CCS – Environmental Impacts Roger Barrowcliffe, 14 November 2007
Opportunities for environmental impact Fuel extraction Fuel transport Power Generation Emissions CO2 storage CO2 transport Waste products
Fuel – environmental issues ‘Fuel penalty’ has implications for: • Use of a finite resource • Socio-economic impacts • GHG and other emissions • Occupational risk Fuel transport has implications for: • GHG and other emissions
CO2 transport/pipelines Additional pipelines associated with: • Temporary land take and ecological impact • Temporary socio – economic impact • Risk of rupture and consequent hazard • Energy use through compression
CO2 storage • Use of offshore reservoirs associated with risk of: • Leaks to seawater and effect on ocean pH • Accidental release at the wellhead • Onshore reservoirs associated with: • Leakage, rupture and risk to humans/ecosystems
Peterhead Power Station – the process (2) Capture, transport and storage of CO2 Pre-Combustion Decarbonisation Power generation H2O + NOX and residual CO2 H2O + ½ O2 CO2 Hydrogen rich fuel Syngas Natural gas Electric Power Gas turbines and HRSGs Shift conversion of CO to CO2 CO2 Capture Reformer Partial Oxidation: CH4 + ½ O2 = CO + 2H2 & Steam Reforming: CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2 Water Gas Shift Conversion: CO + H2O = CO2 + H2

Summary of environmental issues • Most impacts are modest – but widely distributed • Some impacts are unknown and constitute risks
