Assessing issues of financing a CO2 transportation pipeline infrastructureIoannis Chrysostomidis, Paul Zakkour, Mark Bohm, Eric Beynon, Renato de Filippo, and Arthur Lee For carbon dioxide capture and geologic storage to be deployed commercially and in a widespread manner will require well thought out approaches for transporting the CO2 in a pipeline system from the capture facility to the injection site. Establishing a widespread CO2 transportation infrastructure will require strategic long-term planning, taking into account the potential magnitude of future deployment scenarios for CCS, up to a scale of infrastructure that could be comparable to the scale of oil & gas infrastructure. This paper outlines the results of a study, commissioned by the CO2 Capture Project (CCP) and completed by Environmental Resources Management (ERM) that evaluated the benefits and risks of two approaches to developing CO2 pipeline systems. The two basic approaches are described in the paper as:
An integrated approach to pipeline infrastructure approach offers the lowest average cost on a per ton basis for operators over the life of the projects if sufficient capacity utilization is achieved relatively early in the life of the pipeline. Integrated pipelines also reduce the barriers to entry and are more likely to lead to faster development and deployment of CCS. Without incentives to encourage the development of optimized networks project developers are likely to build point to point pipelines because they offer lower costs for the first movers and do not have the same capacity utilization risk. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Assessment of the range of potential funds and funding mechanisms for CO2 transportation networksIoannis Chrysostomidis, Paul Zakkour, ERM
This report has been prepared for Phase II of the CO2 Capture Project (CCP2)
by Environmental Resources Management (ERM). The basis for the research was the view that pipelines for CO2 transport could evolve in two ways: |

A Framework for Certification and Operation of CO2 Geological Storage SitesCO2 Capture Project A policy position paper on principles for CO2 Storage Site Certification. Widespread deployment of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) will require standards and criteria to provide assurance of the long-term security of CO2 Geological Storage (CGS). This paper describes several technical criteria that could be employed in a framework for certification and operation of CGS sites. The oil and gas industry has over a century of experience of managing various high-pressure fluids in deep geological formations. This paper builds on that extensive knowledge base and outlines some high-level technical criteria that would be specifically applicable to CGS sites. |

Public Perception of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage: Prioritised Assessment of Issues and ConcernsCO2 Capture Project, commissioned by IEA Working Party on Fossil Fuels This report provides a prioritised assessment of perceptions and issues affecting the deployment of CCS. It recommends strategies to address those issues and to develop regulatory and policy frameworks for CCS. Perceptions and issues were surveyed by region (North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, China, India and South Africa) and by stakeholder group (Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), Public, Government, Industry, and Research and Development (R&D) organisations). Regional reports are provided as appendices. |

Regulatory Treatment of CO2 Impurities for CCSCO2 Capture Project This policy position paper discusses how to regulate the treatment of impurities in the captured CO2 stream from an industrial source. Key sub-issues are whether CO2 would be defined as a waste, and Whether impurities in the CO2 stream should trigger waste management or hazardous waste management regulations in a specific regulatory regime. |

Incentives for CO2 Capture, Transport and StorageCO2 Capture Project The widespread deployment of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology is uneconomic at the current state of technological development and with current markets and regulatory drivers. Additional incentives will be necessary, especially in the near term, if CCS is to play a significant role in reducing global GHG emissions. This Policy Position Paper the challenges facing widespread development of CO2 capture, transport and storage technology, which fall into two general categories: commercial incentive and risk environment. |
