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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The primary purpose of this study is the evaluation of the technologies and the process alternatives that can be used in these complex power and hydrogen generation schemes to optimise efficiency and capital cost and reduce, at the same time, emissions to the atmosphere.Use of hydrogen storage is considered to match the hydrogen demand.
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.
The aim of this study was to assess the extent of information currently available on the effects of CO₂ seepage on on-shore ecosystems. The objective of the study was to assess what gaps in knowledge exist and what further research needs to be commissioned to address these gaps. The need for this study was first identified by the International Research Network on Risk Assessment in 2005 (for further information, please see www.co2captureandstorage.info). The study was aimed to complement a broader study that was underway that assessed the current Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment frameworks for use with CCS . One of the gaps identified by this study was the need for further research on the environmental impacts of CO₂ on on-shore environments.
The study assesses the costs and performance of medium-scale CO₂ capture technologies The focus is on CO₂ capture from medium-scale power generation systems, from medium-scale systems for industrial heat production and from medium-scale combined heat and power systems. Other industrial processes which produce CO₂, such as cement, metallurgical and petrochemical processes are not considered in this study With respect to the size, we focus on novel technologies which will become available on the longer term, because it is expected that CO₂ is only likely to be captured from medium-scale sources when most large-scale capture opportunities have been exhausted. An exception is the MEA scrubbing technology which is currently used in industrial applications at a scale of 50 to 400 kt per year. The study only considers new systems and does not consider retrofit systems.
