This document discusses carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) technology. It describes how CCUS can capture up to 90% of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use and prevent it from entering the atmosphere. There are three main techniques for carbon capture: pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion. Captured carbon can be transported via pipelines or trucks and stored underground in geological formations or utilized to create useful products. CCUS plays an important role in reducing carbon emissions and meeting climate targets.
This document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a solution to reducing CO2 emissions and global warming. It covers various aspects of CCS including CO2 capture technologies like post-combustion capture using solvents, compression and transport of captured CO2, and geological storage options in saline aquifers or for enhanced oil recovery. The high cost of CCS technologies is also addressed.

To avoid the risk of severe climate change, greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced drastically. Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has the potential to contribute significantly to this ambition. CCS is a family of technologies and techniques that enable the capture of CO₂ from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of CO₂ via ships or pipelines, and its storage underground, in depleted oil and gas fields and deep saline formations.
In this webinar an overview of CCS will be presented, including typical CCS concepts, main drivers and barriers, costs and safety, and public concerns. The webinar will also touch upon the complexity of this technology, the current state of implementation and whether CCS is progressing fast enough. This webinar is intended for persons for whom knowledge on CCS is relevant in their business and wants to acquire a broad understanding of the technology, where it stands today and its role in the abatement of greenhouse gases.

January 2024. Carbon Capture is the process of capturing Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2) produced by industrial processes, preventing its release into the atmosphere.
The primary goal of carbon capture is to reduce carbon emissions, because carbon dioxide is the primary Greenhouse Gas (GHG) contributing to climate change.
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), also known as (CCS), refers to a suite of technologies that perform carbon capture.
CCUS involves four stages: capture, transport, storage, and use.
CCUS technologies include Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), carbon sequestration, Direct Air Capture (DAC), and carbon absorption by Ammonia.
Policy wise, growing recognition of CCUS role in meeting net zero goals is translating into increased policy support for CCUS deployment. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have outlined an important role for CCUS to reach net zero emissions by 2050, directly supporting Sustainable Development Goal SDG13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, technologies, benefits, challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of carbon capture. Discover how CCUS technologies can reduce global carbon emissions by up to 90% to accelerate the clean energy transition and meet net zero emission goals by 2050.
Yanchang Petroleum CCS Project - Enhanced oil recovery using CO2 in North Wes...Global CCS Institute
- Dr. Gao Ruimin is the president of the Research Institute of Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group and will present on their CO2-EOR project in northwest China.
- The project aims to use CO2 from nearby coal gasification and chemical plants for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in oilfields like Jingbian and Wuqi, which have suitable geological conditions for CO2 storage.
- Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine optimal conditions for CO2 injection and a pilot CO2 injection project is underway in the Qiaojiawa 203 well block in Jingbian to test continuous and water-alternating-gas injection methods.
This document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. It describes different carbon capture methods such as pre-combustion, post-combustion, and cryogenic capture. Post-combustion requires large volumes of solvent and can produce toxic byproducts. Pre-combustion has high construction costs and decreased flexibility. The captured carbon is then transported via pipelines and stored geologically. However, CCS projects face economic challenges like a lack of market incentives and need for large storage volumes. While CCS could enable a transition away from fossil fuels, the technology has yet to be widely implemented due to these technical and economic difficulties.
This document discusses the origin and formation of oil and gas from plankton and other microscopic organisms. It explains that under low oxygen conditions on the seafloor, organic matter accumulates and is buried over time. Increased temperature and pressure converts the organic matter into kerogen and then into oil and gas. The hydrocarbons can then migrate from the source rock through porous carrier rocks until being trapped by an impermeable cap rock, forming an oil or gas reservoir. Sweet crude oil contains low sulfur while sour crude has higher sulfur levels, affecting refining.
The document provides an overview of upstream oil and gas exploration and production processes in India. It discusses key steps in the exploration cycle including surveys, drilling, reservoir analysis, and production. It covers geological concepts like source rocks, migration, traps, and basin formation. Key methods are outlined, such as seismic acquisition and different trap types. The importance of inputs from geology, geophysics, geochemistry is highlighted. Drilling and production activities are also summarized. India has 26 sedimentary basins but only 7 have yielded commercial oil and gas discoveries to date.
Kashagan Oil Field - Analysis of Geology, Geophysics and Petroleum SystemAkhil Prabhakar
The Kashagan oil field is the largest oil field discovered in the last 30 years, located in the northern Caspian Sea off Kazakhstan. It contains estimated reserves of 6.4 to 20 billion barrels of oil. However, production has been delayed due to the huge costs involved, environmental concerns with drilling, and reluctance of the Kazakh government to involve foreign oil companies. The field's geology includes carbonate reservoir rocks from the Devonian to Carboniferous periods overlain by Permian salt domes that serve as traps for the oil and gas accumulations.
Migration from source to reservoir rocks is not fully understood. Hydrocarbons must replace water in reservoir pores during migration. Formation waters are usually ancient waters trapped during deposition. Salinity of formation waters generally increases with depth from 35,000 ppm to over 350,000 ppm. Primary migration out of low permeability source rocks is debated, with mechanisms including diffusion, microfractures, and oil-phase migration along organic-rich pathways.
Geology & geophysics in oil explorationFelipe Andrés
This document provides an overview of geology and geophysics techniques used in oil exploration. It discusses sedimentary rocks, their classification, textures, and structures.

