CO₂ Capture in the Cement Industry

  • 1 July 2008
  • Capture

The scope of the study was to: Provide descriptions of cement plants and the global cement industry; Review CO₂ capture processes that would be suitable for cement plants; Evaluate the performance and economics of cement plants with and without CO₂ capture; Discuss retrofitting CO₂ capture and CO₂ capture ready plants; Identify information gaps and R&D needs.

2nd Expert Meeting on Financing CCS Projects

  • 1 July 2008
  • Costs of CCUS
  • Event Proceedings

The main purpose of the conference was to provide a clearer picture of the options available to finance CCS projects in North America and to increase the involvement of experts from the financial sector in discussion about possible financial instrument options for CCS. The ultimate outcome of this work will be to identify, encourage and develop world-wide collaboration and practical development of financial mechanisms to accelerate the progression of CCS projects from R&D to commercial reality. The objectives of the meeting were to explore the options of: <!-- wp:acf/columns {"name":"acf/columns","data":{"padding_top":"1","_padding_top":"field_columns_fields_padding_top","padding_bottom":"1","_padding_bottom":"field_columns_fields_padding_bottom","margin_top":"0","_margin_top":"field_columns_fields_margin_top","margin_bottom":"0","_margin_bottom":"field_columns_fields_margin_bottom"},"mode":"preview"} --> <!-- wp:acf/column-content {"name":"acf/column-content","mode":"preview"} --> <!-- wp:list --><ul> <!-- wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><li>Identifying key drivers on financing CCS projects in North America by the financial sector.</li><!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><li>Contributing to building financial mechanisms for deployment of CCS projects</li><!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><li>Gaining access to financial information relevant for all major stakeholders such as industry, insurance companies, Government and investors in CCS projects</li><!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><li>Use of futures, derivatives and insurance markets to reduce financial risks of CCS deployment</li><!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><li>Improving the awareness of the status of CCS technology for the financial community.</li><!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><li>Use of insurance to address the financial risks of CCS demonstration plants</li><!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- /wp:list-item --> </ul><!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/column-content --> <!-- /wp:acf/columns -->

International Network for CO₂ Capture: Report on 11th Workshop

  • 1 July 2008
  • Capture
  • Event Proceedings

This workshop was the eleventh in a series to discuss co-operation in development of MEA and other solvents and associated techniques to capture CO₂ from power plant flue gases. The previous events were, in Gaithersburg, Calgary, Apeldoorn, Kyoto, Pittsburgh, Trondheim, Vancouver, Austin, Copenhagen, and Lyon

Technical Report

An Assessment of the Potential for CO₂ Storage in the Indian Subcontinent

  • 1 May 2008
  • Storage

This project aims to: Update the IEAGHG R&D programme CO₂ sources database with all the major current and planned industrial sources of CO₂ in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (the updated CO₂ sources database is available from the IEAGHG R&D Programme); Identify the CO₂ storage capacity of each of these three countries in oil and gas fields and coal seams and ranks the sedimentary basins in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in terms of their saline aquifer CO₂ storage potential (sedimentary basins north of the frontal thrusts of the Himalayas were not investigated); Identify the local costs of the main elements of the CO₂ capture and storage chain, such that they could be used to produce marginal CO₂ abatement cost curves in a future project; Provide a geological CO₂ storage potential GIS of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

3rd Risk Assessment Network Meeting Report

  • 1 March 2008
  • Event Proceedings
  • Storage

The purpose of the network is to bring together the key groups working on risk assessment for CO₂ storage from around the world and to address what the regulators are expecting in regard to CCS assurance and whether risk assessment can provide the answers they require. This report provides a summary of the third risk assessment workshop hosted by Imperial College in London, UK between the 15th and 16th August 2007.

Technical Report

Assessment of Sub Sea Ecosystem Impacts

  • 1 March 2008
  • Storage

This report looks at the potential impacts of leaks from a subsea CO₂ storage project.It addresses the use of natural analogues, and estimates the relevance of potential CO₂ storage leaks against the effects from natural analogues. It highlights knowledge gaps that exist, and also indicates any species that could be particularly vulnerable to CO₂ leaks from storage operations.

Technical Report

4th Monitoring Network Meeting

  • 1 March 2008
  • Event Proceedings
  • Storage

This is the 4th meeting of the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) Monitoring Network. Since the inception of the Monitoring Network a significant amount of work has been done in this field. There are now a great number of very elaborate CCS demonstration projects occurring worldwide with each one developing and testing new monitoring techniques. While this is happening there is also a great drive from many Governments to put in place the regulations needed to properly licence and supervise CCS activities. This meeting hoped to review where we are with both aspects of CCS and identify what questions still need to be answered.

Technical Report

2nd Meeting of the Oxy-Fuel Network

  • 1 November 2007
  • Capture
  • Event Proceedings

The aim of this Network for Oxy-Fuel Combustion is to provide an international forum for organisations with interest in the development of Oxy-Fuel Combustion Technology to discuss various issues relevant to the development of the technology.

Technical Report

Improved Oxygen Production Technologies

  • 1 October 2007
  • Capture

This report includes descriptions of cryogenic and membrane oxygen production processes, their components and their integration into power generation and synthesis gas production processes with CO₂ capture. Recent and potential future improvements in these oxygen production processes are discussed.The report was written by a consultant, Rodney Allam, formerly of Air Products. The report does not include information from confidential sources.

Technical Report

Distributed Collection of CO₂

  • 1 September 2007
  • Capture
  • Transport

This study examines the design issues and costs of collecting CO₂ captured from multiple distributed sources down to quantities of 5000 tpa. It includes a spreadsheet model for sizing pipelines in a branched collection network with multiple pressure levels. This model also estimates overall collection costs including those for compression using unit costs for construction in the UK.

2nd Meeting of the Risk Assessment Network

  • 1 August 2007
  • Event Proceedings
  • Storage

The meeting continued the progress made at launch network meeting in developing our understanding of the status of risk assessment in its application to CCS and developing the role that risk assessment can play.
