This is a presentation delivered by Luke Warren of the CCSA at the Institute’s COP 17 side event, held on November 30. The presentation reviews the history of CCS discussions under the UNFCCC and proposes a path forward.
The document summarizes information from a presentation by the Global CCS Institute on carbon capture and storage (CCS) readiness. It defines CCS readiness and its benefits. It discusses regulatory and economic drivers for CCS readiness policies and provides an example of a CCS retrofit feasibility study conducted in Guangdong Province, China. The presentation covered what CCS is, definitions of capture, transport, and storage readiness, reasons for pursuing CCS readiness, and factors to consider for CCS readiness policies.
The document summarizes discussions from a climate change expert group meeting on implementing provisions of the Paris Agreement. Key points discussed include:
1) Transitioning Clean Development Mechanism activities to Article 6.4 will require coordination between various actors like host countries, project participants, and the Article 6.4 supervisory body.
2) Host countries will play a greater role under Article 6.4 compared to the Clean Development Mechanism, and capacity building may be needed to assess impacts on countries' climate commitments.
3) Improving electronic reporting systems could help reduce the reporting burden for countries and improve consistency and quality of climate reporting.
The UNEP/MAP-GEF MedPartnership project aims to continue efforts to reduce pollution in the Mediterranean Sea and protect biodiversity through implementing strategic action programs. It involves 12 countries working with UNEP/MAP and the World Bank over multiple components including regional projects, investment funds, and demonstration projects. The project seeks to advance policy and legal reforms, fill knowledge gaps, and help implement integrated coastal zone management plans. Initial results include workshops training over 200 practitioners and reductions in water use and pollution loads at demonstration sites.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of host parties and the UNFCCC in implementing Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement for carbon market activities. At the global level, the UNFCCC must ensure new activities support increasing climate ambition and avoid double counting of emissions reductions. Host parties must ensure activities support their NDCs and do not hinder long-term ambition. Host parties are responsible for establishing tracking and authorization systems for Article 6.4 activities, setting conservative baselines, and considering limits on transfers to avoid overselling emissions reductions. The transition of existing CDM projects also requires oversight to avoid risks to climate ambition from pricing or volume effects.
The document provides an overview of the IPCC Inventory Software, which implements the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. It discusses key functions like worksheets for data entry, calculation methods, uncertainty analysis, and reporting. The presentation is divided into two parts: the first part describes the structure and features of the software, while the second part provides guidance on getting started with the software, such as selecting a country, inventory years, and CO2 conversion factors.
This document discusses options for baseline methodological approaches under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. It summarizes discussions at a session on this topic, including questions around when methodology development can begin, the roles of host parties and the Supervisory Body, and how to address capacity differences among host countries. Standardized baselines are proposed as one approach, where they could help align Article 6 activities with host country climate policies and long-term strategies. Using best available technologies as a reference point is presented as another option, as it could help identify domestic pathways toward NDCs and long-term goals while also discovering where international cooperation is needed under Article 6. Overall, the document examines balancing principles from the CMA with requirements set by the
This document discusses the possible transition of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) activities under the Kyoto Protocol to the Article 6.4 mechanism under the Paris Agreement. It outlines the actors involved, criteria to guide the process, and options for enabling an efficient transition. Key actors include the CDM Executive Board, potential Article 6.4 Supervisory Body, host parties, and project participants. Options assessed include using existing CDM methodologies and accreditation procedures, or reviewing and revising them. Coordination across UNFCCC regimes and minimising burdens will be important to balance regulatory efficiency with compatibility with Article 6.1.

The document discusses the goals and activities of the U.S. Department of Energy's carbon sequestration program. The program aims to develop technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities. This includes developing techniques to separate, transport and store CO2 underground, with a goal of reducing energy costs by less than 10%. The program also works to better characterize underground geological storage sites and ensure 99% of injected CO2 remains securely stored. A key part of the program is funding large-scale field projects through Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships to demonstrate carbon capture and storage technologies.
1) The document discusses coordination needed for transitioning technical standards, projects, credits, and capacities from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to the new Article 6.4 mechanism under the Paris Agreement.
2) It identifies areas where coordination is necessary, such as requirements for transitioning existing CDM projects and credits to the new mechanism, and areas where coordination is preferred but not required, such as sharing technical standards and lessons learned.
3) The author proposes that the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) initiate the coordination process and authorize the CDM Executive Board and secretariat to provide relevant assistance to facilitate the transition.
Background and outcome of the Expert Meeting on SLCF in May 2018 and possible...ipcc-media
The expert meeting concluded that improved inventories and methodologies for short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) such as black carbon, methane, and tropospheric ozone precursors are needed to enhance understanding of their climate impacts and inform climate policy. The IPCC is well-positioned to develop globally-applicable guidance on SLCF inventory methodologies. A future work plan proposes aligning existing guidelines, expert meetings on specific sources, and potentially developing a new methodology report during the AR7 cycle to build on findings from the upcoming AR6. The IPCC will decide how to proceed with this work at its 49th Session in May 2019.
