    Development of a common

    CCS infrastructure in the UKBy James Watt, Technical Manager, CCS, AMEC, Darlington, UK

    The future deployment of CCS transport infrastructure is likely to be via common carrier networks rather than multiplesinge point to point solutions. This article discusses some of the issues around development of common infrastructure.The results from a number of studies in the UK are presented, including Teesside, Humber, Scotland, and the Mersey andDee clusters, as well as considerations for the East, South West, and South East of the UK. Discussed are the commonissues to all developments, critical assumptions, development of cluster scenarios, screening of emitters, modelling andcosting of pipeline networks and compression, and some of the other challenges facing implementation in the UK. Inparticular, the results from a study on Teesside will be used to illustrate the issues and costs facing some emitters, the

    impact and potential of shipping, the failure to develop CCS projects and realities facing network development.

    UK common infrastructure studiesThere are a number o common inrastructure studies o global

    signifcance as highlighted by the GCCSI [1]. 14 storage-only

    projects were identifed and 17 associated with enhanced oil

    recovery (EOR). Four o the storage-only common inrastructure

    projects are in the UK, more than any other nation. The our

    identifed are Thames [2], Humber [3], Scotland [4], and Teesside

    [5], but urther common inrastructure studies have been

    completed. All are at various levels o detail rom simple studies

    to the most advanced in the Humber, which is at pre-ront-end

    engineering and design (FEED) level. What they show is a high

    potential or common inrastructure in the UK. These our regions

    are joined by the Mersey and Dee basin which was frst studied

    in 2006 [6], while other studies have consider the North West

    [7], and Greater South East [8] (Thames estuary, south eastern

    counties, London and southern counties) looking at the potential

    o clusters. Overall, the geography and density o emitters i the

    UK promotes the ormation o common inrastructure. The studies

    conducted have also led to the resolution o key considerations

    or uture developments:

    Denition of potential common infrastructureThe most important considerations are or the development

    o clusters are the selection or storage sites and the inclusion o

    emitters. Location o potential storage sites and emitters dictates

    the practical shape o pipeline systems. There are a number o

    studies in this area varying in detail. Currently common are GISenabled source/sink matching and optimisation which match

    sources to sinks under a timeline scenario [9]. These studies show

    time based progression o potential inrastructure, generally on a

    large scale. Other reports are more practical in defnition looking

    at smaller areas or specifc onshore developments, these latter

    studies consider the issues at more detail.

    The areas that may be considered clusters vary, no clear

    technical defnition is yet proposed. How defnition o a cluster

    occurs can be looked at in a number o ways:

    Committed anchor projects numerous projects with

    CCS ambitions

    Density o emissions Regional policy

    Proximity o emitters

    High potential o accessible storage volumes.

    Groups or single projects that can act as a solid base or

    scenario defnitions can also enable inrastructure clusters.

    These anchor projects are generally frst movers with capture,

    storage, or EOR ambitions. For example the desire to utilise the

    Hewitt ormation [10] as a storage site with an operator willing to

    support CCS development should enable and encourage emitters

    with CCS plans to utilise that acility and locate accordingly, such

    as in the East o England. Similarly the East Irish Sea [11] has

    signifcant storage potential and could enable CCS on the UKs

    east coast. The Longannet project in Scotland, Don Valley IGCCproject in Humber, and Progressive Energys Eston Grange project

    in Teesside all provide the same ocus rom which scenarios can

    be derived. The critical elements remain; where do you store and

    which emitters will deploy capture in the uture.

    Inuence of storage locationThe location and development o storage sites is potentially

    the frst area that must be looked at when considering common

    inrastructure studies. The storage sites availability provides two

    key actors: how much can be stored, and where. Other actors

    included the type o storage site, the timeline through which

    it may be made available, and the potential re-use o existinginrastructure. The location and the development o storage over

    time sets the shape o the inrastructure, whereas the volumes

    over time defne part o the systems capacity and pressure

    profles. The type o storage also causes issues regarding pressure

    and ow: or example, a low-pressure reservoir on a common

    network will require de-pressuring, while some stores may need

    additional pressure. An optimum design approach needs to be

    considered or uture plans, balanced against the risk o earlyinvestment in large systems.

    A simple example is the decisions taken in the Humber studies.

