Natural Resources Canada – Carbon Capture & Storage in Canada – Claude Gauvin...Global CCS Institute
Canada supports the development and use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to reconcile its economically important energy sector with climate change objectives. CCS could allow continued production and use of fossil fuels while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Canada is taking actions like funding demonstration projects, conducting research and development, developing regulatory frameworks, and engaging domestically and internationally to advance CCS. Significant public investments totaling billions of dollars have supported multiple CCS demonstration projects across various Canadian energy industries.
Verdis converts flared natural gas into ultra-clean diesel using their patented Gas to Diesel (GTD) conversion technology. Their Fischer-Tropsch process and cobalt-ruthenium catalyst boost diesel yield from 50% to 94%. Capital requirements for initial units are $5-10 million to manufacture the first units. Projected revenues within 5 years are over $40 million with EBITA of $35 million.
Capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and using it to produce synthetic biofuel, constitutes carbon-negative transportation fuels. To put it another way, the process has a negative carbon footprint because it removes carbon dioxide from the air and uses it as fuel. Production of hydrogen, which requires electricity or natural gas and can still result in emissions, is a more expensive and time-consuming route to decarbonization than the use of carbon-negative fuels. It is also possible to use carbon-negative fuels to power currently operating vehicles, without the need for new expensive fueling infrastructure, shortening the time and money needed to a fully decarbonized future.
This document summarizes key aspects of carbon offsets and the carbon offset market. It discusses the role of offsetting, what constitutes a carbon credit, ideal criteria for offsets, understanding additionality, types of carbon projects, certification standards, and transaction volumes in offsets.
An Introduction to Carbon Offsets, Markets and ProjectsThe Climate Trust
The document provides an outline and information about carbon offset projects. It discusses that The Climate Trust was founded in 1997 to acquire carbon offsets for new power plants regulated by the Oregon Carbon Dioxide Standard. It developed processes to evaluate, quantify, verify and register offset projects. The document also discusses the types of offset projects including forestry, agriculture, cookstoves, and fertilizer. It provides examples of offset projects in Latin America.
The document discusses mechanisms for utilizing carbon finance to support clean energy development projects. It describes carbon markets, which involve trading carbon offsets created by emissions-reducing projects. It also describes carbon finance, which provides direct grants and loans to clean energy projects. Major sources of carbon finance include the World Bank carbon funds, future Green Climate Fund, and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions. The document concludes that while carbon prices will remain low, carbon finance represents a big opportunity for least developed countries like Myanmar to attract investment for clean energy and reduce emissions.
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. It also estimates China's potential to increase forest carbon sinks by 400 million hectares and 1.3 billion cubic meters of forest growth by 2020, absorbing approximately 2.4 billion tons of CO2.
Webinar: The business case for CCS in the power industry: a case study of the...Global CCS Institute
Developing the CCS power industry sustainably requires projects to deliver a suitable return on investment, in order to accommodate the risks inherent in the technology. But, the cost of CCS facilities is not yet covered by electricity sales revenue at current wholesale power prices anywhere in the world, nor is it covered by the ability to earn income from avoiding or reducing CO2 emissions. Building a business case for CCS power is therefore a major challenge.
The Global CCS Institute webinar that was held on Monday 22nd July was presented by 2Co Energy, sharing the real-life CCS business case for its CCS project in the UK, the Don Valley Power Project (DVPP). By sharing this information, 2Co Energy, which is known for its belief in the contribution CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can make to enhancing the economics of CCS, will present practical information that can be of use to other CCS practitioners as they develop their own business cases for CCS around the world.
The webinar covered the following topics:
A brief overview of 2Co and its CCS project in the UK, DVPP
A brief summary of existing business case studies made by other Members of the Institute, highlighting what was considered most important by them
The market and regulatory context for CCS faced by DVPP and other projects in the UK
The financing challenge that 2Co faces and the resulting financing strategy
The resulting business plan, including revenue and cost profiles, sensitivities and prospects for future cost reduction
Key risks to the project and mitigation plans.
The webinar will be of interest to CCS business developers, commercial professionals, policy makers, and regulators with an interest in enabling a CCS power industry.
Satish Kashyap At Renew Tech India 2010satishkashyap
The document discusses global and domestic climate policy. Globally, it summarizes the outcomes of the Copenhagen summit, including agreements on limiting temperature rise and funding for REDD. Domestically, it outlines India's national policy for promoting renewable energy through a renewable energy certificate framework modeled after other countries. It also provides an overview of post-2012 scenarios for carbon markets in the EU and potential US policies.
This document provides an overview of carbon credits and emissions trading. It discusses the types of carbon credits, how the Kyoto Protocol established mechanisms for trading credits, and how buying carbon credits can help reduce a factory's emissions. It also examines India's role as a participant in the carbon credit market, generating an estimated $8.5 billion annually from credits. While carbon trading provides benefits, it also faces criticisms related to issues of justice and environmental effectiveness.
1) Project-based carbon emission reduction mechanisms have successfully attracted investment but have mostly benefited large standalone projects in advanced developing countries. Small-scale and dispersed emissions face high transaction costs.
2) There is uncertainty around the future of Kyoto-based project mechanisms in a post-Kyoto era, with potential scaling up or disappearance.
3) Looking ahead, there will be increased focus on sustainability, geographical distribution, and voluntary markets driven by consumer and CSR trends rather than policy.
Sustainable construction aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It requires balancing environmental, social, and economic factors. In the U.S., buildings account for around 40% of carbon emissions, driving efforts to adopt sustainable practices. Codes and standards like LEED and Passive House certification provide frameworks for lower-impact design and construction. Major builders are incorporating energy efficiency despite higher upfront costs, recognizing longer-term savings and market advantages of sustainability.
Member Training Climate Change from Ambition to Action 13th November 2009 Wor...Marches Energy Agency
This document discusses the threats posed by climate change and the need for urgent action to address it. It provides statistics on rising carbon dioxide emissions and quotes experts warning that the consequences of insufficient action could be catastrophic. It advocates for a transition to low-carbon energy sources and outlines what meeting carbon reduction targets in 2020 may require, such as more efficient homes, appliances, transport, and energy generation. The document emphasizes the role that local authorities can play in tackling climate change through their policies and leadership in engaging communities on solutions. It also discusses the importance of addressing climate impacts through resilience and adaptation planning.
1) The document discusses a proposed CCS project called the Don Valley Power Project (DVPP) in the UK. It analyzes the business case for DVPP and identifies key factors for making CCS projects commercially viable such as government support mechanisms, carbon pricing, and using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery.
2) DVPP's plan was to use CO2 from a proposed coal power plant for EOR in the North Sea, with the revenue from EOR covering storage costs. However, DVPP was unsuccessful in obtaining a UK capital grant and the high capital costs remain a challenge.
3) For CCS to succeed, the document emphasizes that future projects must reduce costs, secure diverse sources