Henk van Rikxoort - Project Carbon Accounting Credibility AssessmentHenk van Rikxoort
The document summarizes a workshop on assessing the credibility of 7 project carbon standards according to ISEAL's credibility principles. It finds that Carbon Fix and VCS-AFOLU performed the best, achieving positive results across most principles, while CDM, Plan Vivo, and Social Carbon performed the worst, often achieving negative results. The conclusions state that the results should be used as a guideline, and that standards within performance groups can be identified for potential collaboration or application depending on ISEAL members' individual and collective needs.
The document outlines various options and tasks for host parties relating to the registration and transition of activities under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement, including establishing domestic criteria and procedures for approving new activities, transitioning eligible Clean Development Mechanism projects, and reporting expected emission reductions from activities over time. Host parties have flexibility in their approaches and can begin many tasks before final Article 6 rules are agreed to optimize efficiency while balancing administrative burdens and compatibility with Article 6.
The document discusses various approaches to setting baselines under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement based on the experience of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It analyzes which baseline approaches and methodologies were commonly used in the CDM and identifies the number of CDM projects that may transition to Article 6.4. Key baseline approaches discussed include best available technology, performance-based, benchmark, and historical emissions. The document also provides examples of how baseline methodologies could be revised for Article 6.4 to incorporate lessons from the CDM.
This summary provides an overview of the key points from the document:
1) The document discusses the transition of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) activities to Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. It focuses on the roles and responsibilities of different actors in the transition process.
2) It recommends that project participants play a role in assessing how their projects would need to be updated to align with the new context under Article 6.4. This project assessment would be valuable input for the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body and host parties.
3) Between now and COP26 in November 2021, parties should work to agree on guidance and "new context" assessment questions for project participants, host parties, and
2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inven...ipcc-media
This document provides an overview and status update on the 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. It notes that over 10 years have passed since the 2006 Guidelines so some refinements are needed to incorporate new scientific advances. The Refinement aims to supplement and update the 2006 Guidelines rather than replace them. It will cover all sectors but only include refinements where the science has significantly progressed. The Refinement is following the same structure as the 2006 Guidelines and is undergoing review by governments and experts before its finalization and adoption by the IPCC in May 2019.
Panel 5. CCS projects in action - Professor Jon Gibbins, University of EdinburghGlobal CCS Institute
The document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects and efforts. It summarizes the work of the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) in coordinating CCS research. It also discusses the importance of various types of CCS projects, defining what makes a facility "CCS ready", and actions that can help reduce emissions through CCS implementation.
Electronic reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and other climate data to the UNFCCC could provide benefits but also poses challenges. While electronic reporting may streamline the process and save time and resources, countries have varying levels of experience with such systems. When designing electronic reporting software, flexibility must be provided to accommodate different country capacities and non-standard data. A smooth transition is also needed for countries already using their own systems. The scope and timing of implementation would need careful consideration. Lessons can be learned from systems already in use, but differences between developed and developing countries must be taken into account.
CCXG Global Forum September 2017, BGA Accounting for diverse NDCs: Unpacking ...OECD Environment
This document discusses accounting principles and guidance for tracking progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It outlines key principles such as promoting transparency, accuracy and avoiding double counting. It also examines how accounting guidance could clarify and implement these principles for different types of NDCs. Examples given include guidance to avoid double counting of emissions reductions from harvested wood products and clarifying how countries can account for natural disturbances. The document also discusses drawing from existing approaches under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol, and introducing an "accounting balance" to clearly track progress towards NDCs.
The document discusses the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which adds a phase-down schedule for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It will enter into force in 2019 if ratified by 20 countries. Developing countries have different baseline years and phase-down schedules than developed countries. Countries will need to undertake enabling activities to prepare regulations, markets, and industry for the HFC phase-down. Surveys of developing countries found current use of HFC and other refrigerants is concentrated in air conditioning and refrigeration. Partnerships will be important to share expertise during this transition period.
5 December - IPCC Emission Factor Database (EFDB)ipcc-media
The IPCC Emission Factor Database (EFDB) is an online database that contains emission factors and other parameters relevant for estimating greenhouse gas emissions. It aims to improve the quality and consistency of national GHG inventories by providing a platform for countries to share country-specific emission factors. The database contains default values from IPCC guidelines as well as data submitted by experts and researchers. New data submissions undergo review before inclusion. The EFDB helps countries develop national emission factors more cost-effectively and makes the factors publicly available to support inventory reporting. The database is periodically updated to enhance functionality and add new data.
The document discusses key takeaways from a virtual forum on the environment and climate change hosted by the Climate Change Expert Group. It notes that common tabular formats can help track progress towards nationally determined contributions in a transparent way while balancing usability and machine readability. It also stresses the importance of ensuring economic stimulus packages in response to COVID-19 facilitate a clean energy transition and do not cause emissions or policies to backslide. Several countries are already integrating climate ambitions into their recovery plans.
Callide Oxyfuel Project - Jim Craigen - - Global CCS Institute – Nov 2011 Reg...Global CCS Institute
As a part of the Institute's strategic focus on assisting CCS projects through knowledge sharing, three North American roadshow events will help the industry share project experiences and knowledge about CCS. Taking place in the US and Canada, the three events include:
• Austin, Texas on November 8, 2011;
• Calgary, Canada on 10 November, 2011; and
• Washington, D.C. on 19 January, 2012.