    Here the options or a common pipeline system drive the overall

    shape. Early discussions on the potential storage options see the

    Humber connect to the Southern North Sea targeting depleted

    hydrocarbon felds (DHF) and potential deep saline ormations

    (DSF). This was over the potential o the central North Sea

    ormations or EOR. Picking a southern target orientates the

    pipeline route south o Hull, while a northern target, central

    North Sea, would drive a pipeline route north o Hull. This

    changes the shape and inevitable operation o a network. The

    purpose is to enable as many emitters as possible and, as shown

    in Figure 1, orientation north and south has distinct dierences.The southern routeing is an optimal routeing where the network

    alls to a single pipeline along a common route, minimising the

    number o stranded assets. The northern route requires a major

    river crossing to enable the acilities on the south bank o the

    Humber, but essentially the network is much more branched,

    connecting to a common pipeline just prior to going oshore.

    The inuence o storage site location can be clearly seen.

    Inuence of emittersEmitters are the other major driver; their size, type, deployment

    timeline, and location all have inuenced inrastructure plans.

    The optimum network considers all the emitters in a cluster, buthas to impose screening to ensure that the scenario is sound.

    The inuence o size was frst explored in the study o the

    Mersey and Dee basin [6] in North West UK. This study, providing

    a modelling tool or common inrastructure, considers the

    region as a test example. The inrastructure here considered

    the use o high- and medium-pressure pipelines, with low-

    pressure pipelines transporting CO2 gas in standard polyethylene

    pipelines or low-ow, small, emitters. The cost o a networkvaries with the size o emitters and, as the emitters join an

    optimised network, there is a marked increase in the marginal

    network costs or emitters. This led to the introduction o tiers

    0, 1, and 2, a coarse way o indicating the size o an emitter and

    screening them.

    The early study clearly showed marginal costs or small

    emitters,

    The completion o the emitters profle or a cluster is a simple

    survey o the current and uture emitters. Current emitter data

    can be located rom government databases and rom various

    international databases or generated rom generic emissions/

    capacity metrics. Future emitters need to be considered so that

    any common inrastructure is o the right size to accommodate

    them. In addition there is the possibility that an installed

    common inrastructure may attract CCS-enabled projects to a

    region. Early studies considered only installed emitters, but later

    studies have considered potential emitters to enable right sizing

    to occur.Emitter type is considered as the frst screening mechanism.

    The most common screening is emitters that are oshore:

    whilst the technology exists to capture the CO2 emitted rom

    gas processing or power generation oshore it is viewed as a

    medium-, i not long-term, target. In Scotland, when considering

    a single inrastructure model, 48 per cent o the emissions or that

    region are rom oshore acilities (Figure 3). Other emitter types

    may not be suitable or capture, although urther study o this

    is required. For some emitters, particularly the smaller emitters,

    an evaluation has to be made as to whether a acility can host a

    capture plant or would be suitable to do so.

    The most common screen applied in studies should be size.Size classifcation typically uses three tiers splitting emitters into

    large, medium, and small. The classifcation is based on marginal

    connection costs, typically on onshore pipeline costs. In the

    recent Teesside study the small emitters marginal cost, in terms

    o overnight CAPEX, was 73/tonne, medium emitters

    22/tonne, and or the large emitters 8/tonne. The impact o

    adding medium emitters reduces the overall costs slightly, and

    urther adding the small emitters increases the cost. Similar

    results were expressed in the Mersey and Dee. The inclusion o

    small emitters

    all obstructions identifed. Guidance in the UK at least is explicit:

    any CO2 pipeline is to be considered as conveying a dangerous

    substance, and this ensures that the most stringent rules are

    applied. Issues around the impact o CO2 pipeline dispersion

    modelling and consequence analysis need to be resolved to

    enable more-accurate routeing studies to be made. As guidance,

    the minimum requirements o an appropriate standard such as BS

    PD 8010:1 should be applied. The band o interest or a pipeline

    then allows access to be assessed. Where a pipeline cannot gain

    access to a site, alternatives should be considered; intermediatetransmission as a gas may be applicable or short distances

    through crowded areas, or example. However some sites are not

    accessible by pipeline due to the urban density, site congestion,

    or environmental constraints. These sites can then be excluded

    rom a cluster, or placed later into the deployment scenario.

    The requirement or access to storage is undamental and, in

    considering a common inrastructure, should have already been

    considered. For individual sites, the actor inorms screening

    capture technology or economic studies. In a recent assessment

    o the potential or capture technology roll-out to gas-fred

    generators, this element was used to screen remote sites, where

    storage access is remote, beore consideration or inclusion intoa pipeline system. In the UK it is rare that an installation does

    not have access, however expensive, but or acilities deep inland

    with only oshore storage it becomes an economic determination

    between the cost o pipeline and storage, simple release to

    atmosphere, plant technology change, or closure.

