This document summarizes a study that uses life cycle assessment to compare the environmental impacts and resource requirements of different low greenhouse gas electricity generation technologies on a global scale. The study models scenarios where these technologies are implemented to levels expected by 2030 and 2050 based on International Energy Agency forecasts. It finds that most renewable energy technologies provide substantial emissions reductions compared to fossil fuels. Additionally, manufacturing renewable energy technologies requires additional materials ranging from 0.1 to 3 times annual global production in 2010, with concentrating solar and wind having the highest demand for materials like steel and cement. Renewable technologies also generally have higher land use requirements than fossil fuels due to their lower energy density.

Introduction to CCS: Issues in governance and ethics workshop by Dr Claire Gough (Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research), 23 September 2014, Edinburgh
On July 23, 2010, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and the Bureau of Economic Geology at the
University of Texas (UT-BEG) co-hosted a symposium on the Role of Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) in Accelerating the Deployment of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). The motivation
for the symposium lies with the convergence of two national energy priorities: enhancement
of domestic oil production through increased tertiary recovery; establishment of large-scale CCS
as an enabler for continued coal use in a future carbon-constrained world. These security and
environmental goals can both be advanced by utilizing the carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from
coal (and natural gas) combustion for EOR, but many questions remain about the efficacy and
implementation of such a program at large scale. The symposium aimed to lay out the issues and
to explore what might be an appropriate government role.
The document summarizes key discussions from a symposium on using enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to accelerate deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. It finds that EOR currently uses around 65 million metric tons of CO2 annually, capturing around 5% of US oil production, but that EOR could potentially store 35-50 billion barrels of additional oil using larger volumes of CO2. It notes challenges to integrating EOR and CCS programs, given different motivations of operators, but finds EOR could store the CO2 from 15 years of all US coal plants or 60 years from 25% of coal plants. It emphasizes issues around ensuring permanent CO2 storage and accounting for recycled CO2 in EOR
This document is a thesis submitted by Soo Jung Ryu to Victoria University of Wellington for the degree of Master of Architecture. The thesis explores solutions for Victoria University's School of Architecture and Design (SoAD) to reduce its reliance on carbon offsets and become truly carbon neutral by minimizing emissions from energy, transport, and waste. It establishes reduction targets of 25%, 50%, and 90% and evaluates both behavioral changes and technological investments to meet these targets. The findings show 25% reductions can be achieved through low-cost behavioral changes, 50% through a mix of low-and high-cost measures, and 90% would require considerable investment in new technologies or drastic reductions in usage. The aim is to translate emissions savings into other metrics