The first roadshow focused on sharing project experiences and knowledge from the projects in North America but also brought in projects from Europe (Don valley) and Australia (Callide) so that regionally diverse experiences could be shared amongst a global audience.
Attendance at the event was around 30 to 35 which allowed open and frank discussions around technical, management, and regulatory issues and how these challenges can impact on a project’s advancement and decision making processes.
Mainstreaming Climate Risk Management in National Development Processes in th...Global Water Partnership
Under the Caribbean WACDEP Programme, climate risk management is being mainstreamed through existing regional frameworks and partnerships. The programme is working with the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre to enhance an online climate risk screening tool called CCORAL (Caribbean Climate Online Risk and Adaptation Tool) for the water sector. New features for CCORAL Water include additional tools, case studies, and knowledge products about climate resilience in water management. The goal is to support climate-resilient decisions by governments, organizations, and communities in the Caribbean region.
Guidance for accounting: emissions intensity goals and goals relative to BAU ...OECD Environment
This document discusses accounting considerations and guidance needs for different types of mitigation contributions under the Paris Agreement, including emissions intensity goals and goals relative to baseline emissions levels. Key issues addressed include requirements to quantify future emissions in the target year, developing reference levels for corresponding adjustments under cooperative mechanisms, data sources and guidance for intensity targets, defining consistency and review procedures for baseline scenarios, and inclusion of policies and cutoff years. Recommendations are made around enhancing transparency of assumptions in baseline scenarios and including all adopted policies with significant emissions impacts.
CCXG Global Forum September 2017, BGA Accounting for diverse NDCs: Unpacking ...OECD Environment
This document outlines challenges and suggestions for developing accounting guidance for mitigation targets in nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It discusses the meaning of "accounting" for NDCs, challenges such as different target types across parties and land-related issues, and suggestions like drawing from existing approaches under the UNFWP Convention and Kyoto Protocol, allowing parties flexibility in methodologies, and identifying remaining issues to resolve.
This document appears to be a resume for Gene Berger, who holds the certification of Check Point Certified Security Administrator. The resume lists his name, certification, and dates of certification and presumably creation of the resume document.
Global CCS Institute - Day 2 - Panel 4 - The Cost of Capture: Progress and Op...Global CCS Institute
This document discusses the costs of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies for coal power plants. It provides estimates of the levelized cost of electricity for different coal plant designs both with and without CCS. CCS increases the cost of electricity by nearly doubling it compared to plants without capture. However, the avoided cost of CO2 is significant at $90-100 per tonne. Transportation, monitoring and storage of CO2 adds around $11 per megawatt-hour to the cost of capture. Recent studies show construction costs have risen since the 2008 recession and more demonstration projects are still needed to advance CCS technologies and bring costs down.

Constantin Sava Title - CCS Regulatory Toolkit in Romania - Presentation at t...Global CCS Institute
The document summarizes the results of a Carbon Capture and Storage Regulatory Test Toolkit workshop held in Romania. The workshop used Romania's proposed Getica CCS project to test the country's regulatory framework for CCS. Key findings included the need to increase institutional capacity on CCS, improve public engagement, determine the appropriate environmental assessment approach, and enhance cross-government collaboration. Next steps identified were continuing inter-ministerial working groups, developing action plans and regulatory improvements, and further engagement with stakeholders.
This document summarizes concepts and definitions related to carbon capture and storage readiness (CCSR) and provides examples of CCSR policy implementation in different jurisdictions. It discusses how CCSR has been defined and implemented through regulations and policies in the European Union, South Africa, United Kingdom, Queensland, and China. It observes that approaches to CCSR vary across jurisdictions but share identifiable themes around facilitating future carbon capture. The document suggests CCSR requirements could range from least to most stringent and be applied to individual components of capture, transport and storage.

The document summarizes Shell's Quest Carbon Capture & Storage Project in Alberta, Canada. It discusses (1) Shell's response to reducing CO2 emissions through natural gas, biofuels, carbon capture & storage, and energy efficiency; (2) Shell's involvement in various CCS projects worldwide; and (3) provides an overview of the Quest project which will capture over 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year from an oil sands upgrader and transport it via pipeline for storage in deep saline aquifers.
Laboratory-scale geochemical and geomechanical testing of near wellbore CO2 i...Global CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute together with ANLEC R&D will hold a series of webinars throughout 2016 and 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website. This is the sixth webinar of the series and presented the results of chemical and mechanical changes that carbon dioxide (CO2) may have at a prospective storage complex in the Surat Basin, Queensland, Australia.
Earth Sciences and Chemical Engineering researchers at the University of Queensland have been investigating the effects of supercritical CO2 injection on reservoir properties in the near wellbore region as a result of geochemical reactions since 2011. The near wellbore area is critical for CO2 injection into deep geological formations as most of the resistance to flow occurs in this region. Any changes to the permeability can have significant economic impact in terms of well utilisation efficiency and compression costs. In the far field, away from the well, the affected reservoir is much larger and changes to permeability through blocking or enhancement have relatively low impact.
This webinar was presented by Prof Sue Golding and Dr Grant Dawson and will provide an overview of the findings of the research to assist understanding of the beneficial effects and commercial consequences of near wellbore injectivity enhancement as a result of geochemical reactions.