    The age o an emitter also inorms the design o common

    inrastructure. The simple question is whether the plant is viable

    to receive carbon capture or will be continuing long enough to

    warrant it. One o the critical assumptions that have to be made

    about uture projects also relates to existing emitters and their

    end-o-service date. For the most part the consideration has to

    be given that existing emitters will continue, i not as-installed

    then replaced in the uture. There is a beneft rom re-plantingexisting sites and as such common inrastructure would enable

    current and uture plant. But there will be scenarios where over

    the lietime o a network plants will close. The reasoning is

    complex economically and socially, but an assessment should

    be made. The loss o a plant can have a considerable eect on an

    inrastructure in term both CAPEX and OPEX.

    Scenario developmentScreened emitters then orm the basis o the design o a

    scenario or deployment. Whilst this may evolve during the

    design o inrastructure, it is benefcial to defne a baseline at an

    early stage. In addition, the baseline should include developmento storage sites. Development o clusters is highly dependent

    on timing, both or emitters and storage. For storage, the timing

    o availability drives the oshore development as well as the

    Figure 7: Deployment to storage scenario.

    expectations o use. Some depleted gas felds may not be

    suitable or CCS or may be more suitable as commercial gas

    storage sites. Oshore inrastructure age is also a consideration,

    as is the lag time rom depleted hydrocarbon feld (DHF) closure

    to uptake o CCS. Idle acilities incur ongoing costs when not

    in production. Determination o storage availability thereore

    shapes oshore common inrastructure in terms o location and

    pipeline-operating parameters.

    For example, consider three storage sites two DHFs andone deep saline ormation (DSF). I the frst store online is a

    small DHF in 2015, typically used or a demonstration plant,

    Figure 7. The frst pipeline will run to that feld. In 2020 a

    nearby DHF storage site opens or CCS and urther along a

    DSF opens in 2025. Enabling these rom the existing 2015

    pipeline requires the installation to be expandable and the

    initial pipeline to be right-sized, in order to accommodate

    uture demand. Optimisation needs to be considered and also

    reliability and risks to common inrastructure. Overall, more or

    higher-capacity pipelines need to be installed to accommodate

    2017 and 2025. By considering the whole scenario, the initial

    investment may be higher but benefcial in the uture, This kind

    o cost beneft, along with realistic costs o roll-out and oshoreoptions, is yet to be ully considered, particularly examining

    the needs or oshore installations, compression and pumping,

    and other common acilities.

    For emitters timing, size, and type are the critical

    scenario actors. When considering type this relates to entry

    specifcation o the gas as well as the type actors used in

    screening, and care has to be taken to ensure that new entrants

    to common inrastructure do not push the content out o the

    design conditions. To protect against this, the inrastructure

    owner will need to tightly control entry specifcations. A typical

    entry specifcation is commonly applied: one derived rom the

    Dynamis [14] recommendations includes the ranges rom mostprocesses. There remain issues to address with the specifcation

    predominantly the water content requirements still need to be

    examined to avoid potential corrosion.

    Costs to emitters are typically ignored during current

    studies, but they do inuence deployment scenarios. The

    ability o an emitter to enable CCS is dependent on cost, both

    o the emission and the technology. For medium to small

    emitters, or even non-power generation large emitters, capture

    technology and high-pressure compression may at current

    costs prove economically unviable. This consideration is policy

    driven as policy is driving deployment rates, particularly the

    demonstrator projects which are heavily publicly unded.

    As experience at scale, or with lower-cost new technologies,

    cost will decrease and deployment will accelerate. In reality,

    medium and small emitters are usually shown to lag large-scale

    emitters, a lag also dependent on emitter sector in terms o

    deployment timescale.

    Slow starts to common inrastructure with signifcant lead

    times requires early periods where initial investment is not

    being recovered at low utilisation o pipelines. The other eect

    is that investments may become delayed or negated by policy,

    deleting uture projects rom network scenarios.

    Pipeline, compression and pumping

    considerations and cost modelsThe costs associated with compression or pumping are

    not easily derived, and there are a number o suggested

    models (Table 1). Common compressor systems in natural gas

    transmission are the natural correlation; however the ormat o

    the compression stage is variable, Figure 4. Unlike natural gas,

    change o phase is expected to be required rom gas to dense-

    phase liquid and is not easily constructed. Direct correlation

    with natural gas transmission compressors is not readily

    possible as CO2 compressors require ancillary cooling systems

    to achieve the phase change and inter-stage cooling is typically

    required to improve eciency, Figure 5. The additional option

    o pumps in series with the compression step also deviates romthe natural gas model, Figure 6, in which a compressor and

    cooler arrangement can be used to produce medium pressures

    and liquid carbon dioxide which can then be pumped.