Geophysical methods like seismic surveys are used to image underground structures that may trap oil and gas. Well logging and mud logging techniques provide data from boreholes. Overall the document serves as an introductory guide to applying geological and geophysical principles in the oil and gas industry.
The conversion of organic matter to petroleumBelal El Nagar
1. The conversion of organic matter to petroleum requires organic matter such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and lignin to be buried in deep sediment layers in an oxygen-deficient environment.
2. Over time and with increasing heat and pressure, the organic matter transforms first into kerogen and then into petroleum and natural gas through the processes of diagenesis, catagenesis and metagenesis.
3. Key factors that influence the preservation of organic matter and its conversion to petroleum include rapid burial to limit oxidation, high total organic carbon content, and a low oxygen to carbon ratio in the original organic material.
Coal liquefaction is a process that converts coal into liquid fuels like diesel or gasoline. There are two main types of coal liquefaction: direct and indirect. Direct liquefaction involves partially refining coal directly into synthetic crude oil, while indirect liquefaction first gasifies coal into syngas and then converts the syngas into liquid fuels using processes like Fischer-Tropsch or the Bergius process. Major countries investing in coal liquefaction include China, South Africa, and Australia. It offers benefits like energy security but also faces challenges of high costs and potential environmental impacts.
This course is designed to develop skills in understanding the geometry and petrophysical characteristics of carbonate reservoirs. Depositional fabric, grain type and size and subsequent diagenetic modifications are the major controls on carbonate reservoir behaviour. The complex inter-relationship of the depositional and burial history can be unravelled to allow prediction of reservoir facies and reconstruction of three-dimensional reservoir models. The course demonstrates the value of the reservoir model in volumetric assessment and development of carbonate reservoirs. Extensive practical sessions can utilise your own data or Robertson CGG Company’s extensive non-exclusive data.
This document provides an overview of carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems. It discusses the need to reduce CO2 emissions to mitigate climate change. CCS systems aim to capture over 80% of CO2 emissions from power plants and industrial facilities, transport it via pipelines or ships, and store it underground in geological formations or in the deep ocean. The document describes different capture methods including pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxyfuel combustion. It also discusses transportation and storage options as well as some real-world CCS project sites. While CCS could significantly reduce emissions, the technology is currently very expensive and poses risks if CO2 leaks from storage locations. More research is still needed to improve C
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.
The document provides an introduction to Bayesian inverse theory and its applications in subsurface characterization and reservoir modeling.