The document discusses CCS activities in Qatar and their relevance to the GCC region. It outlines Qatar's policy on CCS, including its support for including CCS projects under the Clean Development Mechanism. It also summarizes Qatar's carbon storage research through the Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre, which conducts fundamental research on carbon storage in carbonate reservoirs over 10 years with $70 million funding. The research aims to improve oil recovery and carbon storage through reservoir characterization, pore/fracture scale modeling, and developing integrated simulation tools.
This document provides an overview of international forest carbon markets and China's forest carbon sink potential. It discusses the background of carbon credit trading, types of carbon offset projects, international carbon standards (e.g. VCS, CCX, CAR), analyzes a case study of the CCX carbon market, and trends in the international carbon trading market.

UNIDO is now focusing on introducing low-GWP alternatives and promoting energy efficiency to further climate benefits. It aims to assess emission reductions from projects and focus on replacing HCFCs by 2015. UNIDO also plans pilot projects converting air conditioner production lines to use propane refrigerant to demonstrate related technologies and safety practices.
Climate Change and Development - Updates from COP18UNDP Eurasia
The document discusses several topics related to climate change including:
1. The need to cut global CO2 emissions in half by 2050 to keep warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
2. The challenges posed by a growing world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, which will place greater pressure on resource systems.
3. The importance of transitioning to a green economy through significant emissions mitigation and generating funding for climate actions.
The document describes a 10 year research program in the Netherlands called CATO and CATO-2 that investigated carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies across the full CCS chain. The programs included applied and fundamental research, involved over 40 partners from industry, academia, and government, and had a budget of around 65 million Euros. Some key areas of research included developing lower-cost CO2 capture technologies, chemical looping combustion, post-combustion capture, CO2 transportation and storage, and monitoring technologies. The research programs helped advance CCS technologies and build expertise in the Netherlands toward the goal of implementing large-scale CCS demonstration projects.
The Management of Used Fuel-Key Mandate of NRWDI AC 14 DEC 2016Alan Carolissen
The document discusses National Radioactive Waste Disposal Institute's (NRWDI) mandate to manage radioactive waste disposal in the country, including used fuel. It outlines that used fuel management requires an off-site centralized interim storage facility by 2025 and a deep geological repository by 2065. The Vaalputs site is a suitable candidate for both facilities due to its isolation and previous investigations. Classifying the interim storage facility as a strategic infrastructure project would help expedite regulatory approvals.
This third webinar in the series 'CCS in Developing Countries' was presented by the World Bank.
Deploying CCS in developing countries is critically important. The International Energy Agency estimates that to achieve global emissions reduction targets 70% of CCS projects will be in non-OECD countries by 2050.
CCS faces a number of challenges, in all countries, but particularly in developing countries. This webinar discussed some of these challenges and barriers using South Africa as a case study. South Africa is working towards a Test Injection Project and subsequently a Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project. The World Bank considered it important to understand a set of constraints, including regulatory, technical, economic, human capacity, etc. to realization of CCS demonstration and commercialization, and how the CCS development will look like in the South African context, out to 2050. A techno-economic assessment has been undertaken to gain this understanding.
The techno-economic assessment explored CCS deployment in six relevant industries in South Africa, and assessed projected scenarios associated with key issues of interest (such as cost, impact on electricity prices, timeframes etc). The key output from the techno-economic study was a techno-economic model, supported by the data sets, specifically for South Africa. The potential storage site capacity has been analysed to provide a strong indication of the likely storage capacity available within physical and economic constraints.
The ENGO Network on CCS was created in 2011 and includes several environmental non-governmental organizations that work to ensure carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is deployed safely and effectively to mitigate climate change. The network aims to develop common positions, disseminate scientific information on CCS, and support domestic and international policies that enable CCS. At the 2012 UN climate conference, the network presented a paper calling for increased governmental and international support for CCS through policies like carbon pricing, regulations, funding for demonstration projects, and knowledge sharing. The document summarizes recommendations for different countries and regions to overcome barriers that have limited CCS deployment in Europe.

Northern Lights: A European CO2 transport and storage project Global CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute hosted the final webinar of its "Telling the Norwegian CCS Story" series which presented Northern Lights. This project is part of the Norwegian full-scale CCS project which will include the capture of CO2 at two industrial facilities (cement and waste-to-energy plants), transport and permanent storage of CO2 in a geological reservoir on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Northern Lights aims to establish an open access CO2 transport and storage service for Europe. It is the first integrated commercial project of its kind able to receive CO2 from a variety of industrial sources. The project is led by Equinor with two partners Shell and Total. Northern Lights aims to drive the development of CCS in Europe and globally.
Webinar: Policy priorities to incentivise large scale deployment of CCSGlobal CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute released a new report highlighting strategic policy priorities for the large-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS). The Institute’s report also reviews the progress achieved until now with existing policies and the reasons behind positive investment decisions for the current 23 large-scale CCS projects in operation and construction globally.
