The study tried to be as comprehensive as possible but to limit the scale of the study some compromises had to be made. The study was based on global requirements and essentially used a high level approach and did not consider regional differences in skills, manufacturing bases etc., The study considered the full CCS chain, i.e. capture, compression, transport and storage of CO2 but excluded the power/industry equipment prior to the capture plant.
To gain an understanding of the magnitude of the transport and storage operations, the contractor compared the amount of captured and stored CO2 in the CCS Roadmap with the annual production of crude oil and natural gas. After 2045, the CO2 transport and injection capacity must be larger than the total transport and extraction capacity for oil and gas production. CCS shares part of the supply chain with the oil and gas sector; labour (e.g. experienced geo-scientists) and large facilities (e.g. ships, platforms and drilling rigs). Substantial competition between CCS industry and the oil and gas industry can be expected (especially in the field of transport and storage).
Our authoritative, peer-reviewed publications cover topics that include carbon capture, transport, storage, monitoring, regulation, and more.
