global technology roadmap for CCS in industry. Sectoral assessment: CO2 enhanced oil recovery
Global technology roadmap for CCS in industry. Sectoral assessment: CO2 enhanced oil recovery

5th May 2011

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

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the International Energy Agency are developing a Global Technology Roadmap for CCS in Industry (the Roadmap), due to be released mid–year. The project has been sponsored by the Global CCS Institute and the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.

The Roadmap will be a valuable resource to stakeholders, including policy makers and regulators across the globe. Targeted at policymakers, the Roadmap will be a high-level assessment of the key actions and milestones that need to be undertaken to develop CCS in industry.

The following in-depth, technical sectoral assessments have been undertaken to inform the direction of the Roadmap:

  • biomass;
  • high-purity;
  • iron and steel;
  • refineries;
  • cement; and
  • enhanced oil recovery.

CCSの採用を促進する:回収CO2の工業利用
CCSの採用を促進する:回収CO2の工業利用

1st March 2011

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

本報告書の基本目的は、CO2回収貯留(CCS)の開発及び商用規模での実施を促進するためにCO2の既存及び新たな利用法を調査し、工業分野におけるCO2の回収と再利用の可能性を検討することである。本報告書では、石油増進回収(EOR)などの成熟技術の近い将来の利用及び技術開発の初期段階にあるいくつかの有望な新技術の将来的な利用の両方について検討する。
世界のCO2再利用に関する市場規模は、現在約8千万トン/年であり、北米のEOR需要がその大半を占める。EORの年間CO2需要量は約5千万トンで、そのうち年間4千万トン前後はCO2貯留層から自然に産するCO2が供給されており、その価格は通常約15~19米ドル/トンである。
人為起源CO2の潜在的供給量は、潜在的需要量よりもはるかに大きい。世界で年間約5億トンの低コスト(20米ドル/トン未満)・高濃度のCO2が、天然ガス処理、肥料プラント及びその他の工業排出源の副産物として利用可能である。高コストではあるが(50~100米ドル/トン)、発電所、製鉄所及びセメント工場から現在排出されている希釈CO2流から、年間約180億トンを回収できる。
CO2のEORへの再利用は、既存の北米のCCSプロジェクトの収益源であり、EORは北米の多くのCCSプロジェクトの計画に盛り込まれている。世界各地、特に新興国及び発展途上国では、CCS開発の経済的な触媒として、EORの可能性が検討されている。本報告書で検討する重要な課題は、EOR及びその他のCO2の再利用技術がCCSの採用とその商業展開を促進できるのかどうかの是非及びその程度である。
再利用のための高濃度CO2の将来的な供給量及び市場価格は、政府によるCO2排出に対する規制又は罰則の適用の程度に大きく影響される。したがって、本報告書ではCO2の再利用がCCSの開発を促進する可能性について、炭素規制及び炭素価格が弱い場合並びにそれらが強い場合の双方の状況下における、CO2回収コストの高低とそれらの状況との関係について検討している。

Role of enhanced oil recovery in accelerating the deployment of carbon capture and sequestration
Role of enhanced oil recovery in accelerating the deployment of carbon capture and sequestration

23rd July 2010

Topic(s): CO2 utilisation

On July 23, 2010, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas (UT-BEG) co-hosted a symposium on the Role of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in Accelerating the Deployment of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). The motivation for the symposium lies with the convergence of two national energy priorities: enhancement of domestic oil production through increased tertiary recovery; establishment of large-scale CCS as an enabler for continued coal use in a future carbon-constrained world. These security and environmental goals can both be advanced by utilizing the carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from coal (and natural gas) combustion for EOR, but many questions remain about the efficacy and implementation of such a program at large scale. The symposium aimed to lay out the issues and to explore what might be an appropriate government role.

CO2 storage in depleted oilfields: global application criteria for carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery
CO2 storage in depleted oilfields: global application criteria for carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery

21st December 2009

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

The main aim of the study was to reassess the likely future potential storage capacity for CO2 in depleted oil fields as part of EOR operations across the world. The study also aimed to identify the key technical, economic and regulatory barriers that may be preventing widespread application of CO2-EOR globally as a means of providing an early opportunity for CO2 storage.

Previous IEA GHG studies estimated the global storage potential in depleted oil and gas fields as up to 1,000Gt CO2, 120Gt of which could be stored in association with CO2-EOR operations. Although therefore providing lower potential capacity than both deep saline formations and gas fields, depleted oilfields still constitute a valuable storage resource with extensive repositories of data and knowledge. Storage operations in oil fields would generally be smaller in scale compared to gas fields and aquifers, but the economic and commercial benefits of utilising CO2 for EOR could in theory provide an immediate driver for implementation of such projects, particularly in a period of high global oil prices. The stimulus of high oil process has led to the increasing development of CO2 flood operations in recent years, including at the Weyburn oil field in Canada which has extended the profitability of that field for the operator Encana.

IEA GHG thus identified CO2-EOR operations as an early opportunity for CO2 storage in 2002. However despite developments like those in the Permian Basin, midcontinental and Gulf Coast USA, and at Weyburn, wide scale global development of CO2-EOR has not occurred in spite of current high oil prices. Furthermore, a majority of existing CO2-EOR schemes have not been designed with CO2 storage as an objective. The aim of this study is to understand why this early opportunity for CO2 storage has not been realised and when or if this might occur.