Telling the Norwegian CCS Story | PART II: CCS: the path to a sustainable and...Global CCS Institute
The document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the cement industry in Norway. It provides background on HeidelbergCement, one of the world's largest producers of building materials. It details a CCS project at Norcem's cement plant in Brevik, Norway, which aims to capture 400,000 tons of CO2 per year. The captured CO2 would be transported by ship and stored permanently underground in geological formations in the North Sea. The project represents an opportunity for CCS technology to be commercialized at a large scale. However, it depends on support through the FEED study process and a decision by the Norwegian Parliament and HeidelbergCement in 2020.
Telling the Norwegian CCS Story | PART I: CCS: the path to sustainable and em...Global CCS Institute
In 2018, the Norwegian government announced its decision to continue the planning of a demonstration project for CO2 capture, transport and storage. This webinar focuses on the Fortum Oslo Varme CCS project. This is one of the two industrial CO2 sources in the Norwegian full-scale project.
At their waste-to-energy plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo, Fortum Oslo Varme produces electricity and district heating for the Oslo region by incinerating waste. Its waste-to-energy plant is one of the largest land-based sources of CO2 emissions in Norway, counting for about 20 % of the city of Oslo’s total emissions. The CCS project in Oslo is an important step towards a sustainable waste system and the creation of a circular economy. It will be the first energy recovery installation for waste disposal treatment with full-scale CCS.
Fortum Oslo Varme has understood the enormous potential for the development of a CCS industry in the waste-to-energy industry. The company is working to capture 90 % of its CO2 emissions, the equivalent of 400 000 tons of CO2 per year. This project will open new opportunities to reduce emissions from the waste sector in Norway and globally. Carbon capture from waste incineration can remove over 90 million tons of CO2 per year from existing plants in Europe. There is high global transfer value and high interest in the industry for the project in Oslo.
The waste treated consists of almost 60 % biological carbon. Carbon capture at waste-to-energy plants will therefore be so-called BIO-CCS (i.e. CCS from the incineration of organic waste, thereby removing the CO2 from the natural cycle).
Find out more about the project by listening to our webinar.
Decarbonizing Industry Using Carbon Capture: Norway Full Chain CCSGlobal CCS Institute
Industrial sectors such as steel, cement, iron, and chemicals production are responsible for over 20 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To be on track to meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets established as part of the Paris Climate Accord, all sectors must find solutions to rapidly decarbonize, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is the only path for energy-intensive industries.
This webinar will explore how one country, Norway, is working to realize a large-scale Full Chain CCS project, where it is planning to apply carbon capture technology to several industrial facilities. This unique project explores capturing CO2 from three different industrial facilities - an ammonia production plant, a waste-to-energy plant, and a cement production facility. Captured CO2 will be then transported by ship to a permanent off-shore storage site operated as part of a collaboration between Statoil, Total, and Shell. When operational, Norway Full Chain CCS will capture and permanently store up to 1.5 million tons of CO2 per year.
During this webinar, Michael Carpenter, Senior Adviser at Gassnova, will provide an overview of the Norway Full Chain CCS, and discuss the value that Norway aims to derive from it. The key stakeholders working on this exciting project, and how they cooperate, will be also discussed. Gassnova is a Norwegian state enterprise focusing on CCS technology, which manages the Norway Full Chain CCS project.
Cutting Cost of CO2 Capture in Process Industry (CO2stCap) Project overview &...Global CCS Institute
The CO2StCap project is a four year initiative carried out by industry and academic partners with the aim of reducing capture costs from CO2 intensive industries (more info here). The project, led by Tel-Tek, is based on the idea that cost reduction is possible by capturing only a share of the CO2emissions from a given facility, instead of striving for maximized capture rates. This can be done in multiple ways, for instance by capturing only from the largest CO2 sources at individual multi-stack sites utilising cheap waste heat or adapting the capture volumes to seasonal changes in operations.
The main focus of this research is to perform techno-economic analyses for multiple partial CO2 capture concepts in order to identify economic optimums between cost and volumes captured. In total for four different case studies are developed for cement, iron & steel, pulp & paper and ferroalloys industries.
The first part of the webinar gave an overview of the project with insights into the cost estimation method used. The second part presented the iron & steel industry case study based on the Lulea site in Sweden, for which waste-heat mapping methodology has been used to assess the potential for partial capture via MEA-absorption. Capture costs for different CO2 sources were compared and discussed, demonstrating the viability of partial capture in an integrated steelworks.
Webinar presenters included Ragnhild Skagestad, senior researcher at Tel-Tek; Maximilian Biermann, PhD student at Division of Energy Technology, Chalmers University of Technology and Maria Sundqvist, research engineer at the department of process integration at Swerea MEFOS.

Mission Innovation aims to reinvigorate and accelerate global clean energy innovation with the objective to make clean energy widely affordable. Through a series of Innovation Challenges, member countries have pledged to support actions aimed at accelerating research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) in technology areas where MI members believe increased international attention would make a significant impact in our shared fight against climate change. The Innovation Challenges cover the entire spectrum of RD&D; from early stage research needs assessments to technology demonstration projects.
The Carbon Capture Innovation challenge aims to explore early stage research opportunities in the areas of Carbon Capture, Carbon Utilization, and Carbon Storage. The goal of the Carbon Capture Innovation Challenge is twofold: first, to identify and prioritize breakthrough technologies; and second, to recommend research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) pathways and collaboration mechanisms.
