Vol 1 Chapter 1: Policies and Incentives Developments in CO₂ Capture and Storage Technology: A Focused Survey by the CO₂ Capture Project

Arthur Lee, Dag Christensen, Frede Cappelen, Jan Hartog, Alison Thompson,

Abstract: The CO₂ Capture Project organized a Policies and Incentives Team (P&I Team) in 2002 to begin studying the state of policies, regulations, incentives, and potential barriers around the world. The P&I Team had the primary mission to provide information and advice to the CO₂ Capture Project’s Executive Board on these issues and any other external developments that may impact or benefit the technology program being developed by the CO₂ Capture Project. The team completed two key tasks with results that are described in this paper. They are:

• A comprehensive survey of existing policies, regulations, and incentives that impact or benefit CO₂ capture, injection and storage in geologic formations.
• Gap analysis necessary to formulate the regulatory and policy framework that will show how to get from “where we are” to “where we want to be” in deploying the technology.

The results of these tasks show:

• Clear momentum exists as projects are being deployed and technology continues to be researched and developed.
• The London Dumping Convention and the OSPAR Convention (Oslo Paris Convention) may apply to CO₂ capture and storage deployment offshore in geologic formations. Issues for clarification may require several years of intergovernmental negotiations in order to accommodate such deployment.
• In general, there is little policy and regulatory development specifically addressing CO₂ capture and storage in individual countries.
• Specific countries (Netherlands, Norway, Canada, United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US)) are moving in the direction of policy development specific to CO2 capture and storage.
• Public awareness is low to non-existent. Some non-government organizations (NGOs) will likely play key role in the public acceptance of the technology.
• Some NGOs and the public in the European Union are becoming slightly less skeptical of the technology.

However, it is still too early to assess the level of public skepticism, which will become clearer when specific projects are reviewed for permitting or licensing. In the context of this paper, deployment of CO₂ capture and storage offshore means CO₂ that would be stored in geologic formations under the seabed.

Vol 1 Chapter 2: Review and Evaluation of the CO₂ Capture Project by the Technology Advisory Board

Vello Kuuskraa

Abstract: As part of its responsibilities and charter, the Technology Advisory Board (TAB) provides technical oversight, performance evaluation and peer review for the CO₂ Capture Project (CCP). The TAB is an international panel of technology experts and funding agency representatives that provides a portion of the overall “quality control and assurance” function to the project. This chapter summarizes the TAB’s assessment of the CCP’s accomplishments in reducing the costs and energy penalty of CO₂ capture and for improving the safety and reliability of its geologic storage. It concludes with a set of priorities and recommendations for future activities.

Vol 1 Chapter 3: Economic and Cost Analysis for CO₂ Capture Costs in the Capture Project Scenarios

Torgeir Melien

Abstract: A common economic model was developed to facilitate direct and transparent comparison of the technologies studied and selected by the CCP. The CEM team worked closely with the technology development teams to ensure accuracy. The CEM accounted for site-specific scenarios, comparative case analysis, significant non-capture facility costs, multi or byproduct output, technology comparison rather than project evaluation, and generic versus regional pricing. These factors were used along with single discount factors, pre-tax analysis, and emission taxes to ensure a fair comparison. Each scenario was evaluated and compared exhaustively. For some technologies cost reductions above 50% on a CO₂-avoided basis are indicated. The European Refinery (UK) Scenario case yielded cost reductions up to 48% for an oxyfuel case. The Alaska (Distributed Gas Turbines) Scenario showed only 19% savings in a pre-combustion decarbonization case. The Norway scenario (new-build large-scale gas turbines) showed cost reductions of 54% for a best integrated technology case and of 60% for a precombustion decarbonization system with hydrogen membrane reformers. The Canada Scenario (IGCC) showed savings of 16% over a highly optimized baseline gasification process.

CO₂ Capture Project Results - Co-operating for a Better Environment

CO₂ Capture Project

The CO₂ Capture Project (CCP) is a partnership of government and industry that is supporting research to advance the scientific and technical basis for the capture and geological storage of CO₂. This will provide a new set of options for reducing CO₂ emissions that can complement improved energy efficiency and increased use of non-fossil energy resources.