Cil birmingham presentation - 19 jan 2012 (2)Niicole93
Vail Williams LLP presented on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and development appraisals. CIL allows local authorities to charge developers per square meter to fund infrastructure. Rates vary significantly between authorities. CIL aims to provide a fairer system than section 106 agreements but adds costs. Development appraisals assess scheme viability considering values, costs, and market conditions to determine profitability and ability to pay CIL/section 106. Current market conditions make many types of development unviable outside of select areas like London.
BC Model - An Analysis of the Financial Viability of Customer Service Provide...Tanya Mendiratta
This document provides an analysis of the financial viability of the business correspondent model in India from the perspectives of customer service providers (CSPs or agents) and clients. The study found that agents are struggling with financial sustainability as commissions are often inadequate to cover costs. Clients also expressed a desire for more services through their no-frills accounts, rather than just basic transactions. The study recommends broadening the scope of no-frills accounts, directing more government payments through the BC channel, and increasing financial literacy among clients to improve viability and client satisfaction with the model. It analyzed data from surveys of agents and clients of several participating business correspondents to understand costs, revenues, challenges, and client expectations.
The survey found that marketers are committed to innovation and balancing traditional and emerging media in response to rapid changes in the media landscape.

Callan’s 2014 Investment Management Fee Survey provides a current report on institutional investment management fee payment practices and trends. To collect this information, Callan sent an electronic questionnaire to a broad sample of U.S.-based institutional fund sponsors and investment management organizations. Respondents provided fee information for calendar year 2013 (specific dates varied by organization, but the majority were as of December 31, 2013), and perspective on fee practices and perspectives for 2014. We supplemented this data with information from Callan’s proprietary databases to establish the trends observed in this report.
Callan conducted similar surveys in 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2011. We offer commentary regarding differences, where relevant, between historical survey results and the 2014 findings, along with observations reflecting both long- and short-term trends.
Seventy-two fund sponsors representing $859 billion in assets, and 211 investment management organizations with $15 trillion in assets under management, provided detailed fee practices and data on 15 asset classes. Results were supplemented by actual and published fee information sourced from Callan’s fund sponsor and investment manager databases, as well as other industry sources.
Key Findings:
*Investment management fees represent 46 basis points (bps), on average, of fund sponsors’ total assets, up from 37 bps in
2009. The difference between the median and average has climbed over this time period. Other data in Callan’s fee survey also reveals a divergence between the funds that pay the most and those that pay the least in investment management fees.
*The range between funds that paid the most (10th percentile) and those that paid the least (90th percentile) increased dramatically:
from 56 bps in 2009 to 73 bps in 2013. Differences in investment policy, and notably asset allocation, can lead to
substantial disparity in fees. While some funds are increasingly looking to low-cost, public market index strategies, others are
investing a greater portion of their portfolio in high-cost alternative assets. Other key survey findings include:
Alternatives, which are consistently the most expensive asset class, are facing fee compression: the median total asset class fee declined from 134 bps in 2009 to 99 bps in 2013, and the 90th percentile fell from 174 bps to 152 bps. Large allocations to alternatives can greatly increase overall investment management fees.
Correlations between percentage of total portfolio allocated to alternatives and fees paid (in bps) were strong in 2013 (+0.70).
Total U.S. and non-U.S. equity fees paid increased marginally from 2009 to 2011, but declined from 2011 to 2013. Median U.S. equity fees run about 60% of their non-U.S. counterparts. Non-U.S. fees are typically higher in part due to research expenses. Fixed income median expenses were flat from 2009 to 2013.
Aqua Park Qatar is the first and only water theme park in Qatar. It has become a major attraction in the state, welcoming over 500,000 visitors since opening in 2010.