During the webinar, Dr Tidjani Niass, Saudi Aramco, and Jordan Kislear, US Department of Energy, provided an overview of progress to date. They also highlighted detail opportunities for business and investor engagement, and discuss future plans for the Innovation Challenge.
This webinar discussed two studies on achieving a low-carbon economy in the United States: the Risky Business Project and the U.S. Mid-Century Strategy Report. Four pathways were examined that could reduce US carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 through different technology mixes, including high renewables, high nuclear, high carbon capture and storage, and mixed resources. All pathways required upfront investments but achieved both emissions reductions and fuel savings over time. Implementation challenges included the pace of power plant construction, expanding the electric grid and building electric vehicle infrastructure. The webinar compared the pathways and findings to the U.S. Mid-Century Strategy Report.
Webinar Series: Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum Part 1. CCUS in the Uni...Global CCS Institute
The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is a Ministerial-level international climate change initiative that is focused on the development of improved cost-effective technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). As part of our commitment to raising awareness of CCS policies and technology, CSLF, with support from the Global CCS Institute, is running a series of webinars showcasing academics and researchers that are working on some of the most interesting CCS projects and developments from around the globe.
This first webinar comes to you from Abu Dhabi – the site of the Mid-Year CSLF Meeting and home of the Al Reyadah Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) Project. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the world’s major oil exporters, with some of the highest levels of CO2 emissions per capita. These factors alone make this a very interesting region for the deployment of CCUS both as an option for reducing CO2 emissions, but also linking these operations for the purposes of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations.
In the UAE, CCUS has attracted leading academic institutes and technology developers to work on developing advanced technologies for reducing CO2 emissions. On Wednesday, 26th April, we had the opportunity to join the Masdar Institute’s Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Mohammad Abu Zahra to learn about the current status and potential for CCUS in the UAE.
Mohammad presented an overview of the current large scale CCUS demonstration project in the UAE, followed by a presentation and discussion of the ongoing research and development activities at the Masdar Institute.
This webinar offered a rare opportunity to put your questions directly to this experienced researcher and learn more about the fascinating advances being made at the Masdar Institute.
Energy Security and Prosperity in Australia: A roadmap for carbon capture and...Global CCS Institute
On 15 February, a Roadmap titled for Energy Security and Prosperity in Australia: A roadmap for carbon capture and storage was released. The ACCS Roadmap contains analysis and recommendations for policy makers and industry on much needed efforts to ensure CCS deployment in Australia.
This presentation focused on the critical role CCS can play in Australia’s economic prosperity and energy security. To remain within its carbon budget, Australia must accelerate the deployment of CCS. Couple with this, only CCS can ensure energy security for the power sector and high-emissions industries whilst maintain the the vital role the energy sector plays in the Australian economy.
The webinar also detailed what is required to get Australia ready for widespread commercial deployment of CCS through specific set of phases, known as horizons in strategic areas including storage characterisation, legal and regulatory frameworks and public engagement and awareness.
The Roadmap serves as an important focal point for stakeholders advocating for CCS in Australia, and will provide a platform for further work feeding into the Australian Government’s review of climate policy in 2017 and beyond.
It is authored by the University of Queensland and Gamma Energy Technology, and was overseen by a steering committee comprising the Commonwealth Government, NSW Government, CSIRO, CO2CRC Limited, ACALET - COAL21 Fund and ANLEC R&D.
This webinar was presented by Professor Chris Greig, from The University of Queensland.
Webinar Series: Public engagement, education and outreach for CCS. Part 5: So...Global CCS Institute
The fifth webinar in the public engagement, education and outreach for CCS Series will explore the critically important subject of social site characterisation with the very researchers who named the process.
We were delighted to be able to reunite CCS engagement experts Sarah Wade and Sallie Greenberg, Ph.D. to revisit their 2011 research and guidance: ‘Social Site Characterisation: From Concept to Application’. When published, this research and toolkit helped early CCS projects worldwide to raise the bar on their existing engagement practices. For this webinar, we tasked these early thought leaders with reminding us of the importance of this research and considering the past recommendations in today’s context. Sarah and Sallie tackled the following commonly asked questions:
What exactly is meant by social site characterisation?
Why it is important?
What would they consider best practice for getting to understand the social intricacies and impacts of a CCS project site?
This entire Webinar Series has been designed to share leading research and best practice and consider these learnings as applied to real project examples. So for this fifth Webinar, we were really pleased to be joined by Ruth Klinkhammer, Senior Manager, Communications and Engagement at CMC Research Institutes. Ruth agreed to share some of her experiences and challenges of putting social site characterisation into practice onsite at some of CMC’s larger research projects.
This Webinar combined elements of public engagement research with real world application and discussion, explore important learnings and conclude with links to further resources for those wishing to learn more. This a must for anyone working in or studying carbon capture and storage or other CO2 abatement technologies. If you have ever nodded along at a conference where the importance of understanding stakeholders is acknowledged, but then stopped to wonder – what might that look like in practice? This Webinar is for you.
Managing carbon geological storage and natural resources in sedimentary basinsGlobal CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute, together with Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research and Development (ANLEC R&D), will hold a series of webinars throughout 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website.
