CCS in Australia – the storage challenge – Dick Wells, Global CCS Institute M...Global CCS Institute
Australia has potential for sufficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity, but costs vary significantly by location. Establishing storage is often the critical path for CCS projects. Investments in commercial-scale demonstration projects are needed, as are policy incentives, to make CCS available for commercial deployment by 2020 when Australia aims to reduce emissions by 60%. Key challenges include navigating existing resource rights, long project timelines, cost uncertainties, and gaining public acceptance.
Meta-review of long-term energy & carbon pricesLeonardo ENERGY
This report presents the findings of a study on future energy and carbon costs, based on a review of 13 long-term scenarios for the energy transition
- Coal, oil, gas, electricity, and carbon future prices are included (throughout this report referred to as “energy vectors”)
- Facts and trends impacting future prices are identified, but not analyzed
- EU countries with available information and in different stages of the energy transition are included
The findings can be summarized as follows:
- Most scenarios expect coal prices will remain virtually flat, with yearly price increases that are lower than those of other fossil fuels.
- Oil prices will be affected by limited supply and a decreasing demand. Most scenarios project a moderate growth of oil real prices from 2020 to 2050, except for particular extreme cases.
- Natural gas demand is projected to increase, but price increases will be moderated by abundant global supply. Natural gas demand is projected to increase, but price increases will be moderated by abundant global supply.
- It is expected that end-user electricity prices will rise driven by fossil fuel prices, carbon prices, and increasing generation costs from RES. Industrial electricity prices are projected to increase in the short term and then stabilize towards 2050. Industrial electricity prices rise under scenarios with higher RES
- CO2 prices will increase and will shift the profitability of carbon intensive technologies towards less carbon intensive ones. All considered scenarios project a strong yearly growth of carbon prices . However, there is a wide variation of estimates.
- Coal, oil or gas prices are not correlated with RES penetration.
The above findings are essentially assumptions behind some of the major scenarios using in energy policy planning. The analysis includes scenarios from Ecofys, the European Commission, DNV GL, Greenpeace, Eurelectric, European Climate Foundation, McKinsey, Enerrgynautics, Fraunhofer, Stanford, Imperial College and NERA.
The document discusses gas transmission in Central and Eastern Europe. It notes that while the region has historically been dependent on Russian gas and lacked infrastructure integration and diversification, the market is starting to develop. Key planned and existing pipeline projects that could help improve connectivity and supply security are outlined, including Nord Stream 2, reverse flows to Ukraine, and regional interconnectors like the Slovak-Polish project. The document emphasizes that national plans need to be coordinated regionally and that infrastructure alone is not enough - markets also need integration through measures like coordinated capacity allocation and gas trading platforms.

The document provides an overview of the proposed Kemper County IGCC Project in Mississippi, which would demonstrate an advanced coal gasification technology at a commercial scale. The U.S. Department of Energy is preparing an EIS to evaluate the potential environmental impacts and decide whether to provide financial assistance and a loan guarantee for the project. Key aspects of the proposed project include constructing an integrated gasification combined-cycle power plant capable of generating 582 megawatts while capturing 67% of carbon emissions, a nearby lignite mine, and associated infrastructure like pipelines and transmission lines. The EIS will analyze alternatives and potential impacts to resources like water, wildlife, and air quality.
The U.S. Department of Energy prepared an EIS to evaluate the environmental impacts of a proposed IGCC power plant in Kemper County, Mississippi. The plant would demonstrate an advanced system to convert lignite into synthesis gas to fuel turbines, generating 582 MW while reducing emissions. Associated infrastructure like pipelines and transmission lines would be constructed. The EIS considers impacts to resources like water, wildlife, and air quality from the plant, adjacent mine supplying lignite, and related facilities. It also evaluates alternatives and solicits public input to inform the agencies' decisions on providing funding and permits.

This document presents a hydrogen and fuel cell development plan for New York state. It finds that 494-659 MW of fuel cell generation capacity could be installed at potential host sites to generate 3.89 million MWh of electricity annually. Over 180 New York companies are involved in the hydrogen and fuel cell supply chain, contributing $292 million to the state economy in 2010. The plan identifies several sectors such as commercial buildings, industry, wastewater treatment plants and airports as prime locations for fuel cell projects due to their energy intensity. Developing policies and incentives to support fuel cells could increase deployment, jobs and make the technology cost-competitive without subsidies over time.
Webinar - Transport and storage economics of CCS in The NetherlandsGlobal CCS Institute
The document summarizes a study on the costs of potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) networks in the Netherlands and Belgium. It describes 6 potential transportation and storage scenarios that were modeled, including shipping CO2 via tankers or pipelines to offshore storage sites. The financial model analyzed the capital and operating costs of each infrastructure component, such as pipelines, and calculated overall costs to emitters. The results identified the most cost-effective transportation and storage options and key cost drivers to inform CCS project planning.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