2013 iea - potential for CO2 storage in oil gas shale reservoirsSteve Wittrig
The document discusses potential implications of gas production from shales and coals for geological storage of CO2. It finds that exploiting gas from shales and coals increases permeability and injectivity, potentially enhancing CO2 storage capacity. However, large-scale demonstration is still needed to confirm CO2 storage capabilities and capacities. Overlap between potential shale gas areas and saline aquifer storage sites may be considerable geographically but less so in 3D, so both resources could be used with care. Injectivity issues like coal swelling upon CO2 injection require further research.

Speaker: Michael Priestnall, Cambridge Carbon Capture
Ships will play a crucial role in establishing a Nordic carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure by providing flexible transportation of carbon dioxide between sources and storage sites. While some elements of using ships to transport liquefied CO2, such as storage tanks and loading/unloading equipment, have been proven at smaller scales, larger-scale ship transportation of CO2 faces challenges regarding offshore discharge conditions, periodic injection into reservoirs, and ensuring purity of the CO2. Ships provide an economically advantageous starting point compared to pipelines and can help enable a faster transition to a full CCS network in the Nordic region.

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).

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.

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.

3. Some numbers...
• Current emissions are around 30 Gt CO2 per year (8.5 Gt
carbon).
• Say inject at 10 MPa and 40oC – density is 600-700 kgm-3.
• This is about 108 m3/day or around 700 million barrels per day.
Current oil production is around 85 million barrels per day.
• Huge volumes – so not likely to be the whole story but could
contribute 1-3 Gt carbon/yr… or ~ 10 Gt CO2 pa
• Costs: 2-3 cents/kWh for electricity for capture and storage;
$40-100 per tonne CO2 removed – Shackley and Gough, 2006
4. Why CCS?
• CCS offers a vital role to balance grid
demand when renewables are not
generating.
• Without CCS, costs to halve emissions by
2050 rise by 70% in the electricity sector
(IEA CCS technology roadmap 2009)
• Industries such as Cement, and Iron and
Steel production intrinsically produce CO2.

12. Opportunities in CCS for GCC
• Already active demonstration activity in region
(In Salah, Masdar...)
• When accompanied by EOR, EGR improved
recoveries of valuable local resource
• Economic drivers
– CCS as part of CDM carbon credits
– Potential for GCC regional CO2 mitigation targets and
trading system?
• After energy efficiency, cheapest and quickest
route to ‘green electricity’ and reducing GHG
13
emissions...and only way if using fossil fuels
13. Opportunities in CCS for GCC
• CO2 capture costs often already in place
– Coproduction from gas wells with CH4
– Gas-to-Liquids GTL
• CCS for gas...green gas
– ~50% less CO2 per kW lower % efficiency penalty,
lower CCS cost per kW
• Widespread experience in region of gas injection
• Many available reservoirs/aquifers – huge
storage potential in carbonate reservoirs
• CCS as an industry in its own right is a major
potential economic opportunity...jobs, technology
14
14. Opportunities in CCS for GCC
• CCS powered by renewable energy?– no
efficiency penalty for power plant or additional
emissions for industrial processes
– Use solar energy for carbon capture (solvent
regeneration)
– Good fit – can use low temperature heat
• Potential in future to be ultimate green oil and
gas producers...combine production and CCS
– in situ pre-combustion and processing
15
15. CCS as a driver for increased energy efficiency
• The real cost of energy from fossil fuels = generation costs +
CO2 mitigation costs
• Pass CCS (and fossil fuel production) costs to consumer rise in
power costs
driver for increased energy efficiencies and savings
lower consumption and preservation of valuable
national resource
• Hence achieve three things
– Reduced CO2 emissions from power generation and industrial processes
(by CCS)
– Reduced CO2 emissions from reduced power consumption (by cost-
driven efficiency improvements)
– Reduced depletion of valuable non-renewable resources
• In GCC energy requirements likely to rise rapidly over next few
decades...so benefits of CCS even greater proportionately than in
e.g. Europe