This is the eighth webinar of the series and will present on basin resource management and carbon storage. With the ongoing deployment of CCS facilities globally, the pore space - the voids in the rock deep in sedimentary basins – are now a commercial resource. This is a relatively new concept with only a few industries utilising that pore space to date.
This webinar presented a framework for the management of basin resources including carbon storage. Prospective sites for geological storage of carbon dioxide target largely sedimentary basins since these provide the most suitable geological settings for safe, long-term storage of greenhouse gases. Sedimentary basins can host different natural resources that may occur in isolated pockets, across widely dispersed regions, in multiple locations, within a single layer of strata or at various depths.
In Australia, the primary basin resources are groundwater, oil and gas, unconventional gas, coal and geothermal energy. Understanding the nature of how these resources are distributed in the subsurface is fundamental to managing basin resource development and carbon dioxide storage. Natural resources can overlap laterally or with depth and have been developed successfully for decades. Geological storage of carbon dioxide is another basin resource that must be considered in developing a basin-scale resource management system to ensure that multiple uses of the subsurface can sustainably and pragmatically co-exist.
This webinar was presented by Karsten Michael, Research Team Leader, CSIRO Energy.
Mercury and other trace metals in the gas from an oxy-combustion demonstratio...Global CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute together with ANLEC R&D will hold a series of webinars throughout 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website. This is the seventh webinar of the series and presented the results of a test program on the retrofitted Callide A power plant in Central Queensland.
The behaviour of trace metals and the related characteristics of the formation of fine particles may have important implications for process options, gas cleaning, environmental risk and resultant cost in oxy-fuel combustion. Environmental and operational risk will be determined by a range of inter-related factors including:
The concentrations of trace metals in the gas produced from the overall process;
Capture efficiencies of the trace species in the various air pollution control devices used in the process; including gas and particulate control devices, and specialised systems for the removal of specific species such as mercury;
Gas quality required to avoid operational issues such as corrosion, and to enable sequestration in a variety of storage media without creating unacceptable environmental risks; the required quality for CO2 transport will be defined by (future and awaited) regulation but may be at the standards currently required of food or beverage grade CO2; and
Speciation of some trace elements
Macquarie University was engaged by the Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research and Development Ltd (ANLEC R&D) to investigate the behaviour of trace elements during oxy-firing and CO2 capture and processing in a test program on the retrofitted Callide A power plant, with capability for both oxy and air-firing. Gaseous and particulate sampling was undertaken in the process exhaust gas stream after fabric filtration at the stack and at various stages of the CO2 compression and purification process. These measurements have provided detailed information on trace components of oxy-fired combustion gases and comparative measurements under air fired conditions. The field trials were supported by laboratory work where combustion took place in a drop tube furnace and modelling of mercury partitioning using the iPOG model.
The results obtained suggest that oxy-firing does not pose significantly higher environmental or operational risks than conventional air-firing. The levels of trace metals in the “purified” CO2 gas stream should not pose operational issues within the CO2 Processing Unit (CPU).
This webinar was presented by Peter Nelson, Professor of Environmental Studies, and Anthony Morrison, Senior Research Fellow, from the Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University.

The report was published on Teesside Collective’s website on 7 February. You will be able to view copies of the report in advance of the webinar.
We were delighted to welcome Sarah Tennison from Tees Valley Combined Authority back onto the webinar programme. Sarah was joined by Phil Hare and Stuart Murray from Pöyry Management Consulting, to take us through the detail of the model and business case for Industrial CCS.
This webinar offered a rare opportunity to speak directly with these project developers and understand more about their proposed financial support mechanism.
Webinar Series: Public engagement, education and outreach for CCS. Part 3: Ca...Global CCS Institute
The third webinar in the public engagement, education and outreach for CCS Series digged deeper, perhaps multiple kilometres deeper, to explore successful methods for engaging the public on the often misunderstood topic of carbon (CO2) storage.
Forget bad experiences of high school geology, we kick-started our 2017 webinar program with three ‘rock stars’ of CO2 storage communication – Dr Linda Stalker, Science Director of Australia’s National Geosequestration Laboratory, Lori Gauvreau, Communication and Engagement Specialist for Schlumberger Carbon Services, and Norm Sacuta, Communication Manager at the Petroleum Technology Research Centre who all joined Kirsty Anderson, the Institute’s Senior Advisor on Public Engagement, to discuss the challenges of communicating about CO2 storage. They shared tips, tools and some creative solutions for getting people engaged with this topic.
This entire Webinar Series has been designed to hear directly from the experts and project practitioners researching and delivering public engagement, education and outreach best practice for carbon capture and storage. This third webinar was less focused on research and more on the real project problems and best practice solutions. It is a must for anyone interested in science communication/education and keen to access resources and ideas to make their own communications more engaging.
Water use of thermal power plants equipped with CO2 capture systemsGlobal CCS Institute
The potential for increased water use has often been noted as a challenge to the widespread deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Early studies, that are widely referenced and cited in discussions of CCS, indicated that installation of a capture system would nearly double water consumption for thermal power generation, while more recent studies show different results. The Global CCS Institute has conducted a comprehensive review of data available in order to clarify messages around water consumption associated with installation of a capture system. Changes in water use estimates over time have been evaluated in terms of capture technology, cooling systems, and how the data are reported.
