Main
Objectives
CCS TF
 Main objectives guiding CCS TF work at the
international, regional and national levels:
 To support strengthening capacity and knowledge
building and create opportunities for developing countries
to explore their CCS potential
 To facilitate inclusion of CCS options into developing
countries’ low-carbon growth strategies and policies
 Work is done in co-operation with leading
international and bilateral initiatives:
 Global CCS Institute, Carbon Sequestration Leadership
Forum, IEA and others

Phase I
Work
Program
Work program comprises two components:
 Country-level component (USD 8.5M)
 Focusing on country or project-specific CCS activities in
9 countries
 Assessments of applicability of capture technologies and
potential storage capacities
 Regulatory framework and public engagement issues
 Training and workshops
 Analytical component (USD 0.5M)
 Studies on issues of strategic importance to all developing
countries and on CCS-related interregional issues
 Report on barriers to CCS deployment in developing
countries (http://go.worldbank.org/MJIX0TRAB0)

Phase I – Mexico Work Program
SUPPORTED BY:
Mexico
Phase I
 Phase I runs from Aug 2012 to Dec 2015
 Funds allocated: USD 1.3M
 Encompasses four tasks:
1. Undertake a prefeasibility study for a capture pilot
plant at a natural gas-fired power station in Poza Rica
2. Assess the MMV and regulatory requirements for
converting EOR sites into permanent CO2 storage
sites
3. Study to establish a legal and regulatory framework
for CCUS
4. Develop a public engagement strategy

Phase I – Mexico Work Program
SUPPORTED BY:
Mexico
Phase I
Task 1
 Capture Pilot Plant Pre-Feasibility Study
 CFE decided in Feb 2014 to:
• Focus on capture from NGCC generating stations (i.e. no
coal)
• Locate pilot at the Poza Rica (Veracruz) power station
 Selection of most suitable commercial capture technology
and most appropriate size (within 2-20 MWe range)
 Conceptual design, incl. technical specifications, estimates
of capital and operating costs, and assessment of social,
and environmental impacts
 Status: RFP issued, deadline Nov 3. Expected start date:
mid-Dec 2014. Expected study completion: Oct 2015

Mexico
Phase I
Task 2
Phase I – Mexico Work Program
 Transitioning CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) Projects to Permanent Storage
Projects
 Develop recommendations for enhanced monitoring
techniques and protocols as well as a regulatory
changes to allow recognition of PEMEX's first CO2-
EOR pilot at Agua Dulce (Veracruz) as a CO2
permanent storage project
 Status: RFP issued, deadline Oct 21. Expected start
date: mid-Nov 2014. Expected study completion: Apr
2015

Task 3
Phase I – Mexico Work Program
 Regulatory Framework Development
 Review of existing laws and regulations potentially
applicable to CCUS (note: several laws recently were
amended as part of the Energy Reforms)
 Provide recommendations to Government of Mexico
whether existing laws can be kept or should be
modified, or new ones introduced
 Status: RFP issued, deadline Oct 21. Expected start
date: mid-Nov 2014. Expected study completion: mid-
2015

 Public Engagement
 Development of a public engagement and
communications strategy for CCUS
 Master plan to include both national and local
approaches
 Status: a request for Expressions of Interest will be
issued in the near future
 All four studies will be completed by the end of Phase I
– December 2015

Capacity
Building
Phase I – Mexico Work Program
 Capacity Building
 Not a defined task, but active when opportunities arise
 WB sponsored mission of 11 delegates, representing all
major Mexican stakeholders, to Canada in Mar 2014:
• visited commercial CCS/CCUS sites in Saskatchewan and
Alberta (Cenovus - Weyburn EOR project, SaskPower
Boundary Dam capture project, Shell Quest)
• meetings with provincial governments, industry,
universities and research organizations
• logistical support from Canadian embassy in Mexico
 Collaborating with APEC and GCCSI on three APEC
workshops on CCS/CCUS (Aug-Nov 2014)