Using Urban Design And Architecture To Get To ZeroTom Hootman
Positive Zero: Using Urban Design and Architecture to get to zero carbon. This presentation was made by Pat Dawe and Tom Hootman of RNL at the 2009 Gulf Coast Green Conference in Houston.
1) The document discusses Japan's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 and the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in achieving that goal.
2) It outlines a new Japanese government project to study the feasibility of CCS technology, including investigating potential CO2 storage sites and studying an integrated transportation and storage system using shuttle ships.
3) The project aims to examine the environmental impacts of CO2 absorbents and facilitate the introduction of zero carbon emission power plants equipped with CCS in Japan.
The document discusses using urban design and architecture to achieve zero carbon emissions through development. It outlines key strategies at different scales from buildings to neighborhoods to regions. Combining approaches like mixed-use development, green buildings, neighborhood infill, and renewable energy is identified as having the most impact to reduce carbon footprints to zero. A model is presented to quantify carbon reductions from different sustainable development techniques. The conclusion is that development has strong leverage over climate change and a comprehensive, measurement-based approach is needed to achieve carbon neutral goals.
Ecocem green economyexpopresentation 20may-ver2aDamian Connon
This document discusses the significance of embodied carbon emissions in construction. It notes that embodied carbon accounts for 11% of global emissions and can be as high as 62% of a building's total lifetime emissions. While the SEAI's strategy has focused on reducing operational emissions, the document argues that embodied emissions should be part of the current 5-year strategy. Concrete contributes substantially to embodied emissions, and using GGBS cement can significantly reduce a home's embodied carbon footprint. Increasing GGBS usage represents an opportunity to cost-effectively abate up to 600,000 tons of emissions annually in Ireland. Green procurement policies and building standards that consider both operational and embodied emissions are needed to realize this opportunity.
This document is a critical review of landowners' perceptions of wind turbines in Ireland. It begins with an introduction discussing the need for renewable energy due to climate change. It then provides background on wind energy development in Ireland. The document aims to understand landowners' views of wind farms through a survey. It finds that while landowners see environmental and economic benefits, there are also concerns around placement, noise, and property values. The conclusion calls for better siting of turbines and open communication with local communities.
CCS: Role in Global Emission Reductions, a presentation delivered by Bo Diczfalusy, Director of Sustainable Energy Policy and Technology at the International Energy Agency (IEA), on a Tuesday Dec 6 COP 17 Institute side event. The presentation reviews the IEA’s work in CCS. It also talks about global energy demand, which is expected to double in the next 40 years. Since 2005, non OECD countries are emitting more than OECD countries. More than 30 per cent of global incremental demand is from China alone.
The document analyzes the carbon footprint of residential buildings at the University of Portsmouth and identifies ways to reduce it. Electricity and gas consumption data from 2008-2011 was used to calculate carbon emissions and compare building efficiency to industry standards. Energy audits and analyses of energy use compared to temperature found energy consumption highly correlated with weather. Margaret Rule and Trafalgar Halls used significantly more electricity than standards, while only Harry Law Hall met standards. Occupant behavior and improving insulation/heating systems could reduce dependence on weather and carbon emissions.

This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes whether the UK should continue replacing coal power plants with natural gas power plants ("Dash for Gas") to meet emissions reduction targets. It discusses the life cycle emissions analysis conducted on natural gas and coal industries and an economic analysis of building new gas and coal plants under different operating scenarios. The research aims to provide more insight into the Dash for Gas strategy and whether it can meet the UK's long-term emissions targets of 80% reduction by 2050 given issues like securing gas supply and need for carbon capture and storage technology.
Main findings Working Group 3: Mitigation of Climate ChangeAndy Dabydeen
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's 4th Assessment Working Group III report on mitigating climate change. Some of the main points include:
1) Human activities have increased global greenhouse gas emissions 70% between 1970-2004 and emissions are projected to continue growing in the coming decades without mitigation policies.
2) Significant emission reductions are possible through technologies available now or by 2030 across energy supply, transportation, buildings, industry, agriculture, forestry and waste sectors.
3) Modeling estimates mitigation policies could limit GDP impacts to below 3% and even provide economic benefits in some cases, while still allowing emissions to peak and decline below current levels by 2030.