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.

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.

Teesside Collective has been developing a financial support mechanism to kickstart an Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) network in the UK. This project would transform the Teesside economy, which could act as a pilot area in the UK as part of the Government’s Industrial Strategy.
The final report– produced by Pöyry Management Consulting in partnership with Teesside Collective – outlines how near-term investment in CCS can be a cost-effective, attractive proposition for both Government and energy-intensive industry.
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.
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.

of U.S. domestic production.
5. Why is CO2-EOR so important?
• Energy Security
o Can at least double U.S. reserves (20 billion barrels)
o 27 to 62 billion barrels with existing technology, 67 to 137
billion barrels with next generation techniques
• Economic Opportunity
o Job creation, increase tax revenues, reduce U.S. trade deficit
(cumulatively) by $600 billion by 2030
• Environmental Protection
o Reduce U.S. GHG emissions by 10-20 billion tons
o Drive innovation in carbon capture and storage technology
o Produce oil with less environmental impact

11. Bipartisan Congressional
Support
The following Members of Congress provided statements of
support welcoming the NEORI recommendations
• Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) Participated in NEORI
media event to release
• Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX) recommendations
• Senator Max Baucus (D-MT)
• Congressman Rick Berg (R-ND)
• Senator John Hoeven (R-ND)
• Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN)
This bipartisan interest has translated into…
12. Conrad-Enzi-Rockefeller bill (S. 3581)
just introduced on 45Q Reform
– Introduced 9/20/2012
– Incorporates NEORI 45Q recommendations
– Improves functionality and transparency of existing program
• Clarifies eligibility for this existing tax credit
• Establishes a clear process for projects to “reserve” credits in
advance
– Incentive valuable in and of itself; certainty of incentive helpful
for obtaining private financing
• Establishes transferability of tax credit along CO2 value chain
• Clarifies that future regulatory changes do not affect prior crediting
– Little or no fiscal implications
– 45Q would incentivize the capture of 75 million tons of CO2
13. NEORI also recommends a new
production tax credit
• Bridge the cost gap between what CO2-EOR operators are willing to pay
and the cost of capture
• Credit goes to those who capture, but only once the CO2 is used for EOR
• More than pays for itself because captured CO2 ->incremental oil
production->profit->tax revenue
• No change in existing tax treatment for oil
• Combine federal incentive with CO2 market price
14. Production tax credit provisions
• 10-year PTC
• Two design objectives
– Minimize costs
– Drive innovation
• Competitive bidding/reverse auction
• Divided into tranches and subtranches for
different CO2 sources
15. New Production tax credit
• Tranches and sub-tranches
– Pioneer (first mover)
• Power
• Industrial
– Power

• Low cost industrial

18. Analytical Study
• “Cost gap” analysis
– Determine difference between willingness to pay by EOR
operators and cost of carbon capture, storage and transportation
• “Revenue neutrality” analysis
– Compare cost of new CO2-EOR incentives with new federal
revenues directly resulting from incremental new CO2-EOR
production in the form of royalties on Federal lands plus
severance and corporate income taxes.
Analysis suggests “revenue neutrality” within 10-year window
and significant net positive revenues over long term
20. State-level Recommendations
Model complementary policies to federal incentives
• Severance tax reduction and/or extension of existing
severance tax reduction for oil produced with CO2 from
anthropogenic sources.
• Cost recovery approval for regulated entities.
• Off-take agreements.
• Tax credits, exemptions, or abatements for CO2 capture
• State-level bonding of CO2 pipeline projects and/or capture
and compression facilities.
• Inclusion of CCS with EOR in electricity portfolio standards.

