Capturing the world’s thinking around carbon emissions

The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme is at the forefront of CCS research. We advance technology that reduces carbon emissions and accelerates the deployment of CCS projects by improving processes, reducing costs, and overcoming barriers.

We are a technology collaboration programme (TCP) of the International Energy Agency. Together, the TCPs mission is to work with governments and industries around the world to advance the research, development and commercialisation of energy technologies.

Technical Report

Geological Storage of CO₂: Seal Integrity Review

10 September 2024
Storage

This comprehensive seal integrity review, undertaken by CO₂CRC on behalf of IEAGHG, provides a detailed, updated exploration of the critical aspects of seal potential in the context of the geological storage of CO₂.

Technical Review

Insurance Coverage for CO₂ Storage Projects

16 August 2024
Industry Insights
Storage

This report is a focused review of recent developments regarding insurance coverage for carbon dioxide (CO₂) geological storage projects. It seeks to address the following: what companies are offering or planning to offer insurance to CO₂ storage projects, what is the scope and duration of the coverage offered, and does coverage extend to the transportation of CO₂ to the project site? This work and report was prepared by Franz Hiebert.

Technical Report

Managing the transition of depleted oil and gas fields to CO₂ storage

12 August 2024
Policy & Regulation
Storage

This work provides a careful and thorough exploration of the major issues involved in the transfer of use of a field from hydrocarbon extraction to CO₂ storage, to identify both the pros and cons of such a transition.

Technical Review

CO₂ Storage Site Catalogue

8 August 2024
Storage

This Technical Review provides an overview of 22 CO₂ storage sites from around the world. These include CO₂-EOR, commercial scale storage sites and a number of pilot and demonstration storage sites in both depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline reservoirs. Its primary aim is to provide a convenient source of collated information with a specific focus on technical information that are in the public domain.

Technical Report

Power CCS: Potential for cost reductions and improvements

5 August 2024
Capture
Costs of CCUS

CCS, in the context of power CCS technologies, will be an essential component of the portfolio of technologies required to reach net-zero emissions in the power sector. This study explores the potential to reduce the cost and accelerate the uptake of power CCS technologies.