Current CCS Activities in Japan are outlined as follows:
1. Several large power companies and research institutes are conducting CCS pilot projects using various capture technologies including post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion.
2. Japan CCS Co. Ltd. is surveying candidate sites for large-scale CCS demonstration projects including at Tomakomai and Nakoso-Iwaki oki.
3. Engineering companies like Nippon Steel and Chiyoda are participating in international CCS demonstration projects like the ECOPRO project in Australia to test coal gasification and CO2 storage technologies.
The document discusses introducing ecology as a dimension in construction management by focusing on energy use and recycling materials. It proposes using recycled materials like fly ash instead of regular materials like cement and bricks to reduce CO2 emissions. A case study compares the material quantities and CO2 emissions of a regular 46.2 sqm building to one built with recycled materials. Using fly ash bricks and concrete with fly ash produces less CO2 than conventional materials and can help address global warming by lowering emissions from the construction industry.
Qiao and Zhou - CCS in China and the Guangdong CCS readiness study - Presenta...Global CCS Institute
This document outlines a carbon capture and storage readiness study conducted in Guangdong, China. It provides background on carbon emissions and policy in China, highlighting the country's continued reliance on coal. The study aimed to determine if carbon capture and storage (CCS) is needed and applicable in Guangdong. Key tasks included analyzing emissions and storage capacity from major point sources in Guangdong. Preliminary results found power plants accounted for 66% of emissions. Two potential inland storage basins were identified but have low capacity. The Pearl River Mouth Basin offshore has potential for higher storage due to its large size and sediment thickness. The study seeks to inform Guangdong's CCS roadmap and policy.
- Proponents of coal energy argue that clean coal technologies should receive the same government incentives as other low-carbon energy sources to help limit global warming. However, coal currently has a very negative public perception that makes it difficult to obtain government support.
- Upgrading the efficiency of existing coal plants and installing carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems on new plants could significantly reduce global CO2 emissions. However, CCS is currently not economically viable without much higher carbon prices or more government support.
- While renewable energy is increasingly important, coal will still be needed to ensure reliable electricity supply given its intermittent nature. Modernized coal plants with CCS could work together with renewables to provide flexible power generation and meet
- The document discusses climate change and the challenges it poses globally, including rising populations, urbanization, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.
- It provides data on topics like population growth, energy use by fuel type in various regions, cumulative emissions by country and continent, and the carbon intensity of economic activity.
- The document advocates for solutions like carbon capture and storage from coal-fired power plants to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and help address climate change while still utilizing coal resources.

The document discusses the European Union's actions on climate change over time in response to increasing scientific evidence and consensus on human-caused global warming. It outlines key IPCC reports, EU policies and targets to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy like setting an initial target of reducing emissions 20% by 2020 and transitioning to 20% renewable energy by 2020 as well. It also discusses the growth of wind power and challenges facing new nuclear power projects.
Global CCS Institute Meeting 20 June 2013. Presentation on CCS initiatives in Indonesia by Prof. Dr. Wawan Gunawan A. Kadir, Vice Rector for Research and Innovation, Institute Technology Bandung (ITB).
This document introduces the China's Energy Requirements and CO2 Emissions Analysis System (CErCmA), a model and software designed to analyze scenarios of China's energy demands and CO2 emissions under different growth paths. The model uses an input-output approach to calculate energy usage and emissions based on key driving factors like technology, population, economic growth, and urbanization. A case study applies the model to analyze China's projected energy needs and CO2 emissions in 2010 and 2020, finding that emissions will grow exponentially even with efficiency improvements unless changes are made, particularly in manufacturing and transportation. The document describes the rationale, design, and components of the CErCmA model.

The document discusses energy efficiency measures in cement industries. It notes that the cement industry accounts for over 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Several opportunities for improving energy efficiency are identified, including upgrading kilns, recovering waste heat, improving raw material preparation, and implementing process controls. The cement industry in Nepal is one of the most energy intensive sectors and consumes more energy per unit of production compared to other countries. Adopting advanced efficient technologies could help reduce energy use and emissions in Nepal's cement industries.
This document summarizes the key points from an online launch event for the IEA-CSI Technology Roadmap: Low-carbon Transition in the Cement Industry. The event included presentations on the technical analysis and findings of the roadmap, strategies for policy, finance, and international collaboration, and next steps. The roadmap models pathways to reduce CO2 emissions from cement production through increased energy efficiency, alternative fuels, lower clinker content, innovative technologies, and carbon capture. It finds that these measures could reduce cement industry CO2 emissions by up to 90% by 2050 compared to current trends. However, significant investment and cooperation across governments, industry and other stakeholders will be required to achieve this transition.
This document discusses developing policy mixes to decarbonize harder-to-abate sectors in Taiwan. It proposes a hybrid analytic framework, including decarbonization pathway analysis using energy models, a transition needs assessment, and formulating transformative policy mixes. The framework is applied to analyze Taiwan's industrial and transportation sectors, identifying policy recommendations like carbon pricing, RD&D programs, and green procurement to accelerate innovation and the transition to low-carbon technologies.