21. PHASE II Activities
Analysis:
• Demonstrate benefits; evaluate the implications of
alternative policies
• Incorporate new data
Education and Outreach:
• Expand NEORI and coordinate participant efforts
• Expand, tailor and disseminate materials
• Briefings, conferences, webinars, workshops, one-on-one
meetings, earned media, op-eds, website, blogs
• Promote peer learning among state officials
22. Prognosis
• 45Q reform possible this year; broader PTC
probably will take longer
• Many states can act
• You can help
25. Benefits to Increasing CO2-EOR
• Increase U.S. oil production by accessing domestic reserves with captured CO2;
– U.S. CO2-EOR potential equals 27 to 62 billion barrels with existing technology, 67 to 137 billion
barrels with next generation techniques; current U.S. proven reserves are around 20 billion barrels
• Lower trade deficits/Strengthen America’s national security by reducing dangerous dependence on
unstable and/or hostile regimes supplying the world oil market;
– An increase in oil production from EOR has the potential to reduce net crude oil imports by half and
provide up to $210 billion in increased state and federal revenues by 2030.
– EOR could reduce the U.S. foreign trade deficit by $11-$15 billion dollars in 2020 and $120- $150
billion by 2030.
• Create new, high-paying American jobs and retain and attract private sector investment in the U.S.
economy for capturing CO2, transporting it, and boosting U.S. oil production;
– Cumulatively by 2030, this reduction in oil imports would keep $600 billion here at home, generating
additional economic activity, high-paying jobs and revenues, rather than flowing out of the U.S.
economy to other countries.
• Enable commercial deployment of CCS industry to the long-term benefit of coal, natural gas, ethanol and
other domestic industrial sectors;
• Facilitate compliance and participation in low-carbon fuels markets by oil, natural gas and ethanol
producers; and
• Achieve significant net carbon reductions through sequestration in depleted oil fields.
26. Federal Production Tax
Credit for CO2 Capture
Key Elements
• Provided to owners of CO2 capture equipment installed on a broad range of power plants and
industrial processes, with the potential to supply significant volumes of CO2 to the EOR
industry;
• Limited to covering the additional incremental costs of new CO2 capture, compression, and
transport;
• Allocated through competitive bidding process, by source category
• Awarded to qualifying projects over a ten-year period based on performance;
• Designed with transparent registration, credit allocation, certification, and public disclosure;
• Provided with no limits on project scale or on the aggregation of different CO2 sources into a
single project to enable participation of smaller industrial facilities;
• Designed to ensure that the program achieves ongoing technology innovation, CO2 emission
reductions, and cost reductions for CO2 capture, compression, and transport; and
• Designed with explicit safeguards to penalize non-compliant projects, limit taxpayer
expenditure, and modify the program to ensure net positive federal revenues.

29. Current CO2 Supply for EOR
• Some CO2 for EOR already comes from industrial sources
• Today, the U.S. EOR industry uses 72 million tonnes of CO2 per year
— profitably and without serious reported injuries, accidents or
environmental harm.

• An additional 26-61 billion barrels of oil could economically be recovered with
today’s EOR technologies, potentially more than doubling current U.S. proven
reserves.
• Moreover, “next generation” EOR technology could yield substantially greater gains,
potentially increasing recoverable domestic oil from EOR to 67-137 billion barrels,
and storing 20-45 billion metric tons of CO2 that would otherwise be released into
the atmosphere in the long term. 30
31. Enhancements to 45Q Tax Credit
To avoid stalling important commercial CO2 capture projects under
development, there is an urgent need to improve the functionality and
financial certainty of the 45Q federal incentive. Key Elements:
• Designate the owner of the CO2 capture facility as the primary
taxpayer;
• Establish a registration, credit allocation, and certification process;
• Change the recapture provision to ensure that any regulations issued
after the disposal or use of CO2 shall not enable the federal
government to recapture credits that were awarded based on
regulations that existed at that time; and
• Authorize limited transferability of the credit within the CO2 chain of
custody, from the primary taxpayer to the entity responsible for
disposing of the CO2
32. Education and Outreach
Materials for policy-makers, media and public:
• Address lack of awareness of commercial CO2-EOR and
its economic, energy security and environmental
benefits:
– Full NEORI report;
– Two pagers on: overview of CO2-EOR, economic
benefits, environmental benefits, agriculture, and
safety; and
– Forthcoming: two-pagers on importance and benefits of
CO2-EOR to the coal industry, natural gas industry, and
potentially other sectors.