Guido Magneschi, Institute’s Senior Advisor – Carbon Capture, and co-author of the study, presented the results of the review and illustrated the main conclusions.

The Global CCS Institute launched The Global Status of CCS: 2016 at a dedicated event at the 22nd conference of the parties (COP 22) in Marrakech on Tuesday, 15 November.
The Global Status of CCS: 2016 report is an essential reference for industry, government, research bodies, and the broader community, providing a comprehensive overview of global and regional CCS developments.
Following the report launch, we will run a number of webinars commencing in November 2016, through to early 2017.
A Summary of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 will be accessible on our website from 15 November, and includes updates on key CCS facilities, including two major facilities now in operation:
Shell’s Quest Project in Canada
Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project in Japan
These projects are significant 2016 milestones and testament to the safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness of CCS as an integral technology to meeting Paris Agreement climate change targets.
Please join us for the first of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 webinar series.
Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest CCS Project
As one of a handful of large-scale CCS projects currently injecting CO2 into a dedicated saline aquifer storage site, Shell’s Quest project offers a unique case study into the performance of dedicated storage. The Quest project injects CO2 into the Basal Cambrian Sandstone located 2 km below the surface. After the first year of operations, the Quest reservoir has exceeded internal expectations. While the original premise called for eight wells, today only two of three constructed injection wells take 100 per cent of project volumes (~140 tonnes /hr).
In this webinar, Simon O’Brien, Shell Quest Subsurface Manager, discussed storage performance at Quest after one year of operations as well as early results from the measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) plan.

CCS within the UNFCCC - Luke Warren, CCSA
1. CCS within the United Nations
Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC)
Dr Luke Warren
Global CCS Institute Side Event
30th November 2011
2. Is CCS recognised under the UNFCCC?
Kyoto Protocol;
• Article 2.1 (a)(iv): Recognises “Carbon dioxide
sequestration technologies” as a mitigation
technology that promotes sustainable development
COP6;
• Annex I & II Parties cooperate in the development,
diffusion and transfer of CCS, encourage their wider
use and facilitate the participation of LDCs and other
non-Annex I Parties
3. 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG
Inventories
• Parties have a number of obligations under UNFCCC & KP to
report national GHG inventories
– Utilise IPCC National GHG inventories
• Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), New Delhi,
2002, invited IPCC to revise 1996 Guidelines
– Process: 3 years; 250 Experts; >14,000 comments; adopted at IPCC-25,
April 2006
– Includes new chapter on CCS (Volume 2, Chapter 5)
• IPCC considers the guidelines to:
– “provide best, widely applicable default methodologies”
– Suitable for national GHG inventories and project-based estimates
• Provide the international framework for managing the selection
and MRV of CO2 storage sites
4. CCS in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines
• Utilises a Tier 3 plant-level reporting methodology
• Tier 1 or 2 approach (emission factors) inappropriate
– Geological formations highly heterogeneous
– Empirical data from monitored storage sites limited
IPCC approach to estimate and report emissions from storage sites:
Site Assess
Monitoring Reporting
Characterisation Leakage Risk
IPCC Conclusion “Tier 3 Methodology can be implemented so as to
support not only zero emission estimates but also to detect leakage,
even at low levels, if it occurs”
• Consistent with 2005 IPCC Special Report on CCS
• Basis for other international and regional CCS regulatory frameworks
• Norway reports emissions from Sleipner and Snøhvit CCS projects using 2006
IPCC Guidelines
5. CCS and developing countries
• CCS must be rapidly deployed in developing countries
• Limited funding for CCS to date: <0.001 % climate finance to
CCS
• International effort primarily on inclusion of CCS in CDM
6. CCS as CDM Project Activities
• Importance CCS CDM;
– Legitimises CCS as valid technology for developing
countries
• CCS also requires support from other mechanisms (i.e. NAMAs)
– Create incentives / signal for CCS in developing countries
• Stimulate development of national regulations and capacity
• Could support low-cost CCS opportunities (i.e. gas processing)
• Part of the solution for power and higher cost industrial
applications
– Establish precedence-setting regulatory framework for
CCS can be utilised under other international funding
mechanisms
8. CCS CDM next steps
• Draft CCS CDM Modalities & Procedures released –
negotiated at COP17/CMP7, Durban
• Utilise existing CDM M&Ps as far as possible, plus
– CCS specific additions; participation requirements,
validation and verification requirements
– Technical criteria established for site selection, risk
assessment & monitoring
– Financial provisions: including 5% CER reserve fund
– Liability:
• Addresses local & climate liability
• Buyer or Host Party options for climate liability
• CCS CDM M&Ps appear to provide a workable
framework for the private sector to invest in CCS
• Will Parties find them acceptable?
9. Summary
• UNFCCC process has long-recognised the role of CCS
in combating climate change
• IPCC 2006 Guidelines recognises the emission
reductions from CCS project activities
• The adoption of CCS CDM M&Ps here in Durban
would be a material positive development
– Create incentive for CCS in developing countries
– Establish international regulatory framework