The document outlines research using the TIMES model to study mitigation strategies for transitioning India's energy system towards net-zero emissions by 2050, comparing a current policy scenario resulting in over 100 Gt of CO2 emissions to lower emission scenarios enabled by increasing renewable energy, nuclear power, and carbon capture while reducing costs and maintaining supply. The results indicate pathways to reduce 2050 emissions to under 1 Gt through accelerated electrification, decarbonizing electricity and other sectors, and cumulative emissions by over 50% compared to current policies.
Advanced Fossil Energy Technologies: Presentation by the US Dept of Energy Of...atlanticcouncil
This document discusses the goals and activities of the US Department of Energy's Office of Clean Coal, including its vision of enabling the environmentally-sound use of coal and fossil fuels through research into carbon capture and storage technologies. It outlines four goals: demonstrating near-zero emission fossil technologies; gaining public and regulatory acceptance of CO2 storage; conducting high-risk R&D on advanced coal technologies; and driving international collaboration on CCS. It also provides an overview of the office's major CCS demonstration projects currently underway or planned, which involve capturing and storing millions of tons of CO2 annually through techniques like pre- and post-combustion capture at coal power plants and industrial facilities.
The UK is pursuing carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a key part of its efforts to decarbonize its economy and energy sector while maintaining energy security and affordability. It has a comprehensive CCS program that includes a £1 billion capital competition to fund initial CCS projects, support for ongoing costs through contracts-for-difference, research and development funding to reduce costs, and international collaboration on knowledge sharing. The program aims to make CCS-equipped power plants cost competitive with other low-carbon technologies and establish CCS as a major part of the UK's low-carbon energy mix by 2030 and beyond.
1. The document analyzes the role of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in decarbonizing heavy industry through long-term energy system modeling.
2. It finds that CCUS faces strong competition from hydrogen in steel but is essential in cement. Carbon capture could help produce clean fuels through utilization but clean production routes may be more important than more capture units for deep decarbonization.
3. An 80% industry decarbonization policy has twice the total annual cost as pathways aligned with the Paris Agreement goals.

