Aquifer Storage – Development Issues

1 November 2008
Storage

The aim of this study was to bring together and review the research that has been undertaken in Europe, North America, Japan and Australia, to develop an understanding of how knowledge on deep saline aquifers has developed in recent years, in particular since the 2005 IPCC Special Report on CO₂ Capture and Storage (IPCC SRCCS). Emphasis was placed on the identification of knowledge gaps and priority areas for R&D activities.

Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in the Clean Development Mechanism: Assessing market effects of inclusion

1 November 2008
Industry Insights
Policy & Regulation

This report provides analysis on the potential impacts that inclusion of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) as a clean development mechanism (CDM) project activity could have on the global carbon market. It has been undertaken in response to concerns raised about the possibility that CCS inclusion could result in the flooding of the carbon market with certified emission reduction (CERs) from CCS project activities, given the enormous scale of emission reductions potentially achievable.

Novel Approaches to Improving the Performance of Carbon Dioxide Capture

1 September 2008
Capture

The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) thus elected to undertake a study search for innovative new avenues for CO₂ capture which might lead to significant improvements in the cost of capture technology and reductions in the energy penalty. The brief was to search outside traditional fields of enquiry and break away from a classical Chemical Engineering process based approach.

4th Meeting of the Wellbore Integrity Network Meeting

1 August 2008
Event Proceedings
Storage

The broad aims of the network remain unchanged, and they are: To provide confidence to all stakeholders that the mechanisms involved with maintaining wellbores are understood. That the safety of storage, specifically in relation to wellbores, can be ensured because the risks can be identified and minimised. That wellbores can be monitored for early signs of leakage and remediated as necessary. The meeting also had some specific aims identified in the conclusions from the 3rd meeting, and these included: Investigating the contrast between field and lab results. Updating the advances in technologies and understanding, as was seen between the 2nd and 3rd meetings. Continued investigation of the advancements made in the modelling of wellbores and the reactions between CO₂ and wellbore materials.

Production of Hydrogen and Electricity with CO₂ Capture – Updated Economic Analysis

1 August 2008
Capture
Costs of CCUS

Costs of building power generation plants in general and fuel prices have increased rapidly in recent times. This report provides information on costs of electricity and hydrogen production by coal gasification with CO₂ capture on a 2nd quarter 2008 basis. This is an update of information presented in IEA GHG report 2007/13.

Technical Report

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: Identifying key drivers on financing CCS projects in North America by the financial sector. Contributing to building financial mechanisms for deployment of CCS projects Gaining access to financial information relevant for all major stakeholders such as industry, insurance companies, Government and investors in CCS projects Use of futures, derivatives and insurance markets to reduce financial risks of CCS deployment Improving the awareness of the status of CCS technology for the financial community. Use of insurance to address the financial risks of CCS demonstration plants

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

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.

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.

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.
