The Role of Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU)...Ofori Kwabena
The role of Carbon Capture and Storage & Carbon Capture and Utilization-
Capturing carbon dioxide and storing (CCS) is a climate change mitigation technology which is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. The utilization of CO2 (CCU) in the manufacture of commercial products is also a technology used to complement CCS technology.
This paper presents a literature review on the mechanisms, developments, cost analysis, life cycle environmental impacts, challenges and policy options that are associated with these technologies.
This document summarizes a research project modeling a carbon dioxide gas absorber using methyl diethanol amine (MDEA). The research involved developing mathematical models of the absorber to predict variations in CO2 concentration and temperatures across the column. The models were implemented in MATLAB and results were validated using plant data. Simulation results showed good agreement with plant data and provided insight into how varying process parameters like MDEA concentration and gas flow rate affect absorber performance. The research concluded the developed models accurately modeled the absorber and recommended future work study the regeneration section and residence time dependence.
The document contains a list of typical process equipment used in reforming and catalyst regeneration sections of a refinery, including reactors, columns, vessels, furnaces, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors and blowers. It also provides comparisons of different reforming processes and their key parameters such as RON, reaction pressure, LHSV, H2/HC ratio, yield and cycle length. Finally, it summarizes the assessment of a recommended process/technology for criteria such as performance, reliability, safety, costs and flexibility.

Invited presentation at the 2012 WIB Symposium, “Innovation through Integration: Re-Inventing the Workforce System,” sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association of Workforce Investment Boards, State College, Pennsylvania. (see http://pawib2012.tumblr.com)
Shell Chemical LP, a petrochemical unit of Royal Dutch Shell, signed a land purchase option agreement with Horsehead Corporation, a producer of specialty zinc and zinc-based products and a recycler of electric arc furnace dust, to evaluate a site in western Pennsylvania for a potential petrochemical complex. The site is located in Potter and Center Townships in Beaver County near Monaca, Pennsylvania, which is 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
The site currently houses a Horsehead’s plant for zinc products and contains the only electrothermic zinc refining facility in the Western Hemisphere. If the land purchase option is exercised, Horsehead Corporation will vacate the Monaca facility by April 2014.
Shell’s plans for the complex include an ethane cracker that would process ethane feedstock from “wet” Marcellus Shale gas to supply ethylene for a wide variety of intermediate sales to industries and for final end use in manufactured products. “Cracking” involves heating and separating the large hydrocarbon chains found in fossil fuels such as natural gas and petroleum into lighter hydrocarbons such as ethane.
In this workshop, a report by the American Chemical Council (ACC) [Shale Gas and New Petrochemicals Investment: Benefits for the Economy, Jobs, and US Manufacturing] of the potential static U.S. job and tax impacts of ethane production is examined. Then, the results are presented from an analysis prepared by researchers from Penn State’s Institute for Research in Training & Development (IRTD) of the potential dynamic economic and demographic impacts of the Royal Dutch Shell petrochemical complex planned for western Pennsylvania. Special attention is paid to the implications that these impacts estimated by ACC and the IRTD hold for regional workforce development in Pennsylvania.

High Temperature Shift Catalyst Reduction ProcedureGerard B. Hawkins
High Temperature Shift Catalyst Reduction Procedure
The catalyst, as supplied, is Fe2O3. This reduces to the active form, Fe3O4, in the presence of hydrogen when process gas is admitted to the reactor.
1. The mildly exothermic reactions are:
3 Fe2O3 + H2 ========= 2 Fe3O4 + H2O
3 Fe2O3 + CO ========= 2 Fe3O4 + CO2
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to liquid form for storage or transport. It takes up 600 times less space than gas in its gaseous state. LNG is predominantly methane and is odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. It can be transported via tankers and re-gasified for distribution as pipeline natural gas. Global LNG demand is expected to continue growing significantly in the coming decades as new supply projects are developed. Bangladesh currently imports LNG through floating storage and regasification units but is also considering developing permanent land-based LNG facilities.

Introduction To Electromagnetic CompatibilityJim Jenkins
Here are a few key points about ground in the context of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):
- Ground is a common reference point in an electrical system that all other voltages are measured against. It establishes a baseline voltage level.
- In EMC, ground plays an important role in providing a return path for electromagnetic interference (EMI) currents. These currents, known as common mode currents, flow on cables and are looking for a way to complete their circuit back to the source.
- An ideal ground would have zero impedance and instantly drain away any EMI currents. In reality, all grounds have some finite impedance that can allow currents to couple into other circuits.
- Different grounding schemes are used, such

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.

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.

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.
Webinar Series: Public engagement, education and outreach for CCS. Part 4: Is...Global CCS Institute
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.

The Global CCS Institute launched The Global Status of CCS: 2016 at a dedicated event at the 22nd conference of the parties (COP 22) in Marrakech on Tuesday, 15 November.
The Global Status of CCS: 2016 report is an essential reference for industry, government, research bodies, and the broader community, providing a comprehensive overview of global and regional CCS developments.
Following the report launch, we will run a number of webinars commencing in November 2016, through to early 2017.
A Summary of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 will be accessible on our website from 15 November, and includes updates on key CCS facilities, including two major facilities now in operation:
Shell’s Quest Project in Canada
Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project in Japan
These projects are significant 2016 milestones and testament to the safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness of CCS as an integral technology to meeting Paris Agreement climate change targets.
Please join us for the first of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 webinar series.
Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest CCS Project
As one of a handful of large-scale CCS projects currently injecting CO2 into a dedicated saline aquifer storage site, Shell’s Quest project offers a unique case study into the performance of dedicated storage. The Quest project injects CO2 into the Basal Cambrian Sandstone located 2 km below the surface. After the first year of operations, the Quest reservoir has exceeded internal expectations. While the original premise called for eight wells, today only two of three constructed injection wells take 100 per cent of project volumes (~140 tonnes /hr).
In this webinar, Simon O’Brien, Shell Quest Subsurface Manager, discussed storage performance at Quest after one year of operations as well as early results from the measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) plan.