    O course some studies only consider the pipeline cost or thepressurisation to network pressure, and this ignores the initial

    compression stage post capture. With limited experience in the

    feld, and the demonstration projects at scale yet to come on line,

    the actual costs are unknown. Analysis rom results o completed

    scale engineering studies, with vendor cost inormation show a

    marked dierential. The expectation is that rom Table 1, Equn

    1 produces high estimates, whilst Equns 2 and 3 typically show

    100 per cent low yields, against costs generated by vendors and

    detailed engineering studies; or systems in the range 15 MMt/a

    transported.

    Critically it becomes important to defne where in any study

    the compression stage lies. Whilst not currently addressed,

    consideration needs to be given to the act that heat recoveryrom the coolers may be benefcial. In common inrastructure,

    the exibility o the systems also becomes a major driver, and

    again more work is needed to examine the issues o exibility

    and utilisation. Pipeline costs themselves can be transposed rom

    existing data; however, the costs associated with above-ground

    installations, block valves, and metering remain to be confrmed.

    Repeatedly, through dierent economic analyses, UK clusters

    have indicated a 23 times cost saving or networks, although this

    is higher in Scotland with its lower CO2 density/sq km in the study

    area when compared to Humber and Tees.

    Common infrastructure for the Tees ValleyThe recent study on Teesside considered scenarios where anetwork was created or transport in the region and into a single

    common carrier pipeline in the North Sea. The overall scenario

    was tested against other scenarios, three o which were the ailureo predicted projects to arrive. Figure 8 summarises the results

    rom the 14 scenarios comparing the minimum cost in each

    oshore deployment scenario to the others giving an indication

    o the cost variances. The costs here are shown as indicative

    overnight costs with no time weighting or economic assessment.

    The striking scenarios are those that show the dierential

    between single emitter to storage solutions (scenario 11). Large

    emitters 11a, 11b, and 11d clearly show the 23 actor multiple

    between these costs and those o a network. In scenario 11c

    a medium-sized power plant the cost is signifcantly higher at

    40115 times, depending on scenario (oshore pipeline distance)

    so the beneft o a network is considerable.

    Scenario 12 also shows the marginal connection cost ora remote emitter, and the cost o connecting to the existing

    network. That this pipeline costs at 12 times that o a network

    pipeline illustrates the additional actors that aect remote

    assets, typical to cement, orestry-associated biomass, ceramics,

    or potash processing plants. This marginal connection cost also

    aects emitters spread over large geographic areas.

    What is clear is the trend that greater volumes through the

    system reduce the liecycle cost per tonne transported. The

    Teesside study also considers the addition o a large remote

    source (scenario 13) and the inuence o ship-based imports

    (scenario 14) on cost. In the case o scenario 13, the remote emitter

    contributed a urther 5 MMt/a to the oshore carrier pipeline,reducing the costs to the network. The additional volume

    outweighs the cost o the additional pipeline and connection.

    Similarly the addition o shipping to a network showed a

    beneft, depending on how the cost o the associated terminal

    was assigned. The volume imported reduces the cost, but could

    also add valuable buer storage to a network. I the cost o the

    terminal acility is shared by networked emitters, then the cost

    per tonne marginally increases. For export the costs are

    34 times higher, but these exclude oshore cost or unloading

    and injection, and this thereore needs urther consideration.

    Another element tested in this study was the loss o projects,

    something not tested beore in other studies. Three test scenarios

    were used based on the arrival o two uture projects a 1000MWCCGT north o the Tees and an 850 MW IGCC south o the

    river. In addition the loss o a steelworks, one o the regions

    largest emitters was also modelled. These three large projects,

    particularly the current steelworks, represent anchor projects,

    large-volume emitters that are signifcant percentages o the

    regions emissions. The ailure to develop either new project

    (scenarios 9 and 10) increases network costs by 6 per cent (north)

    and 45 per cent (south). The loss o the existing steelworks, or

    ailure to capture CO2, results in 20 per cent higher network costs.

    The importance thereore o mapping uture projects, current

    emitter plans, and technology roll-outs is important in optimising

    and understanding common inrastructure.

