Implementing Decision 10/CMP.7CCS in the CDM Tim DixonIEA Greenhouse Gas R & D Programme UNFCCC 1st SDM Workshop 25 March
IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme • A collaborative international research programme founded in 1991 • Aim: To provide information on the role that technology can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from use of fossil fuels. • Focus is on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) • Producing information that is: • Objective, trustworthy, independent • Policy relevant but NOT policy prescriptive • Reviewed by external Expert Reviewers • Activities: Studies and reports (>250); International Research Networks : Wells, Risk, Monitoring, Modelling, Oxy, Capture, Social Research, Solid Looping; Communications (GHGT conferences, IJGGC, etc); facilitating and focussing R&D and demonstration activities eg Weyburn; Summer School; peer reviews.
10/CMP.7 Implementation Requirements EB: • Enable submission of methodologies and PDDs • Review CDM documents (Standards, Procedures, Guidelines, Forms) for changes to include requirements of CCS M&Ps • Enact changes if required and issue revised documents DOE, DNA, EB: • Enable consideration and processing of such applications • Including DOE, EB and DNA competencies and capabilities
Review of Documents.... For example: • Standards: Project Standard – needs updating Validation and Verification Standard – needs updating Baseline and Monitoring Methodology – Project Developer • Procedures: • Guidelines: • Annex, C.4(h) – DOE criteria - needed • Annex, C.4(b-g). Whether descriptions in 10/CMP.7 are sufficient to guide project developers to provide right information and level of detail for DOEs and DNAs? Or is further guidance required? • Site-specific nature of storage – avoid being too prescriptive, eg monitoring very site-specific • Draw upon existing best practice • Forms – need updating
Host Country • Ability to meet Participation Requirements • Capacity building required? Or self-development? • Ability for DNA to confirm Validation requirements
Existing Best Practice • Best Practice Guidelines, including: • USA NETL: Site Selection and Characterisation; Risk analysis; MVA; etc • DNV: CO2QUALSTORE, CO2PIPETRANS; CO2WELLS, etc • IEA: Model Legal Framework • IEAGHG technical reports, eg on site selection • Project-level permit and regulation decisions, eg • NRCan on QUEST project (2012) • EC on ROAD project (2012)
EB CCS Working Group • Establishment of CCS Working Group • Expertise required: • CCS technical • CCS regulatory/permit decisions • CDM methodology
Encourage all reviews and decisions on applications should be in relation to current best practice • Site-specific nature of storage