‘‘Figma AI’’ is one of the sophisticated Artificial Intelligence based digital design and prototyping tools which has transformed the way of designers shape and share the user interfaces and experience. In essence, Figma AI is a set of advanced AI technologies aimed at improving design operations’ productivity, innovation, and accuracy. Here’s a detailed exploration of what Figma AI offers:Here’s a detailed exploration of what Figma AI offers:
**Intelligent Design Assistance:**
Another form of AI used in Figma is Real-Time Collaboration and Suggestions that go further by providing the designers with improvements as they design. It utilizes design, layout, and user flow analysis algorithms that involve machine learning to give well-structured recommendations based on the site’s design and layout as well as other designs in the current market. Moreover, this capability not only brings advantages in the aspect of time; it also benefits from the viewpoints of homogeneity and practicability across the projects.
**Automated Prototyping:**
It is also noteworthy that Figma AI can autonomously work on creating prototypes. Designers can provide the core functionalities and limitations of a system and the AI engine forms hypotheses of the prototypes which can be animated and include features like buttons and sliders. This minimize hours of work, and enable designers to work on polishing interaction and user experience aspects rather than having to create prototypes from the ground.
**Adaptive Design Systems:**
Figma AI helps in using the design systems that automatically adapt to various optimal graphic sizes and contexts of the devices. From the users’ statistics and reviews, it can propose slight modifications of the design elements that work best on different devices. This makes the deliveries user-friendly for all consumers irrespective of how they come across the product.
**Natural Language Interface:**
Another great special inclusion in Figma AI is the incorporation of NLI, which incorporates natural language to come with designers in a plain language. Designers can state or explain what they want to design, ask about some principles in the design or even more ask to create a certain asset in design, while Figma AI answers with a related design suggestion or completes a given task.
**Collaborative Design Insights:**
Being an AI tool meant to help the design teams coordinate, Figma AI provides an insight into collaborative design choices and users’ feedback. It detects areas of possible design discrepancies, proposes changes based on amass data, and facilitates the quick redesign at the same time avoiding inefficiency of the design.
**Ethical Design Considerations:**
Acknowledging the hereby discussed problem of ethical design practices, Figma AI employs algorithms that bring attention to certain biases or accessorial concerns emerging from design decisions.

Utilizing pigged pipeline technology proves advantageous for the transfer of a diverse range of products. Addressing a significant challenge in Lube Oil Blending Plants, pigged manifolds seamlessly interconnect numerous source tanks with various destinations like filling and loading. This innovative approach enhances efficiency and resolves complexities associated with managing multiple product transfers within the blending facility.
Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.

9. UNFCCC decision of CCS in CDMUNFCCC decision of CCS in CDM
• By decision 10/CMP.7 (At Durban in 2011), the Conference of the Parties
serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) adopted
the modalities and procedures for carbon dioxide capture and storage in
geological formations (CCS) as CDM project activities
• In the same decision, the CMP requested the Subsidiary Body for Scientific
and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to consider the following:
• (a) CCS project activities which involve the transport of carbon dioxide
(CO2) from one country to another or which involve geological storage sites
that are located in more than one country;
• (b) A global reserve of certified emission reductions (CERs) for CCS project
activities, in addition to the 5 per cent reserve referred to in decision
10/CMP.7, annex, paragraph 21
10. UNFCC- COP18/CMP8 decision on CCS underUNFCC- COP18/CMP8 decision on CCS under
CDMCDM
• 40. Decides that the eligibility under the clean development mechanism of carbon
dioxide capture and storage in geological formations project activities which involve
the transport of carbon dioxide from one country to another or which involve
geological storage sites that are in more than one country and the establishment of a
global reserve of certified emission reduction units for carbon dioxide capture and
storage in geological formations project activities shall be considered by Subsidiary
Body for Scientific and Technological Advice at its forty-fifth session
• 41. Also decides that while carbon dioxide capture and storage in geological
formations project activities which involve the transport of carbon dioxide from one
country to another or which involve geological storage sites that are in more than
one country would merit inclusion under the clean development mechanism,
more practical experience of carbon dioxide capture and storage project
activities in geological formations under the clean development mechanism
would be beneficial;
11. Key Messages / DevelopmentsKey Messages / Developments
• Only modest CCS-specific policy developments have occurred in the past 12 months,
however there has been a rebalancing of climate policy settings for carbon pricing
more generally.
• The level of funding for CCS demonstration projects is increasingly vulnerable and
level of funding support still available will service fewer projects.
• The current mix of policy settings and prevailing regulatory environments are
somewhat supportive of positive investment decisions in CCS demonstration
projects, but policy settings over the medium to longer term are seen to be
largely inadequate to ensure future project viability.
• Source: The global status of CCS /2012 report
12. ConclusionConclusion
Policy, legal, and regulatory developments are key
factors determining whether CCS will progress as an
important GHG mitigation technique. There is a wide
range of policy, legislation, and regulation that is
relevant to CCS, from international climate change
agreements, through national climate and energy
policy, to project-specific legislation and regulation.