    Development of UK infrastructureThe development o CCS inrastructure in the UK is dicult to

    predict. The major blocker is a clear view o how UK projects will

    come to market. By 2015 the frst demonstration project will be

    online, potentially closely ollowed by three or our more with

    the aid o EPR, NER, and urther DECC unding. Post-2020, when

    the technology may be considered mature, the roll-out becomes

    driven by investment based on the avoided ETS or oor price cost

    o carbon. The mechanism to drive CCS is currently not in place.

    Large roll-out as predicted in the IEA roadmap [15] will require

    the commercial incentive to develop CCS. This will require clear

    regulation, higher carbon prices and a technology less expensive

    and more developed than it is now.

    Transport inrastructure has its part to play, and reductions

    anywhere in the chain o technology are valuable. The rate at

    which a technology matures and cost decreases due to experience

    and optimisation cannot yet be determined or capture and

    storage. For capture technology, several comparative studies

    such as Rubin [16] and IEA [17] (2006/6) compare capture plant

    to the evolution o ue-gas-desulphurisation (FGD) technology.

    The learning rate or FGD o 1113 per cent or each doubling o

    capacity may be applied, but or FGDs but this is only a trend.In reality, the cost o wet FGD remained constant or almost six

    doublings o installed capacity. From initial deployment to the

    downswing in costs rom maturing technology was over a decade;

    this included signifcant increases in cost or early projects. In

    terms o demonstration projects o 300 MW equivalent, this would

    require 9.6 GW equivalent o deployed CCS beore signifcant cost

    reductions occur.

    With the deployment required to achieve major savings in

    capture, savings or at least reductions in CAPEX can come

    rom pipelines. Common inrastructure oers signifcant cost

    reductions, but with an upront investment based on a frst-

    mover project. To examine the most recent study in the Humber

    [18] considered the economics o developing networks. The

    study showed clearly that deployed projects in a region, even

    in small networks oered major savings. Economic analysis

    urther showed that investment in right-sizing pipelines to uture

    capacity was benefcial, with a no-regrets period o 16 years.

    Investment early thereore would deliver low-cost transport

    solutions at the point that comparative learning rates indicate

    capture technology will start to deliver at lower costs.

    There are other drivers that can aect the deployment rates

    and thereore the need to develop inrastructure. Political, social,

    and energy issues will drive CCS to deployment. Socially the

    climate change agenda is driving opinion and in turn this drives

    policy. Critically the energy-security issue will drive the UK andother European countries to consider the need to deploy gas

    and coal-fred generation should nuclear and renewable energy

    deployment not meet the required capacity targets. I carbon-

    reduction targets are to be met, then CCS will have to be deployed

    as will new gas- and coal-fred generation.

    Other actors that will play a part in the deployment rate

    include the ability to gain fnance/unding or early projects,

    storage identifcation/qualifcation, technology deployment rates,

    and social issues such as planning. The critical issue is that o

    storage identifcation and access: some studies, such as those

    by Kjarstad [19], EU [8], and CO2 Europipe [20] identiy storage

    capacity and provide high level indicative inrastructure routesand costs. But the proving o the geological inormation needs to

    be progressed. In the short term, consideration needs to be given

    to the oshore inrastructure requirements and the enabling o

    existing inrastructure to be maintained and preserved until CCS

    deployment can include it.

    Social issues will aect inrastructure development in terms

    o location and planning. Recent experience in both natural gas

    and CCS projects has seen major plans deerred or cancelled. The

    impact on permitting can be considerable. Simple assumptions

    in scenarios can take a lower-risk approach when considering the

    use o brown-feld sites to co-locate CCS aculties such as booster

    stations or the onshore/oshore transition terminals.

    In terms o development, scenarios can be built rom the

    programme o unding and current projects. One scenario or

    deployment is shown in Figure 9, showing potential network

    shapes in line with the DECC-unded competitions and a swing

    in power generation to CCS post-2025. In this scenario it can

    clearly be seen by examining the project emitter deployment that

    common inrastructure installed in early projects can be used to

    enable uture expansion.

    ConclusionsCommon inrastructure development is clearly justifed,

    benefcial, and economic. The studies or UK regions, EU-wide

    inrastructure, and other regional work clearly indicate broad

    themes and generate common inuences. There is also a case or

    common inrastructure planning or even single-emitter projects,

    and it should be included at the demonstration phase. The

    success o common inrastructure not only requires commitment

    in terms o projects and fnance, but also a strong technical basis

    in industry and academia, supportive policy and, ultimately, an

    inormed and supportive populace.

    Should common inrastructure be deployed, co-ordinated

    planning, exchange o inormation between projects, and supporto initial pipeline design enabling uture volumes and right sizing

    is not only desirable but warranted.
