Evaluation and analysis of the performance of dehydration units for CO₂ capture

1 April 2014
Capture
Transport

The purpose of the study is to examine the characteristics of the various dehydration processes and the way they can be best integrated into the CCS system. Moisture in CO2 can lead to corrosion and hydrate formation. It is necessary to dehydrate CO2 streams prior to transporting the product in carbon steel pipelines. Several different types of CO2 capture processes exist. The type selected for use is dependent upon the basic type of combustion process in operation, e.g. coal or natural gas. The CO2 produced by the various combustion and associated capture processes is of different quality, containing different inerts and impurities, with varying compositions and conditions. The dehydration process can be significantly affected by these differences; it was therefore necessary to consider the different types of capture process separately within this study.

Evaluation of Reclaimer Sludge Disposal from CO₂ PCC Process

1 March 2014
Capture

In this study different solvent reclaiming technologies were evaluated for two reference power plants: Supercritical Pulverised Coal (SCPC) and Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) at their respective gross power outputs (900 and 810 MWe, respectively). A low sulphur Australian coal was used for SCPC case. A selective catalytic removal (SCR) unit is assumed upstream of the CO₂ capture unit for both the coal and natural gas power plants. In addition a wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit and a sodium hydroxide polishing unit , is located upstream of the CO₂ capture unit in the coal-fired power plant thus reducing the SOx concentration to 10 ppmv or less .

IEAGHG OPEC Report of Workshop on CCS and CDM

1 December 2013
Policy & Regulation

This report outlines the discussions and outcomes from a workshop jointly held by the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D implementing agreement (IEAGHG) and the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on the topic of “Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in the UN Clean Development Mechanism”. The workshop was the latest in a series of activities by IEAGHG in supporting CCS in the CDM. The objective of the workshop was to share knowledge amongst IEAGHG technical experts and OPEC secretariat and member country delegates, and enhance the understanding amongst all participants of the issues, challenges and approaches to developing CCS projects under the UNs clean development mechanism (CDM) with a focus on OPEC member countries

Deployment of CCS in the Cement Industry

1 December 2013
Capture

The study focuses on the following tasks: 1. Review current practice in energy efficiency improvement and fuel and clinker substitution practices in relation to reduction of CO₂ emissions in the cement sector. 2. Engage with key stakeholders with the aim of identifying the key barriers to the demonstration of CCS in the cement sector. 3. Review the current state of development of potential CCS technologies evaluated for the cement industry, particularly oxyfuel and post-combustion capture and review current CCS activities initiated and led by the cement industry. 4. Review policy and government initiatives to support the application of CCS to the cement sector

Methodologies and Technologies for Mitigation of Undesired CO₂ Migration in the Subsurface

1 December 2013
Storage

The driver behind this study is to develop a report built on the on the previous IEAGHG report on methods of leakage mitigation (2007/11). The proposed study should focus on current mitigation and remediation methods that may be applied or considered in site specific conditions in the event of unpredicted CO₂ migration. Each geological storage site will have an adaptive site specific monitoring plan, based on a risk assessment. Detection of a significant irregularity may involve supplementing the monitoring program, in order to detect a possible leak and if necessary engaging mitigation measures

Summary report of the IEAGHG Modelling Network and the Risk Management Network Meeting

1 November 2013
Event Proceedings
Storage

The three day event consisted of a day dedicated to modelling applications; a second day covering a variety of risk management issues and a final day where topics involving both topics were discussed. The meeting was preceded by visits to the SINTEF research facility in Trondheim and the CO2 pipeline test facility at the Statoil Rotvoll site. During the visit to SINTEFF delegates were shown lab-scale development of new solvents for CO2 capture and an oxy-fuel combustion test rig.

Monitoring Network and Environmental Research Network – Combined Meeting

1 November 2013
Event Proceedings
Storage

From the 27th to 30th August CO₂CRC hosted this meeting of two of IEAGHG’s Networks, the 8th meeting of the Monitoring Network and the 4th meeting of the Environmental Research Network. The theme of the meeting was ‘Realistic monitoring of CO₂ migration – from the reservoir to the surface’, and was attended by 80 delegates from 12 countries. The latest developments and research were presented in sessions covering the regulatory environment, monitoring migration from the reservoir, migration of fluids through the overburden, detection of leakage into shallow groundwater, terrestrial detection monitoring and environmental impacts, marine detection monitoring and environmental impacts, andthe complexity of the natural system and implications for quantification.

Information Sheets for CCS

1 November 2013
Industry Insights

This report was originally intended to be 14 standalone information sheets on the many aspects of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). The information sheets have been combined in one document to produce this report but it is recommended that the standalone original sheets are used primarily. These are available to download as separate files on the IEAGHG website

UK FEED Studies – A Summary

1 October 2013
Industry Insights

A key aim of the FEED was thus to assist in selection of a winning project but the participants were also required to narrow the range of projected costs and clearly identify the cost risks and establish upper and lower limits. DECC also had the intention of making results public to enhance learning and information exchange. Initially 9 consortia entered projects into the competition but only two proceeded into the FEED phase. One of these withdrew before the full FEED was developed so some elements of this FEED are less well developed.

The Process of Developing a CO₂ Test Injection Experience

1 October 2013
Storage

This study does not intend to redo work already carried out, but to produce an over-arching document, which follows the process of setting up a test injection. This document would identify gaps in best practice guides as well as point readers towards available information. The document produced would order the steps and processes that the user would need to go through during the management of the test injection; from scoping of the project (including success criteria), site selection, planning, injection and closure. Many of the steps will happen simultaneously, but an order can still be established along with an expected timeline. This would be broad enough to allow for different permitting and legal processes in different countries as well as different site specific technical issues.

Technical Review

Review of CO₂ storage in low perm strata

1 October 2013
Storage

This review has summarised a detailed assessment of South Africa’s geological storage potential which is the most comprehensive for a country with both conventional and alternative (low permeability) options. The relevance of the experimental Longyearbyen site has been reviewed partly because of its relevance to South Africa. Brief consideration of India and South Korea has also been included because they too face the dilemma of limited, or unproven, alternatives to large scale conventional reservoirs.
