Global storage portfolio: a global assessment of the geological CO2 storage resource potential
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:

  1. Asia-Pacific (fourteen countries)
  2. Americas (five countries)
  3. Middle East (three countries)
  4. Europe and Russia (EU plus three countries)
  5. 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.

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.

Carbon capture and storage: the Lacq pilot. Project and injection period 2006-2013
Carbon capture and storage: the Lacq pilot. Project and injection period 2006-2013

15th September 2015

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Engineering and project delivery

This publication describes Total’s Lacq CCS pilot demonstration project. The pilot project entailed the conversion of an existing air-fired boiler to a 30 MWth oxy-combustion boiler that produced a flue gas with a high CO2 content. The project’s aim was to test the complete chain of capture, transport and storage of purified and compressed CO2, integrated within the infrastructure of the Lacq industrial platform.

The publication includes technical and geological content, environmental impact and risk assessments, monitoring and surveillance data, and a discussion on community outreach. It provides insights for those involved in developing CCS in the future.

Applying carbon capture and storage to a Chinese steel plant
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.

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。

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。