An Overview of Power Plant CCS and CO2-EOR ProjectsHusen E . Bader
CO2 has been used for many decades in the industrial processes and food manufacturing, including soft drinks.
Likewise, it is an essential component of other everyday items such as fire extinguishers. In very high
concentrations, CO2 like any dense gas, can act as an asphyxiate material, which can be dangerous to humans with
its adverse impact on respiration. Thus, CO2 is captured to minimize risks to humans’ health and the environment. A
general overview of the current carbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 based enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR)
projects is presented in this paper. This work provides a summary of the current worldwide CCS and CO2-EOR
projects along with their potential benefits. CCS is a process used to capture CO2 that is produced by industrial
facilities. The CCS technology involves CO2 capture, transport and storage. On the other hand, EOR is a generic
term for various techniques to increase recovery from oil fields. The injection of CO2 into underground rock
formation of oil reservoirs in order to improve their recovery is called CO2-EOR.
1. The document analyzes scenarios for decarbonizing industry using carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies through 2100 using an integrated assessment model.
2. Results show hydrogen competing with CCS in steel production, while CCS is essential for cement plants alongside less clinker-intensive cements.
3. Carbon capture and utilization plays a minor role compared to storage but can significantly contribute to clean fuel production.
The document provides an overview and agenda for an online launch event discussing the IEA-CSI Technology Roadmap for the low-carbon transition in the cement industry. The roadmap analyzes strategies and technologies to reduce carbon emissions from cement production, including improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of alternative fuels and raw materials, reducing the clinker-to-cement ratio, and deploying innovative and emerging low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture and alternative binding materials. It finds that these measures could reduce cement sector emissions by over 80% by 2050 compared to current levels if fully implemented. The event will discuss milestones, actions, and investment needs to achieve this vision through international collaboration between governments and industry.
Today’s renewable energy sources are very important for lots of countries. Therefore, many countries start to change and implement their policies. Especially, in Turkey and Europe the importance of solar and wind energies influence the energy policies.
The document discusses the Office of Clean Coal's goals and vision to support research, development and demonstration of technologies to ensure availability of clean, affordable energy from coal and fossil resources. It outlines 5 goals, including demonstrating near-zero emission fossil-based technologies and driving international collaboration and acceptance of carbon capture and storage technologies. It also provides an overview of major carbon capture and storage demonstration projects in the US, including their locations, costs, funding sources and intended storage methods (enhanced oil recovery or saline aquifer storage).
Low Carbon Buildings in Malaysia @ Low Carbon Asia Conference by UTMSteve Lojuntin
The document discusses low carbon building initiatives in Malaysia. It provides details on Malaysia's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 45% by 2030 under the Paris Agreement. It then discusses various low carbon building assessment tools used in Malaysia, including the GreenPASS system developed by CIDB that assesses buildings based on actual carbon emission reductions. Examples are given of low carbon buildings in Malaysia such as the LEO building and GEO building that have achieved significant energy savings through strategies like daylighting, efficient lighting and equipment, insulation, renewable energy systems, and energy monitoring.
Perspectives on the role of CO2 capture and utilisation (CCU) in climate chan...Global CCS Institute
Achieving the target set during COP21 will require the deployment of a diverse portfolio of solutions, including fuel switching, improvements in energy efficiency, increasing use of nuclear and renewable power, as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
It is in the context of CCS that carbon capture and utilisation (CCU), or conversion (CCC), is often mentioned. Once we have captured and purified the CO2, it is sometimes argued that we should aim to convert the CO2 to useful products such as fuels or plastics, or otherwise use the CO2 in processes such as enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR). This is broadly referred to as CCU.
In this webinar, Niall Mac Dowell, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Centre for Process Systems Engineering and the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London, presented about the scale of the challenge associated with climate change mitigation and contextualise the value which CO2 conversion and utilisation options can provide.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Two China-ADB joint research projects are
launched in 2013:
the assessment of the potential role
of oxy-fuel combustion CO2 capture
developing China‘s roadmap for
demonstration and deployment of CCUS
47. • The nationwide utilization and storage capacity assessment shall be
conducted as soon as possible in order to better understand the
CCUS potential in China.
• The first full-chain technology demonstration shall be launched for
those high-concentration emission sources (such as coal chemical)
due to the low capture cost; coal-fired power plant shall also carry on
full-chain technology demonstration timely because their emissions
are high in volume with multi-point sources; on the aspect of
technological options shall be balanced.
• Considering the maturity of CO2-EOR technology and large potential
for on-land saline aquifer storage, the full-chain technology
demonstration for CO2-EOR and onshore saline aquifer storage shall
be prioritized.
CCUS Technology Roadmap: Full Chain Demo
48. • The demonstrations and scale-up on the integration of CO2-EOR
and onshore saline aquifer with multiple capture options shall actively
but steadily take forward with an aim to operate demonstration
project at 1 million tons/a and above by 2030.
• The research on innovative and cost-effective CO2 utilization
technologies shall be enhanced, and initial demonstration can be
launched jointly with other integrated systems.
• The full-chain demonstration projects witness more opportunities in
Ordos Basin, Songliao Basin, Bohai Bay Basin and the Junggar Basin,
while the specific demonstration project shall take the cost, safety,
environment and other factors into consideration.

• An Assessment Report on CO2 Utilization Technologies in
China is now being prepared, led by ACCA21.
– Enhanced Energy Recovery
– Enhanced Resources Recovery
– Chemicals production
– Bio & Agriculture production
– Products from industrial wastes
• To update CCUS Roadmap with new recognition on
Utilization technologies.
52. • CCUS is important to China
– In the long term, an important technical option for CO2 reduction.
– In the short term, utilization could be priority to remove economic barrier,
e.g. enhanced exploration of shale gas, geothermal, saline water and
liquid mineral, and to understand safety of storage for the future.
– CCUS is a diverse technology cluster. Choosing a priority technology
should be different in terms of industry, location and time.
• Besides technology R&D, enabling policies are essential for the
take off of CCUS.
• The nature of CCUS technology calls for enhanced International
collaboration, in particular knowledge sharing.
