Liaison activities with other organisations(GHG/07/46) • EPRI • CCS-CDM working group • CSLF • Financing CCS (joint IEA GHG – IEA CCC) • Det Norske Veritas (DNV) • EU – CCS Guidelines
Assessment Criteria – EPRI • IEA GHG uses standard technical and economic assessment criteria in its studies on CO2 capture • IEA GHG and EPRI will produce updated criteria • Taking account of EPRI’s experience from their Technical Assessment Guide (TAG) • Expanded to include other significant criteria • Provide sets of criteria for plants in other countries • EPRI has prepared a first draft of the Design and Estimating Basis • A workshop will be held to discuss this, possibly in early December, • IEA GHG Members are invited to participate; some members indicated interest already.
CCS- CDM working group • 3 workshops held. • 3rd workshop considered key CCS-CDM issues raised at last COP-MOP (2). • Group circulated headline conclusions for consideration by those making submissions to COP-MOP 3 in Bali, in December. • The submissions received have not yet been posted on the UNFCC website. • SBSTA 27 will discuss in Bali 3-11th December.
Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum • Agreement reached between IEA GHG and CSLF Technical Group • Details in Annex 1 of members papers • Includes representation by CSLF at ExCo • Currently through existing membership • IEA GHG representation at CSLF • John Gale nominated representative • Two way process to feed through ideas • Where work is performed jointly, due reference will be given to all parties • Action • Members invited to endorse co-operation between CSLF Technical Group and IEA GHG
Financing CCS Developments • Joint IEA GHG – IEA CCC activity. • 1st meeting was in summer of 2007. • Successfully involved the financial community • 2nd Financing CCS meeting: • New Yorker Hotel, New York, 28-29th May 2008 • 1st agreed Sponsor is World Coal Institute (WCI) • Other Sponsors Invited
DNV • Study on guidelines on site characterisation approved at 31st ExCo • At time IEA GHG had identified a number of groups working in same area one of which was DNV • DNV are a non profit organisation in Norway • Accredited verifier under UNFCCC • Standards body for off shore oil and gas industry • DNV has proposed a joint venture project supported by Gassnova to develop and qualify sites for geological storage
DNV • Sites will include oil and gas fields and deep saline aquifers • Methodology will be included in a Recommended Practise document • Incorporate; site selection, monitoring, risk assessment, remediation etc. • Aimed at project developers, regulators and planners • a Phase 1 project to develop a preliminary version of the RP will end in December 2007
DNV • IEA GHG propose to join Phase 2 of the project that will start in January 2007 • Develop a full RP • Draft available before SBSTA meeting in May • DNV work plan is compatible with IEA GHG aims for study • Slightly broader • IEA GHG believes it is more credible to work with an organisation like DNV than to develop guidelines on its own • Avoids duplication of effort • Work closely with a member organisation i.e. Gassnova • Get financial leverage by contributing to a larger project.
European Union – CCS Guidelines • EU established (2005) European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Power Plants (ZEP) • 10 to 12 demonstrations to be put in operation (target by 2015) • EU recognises state aid will be necessary • New guidelines for State Aid for Environmental Protection must provide a clear long-term framework for how state aid to CCS projects can be approved.
