The Hope for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Meri Riski, Christoph Töpfer Energy and Sustainable Development Prof. Dr. Schleicher
Technique of CCS - Transport • Pipeline • compressed • Ship • liquified • Importancebetweenlocationofsourcesandstoragesite • Experience with gas transport • Nonetwork in Europe so far
Technique of CCS - Storage Source: Dürr (2009: 5) Source: IPCC (2005: 7, 199)
Economics of CCS • Costsareusuallyexpressed in costsofenergyproduction ($/MWh) orcostsofavoided CO2 ($/t) • CCS costsoccur in capture, transport, storage • Costsdepend on technology, fuelpricetrends, emissioncaps (ETS), investmentandtheassumptionthat CCS isappliedcommercially • Abatementcostsneedtobecomparedtorenewables • If CCS is not commercial in 2020 renewablesmightprovidebettereconomic potential
Capture PC=pulverized coal IGCC=integrated gasification combined cycle NGCC=natural gas combined cycle LCOE=levelised costs of electricity Source: IEA (2011: 38)
Comparisonof CCS withrenewables Electricity generation costs for CCS are estimated to 7-11ct/kWh in 2020 and 12 ct/kWh for the mix of renewables (without PV 10ct/kWh) (WIC, 2010: 236) Source: Dürr (2009: 7) Long term cost are seen to shrink to 30-48 €/t
Regulations and policies • timing • Where does the authority lie for different aspects of CCS? • development towards more comprehensive CCS regulatory framework around the world (Australia, EU, UK, USA,Korea & South Africa..) • geological stability, potential hazards and sub-surface property rights , criteria for site selection and use of a power plant can be defined
European Union, the CCS Directive (2009) • CCS process is achievable and available in larger scale from 2020. • The directive defines guidelines for the geological storage • safety and environmental requirements for storage • guidelines for proper monitoring of the installations and closed sites • the directive requires storage permits and exploration permits under nation states sovereignty • operator has to report the results of the monitoring to the competent authority at least once a year
