Carbon capture, storage and Usage; European Overview Daniel JansenDECAFF WG 5 convener CEN II

Abu Dhabi8 November 2016

Except for the Sleipner/Gudrun and Snøhvit projects in Norway, CCS has not yet taken off in Europe.

Status CCUS in Europe

• The lack of a business case for operating a CCS installation,• Problems with public acceptance for onshore storage of CO2

• The lack of a transport infrastructure• Concerns about longer term liability‐

• However Europe supported the introduction of CCUS with:– Economic Recovery Programme (EEPR) 1 B€ with the ongoing project ROAD– European Emission Trading Scheme (NER 300 - White Rose project award decision of up

to 300 M€). In April 2016 partners in White Rose have begun the process of winding down the operations of Capture Power Limited with an eventual closing of the business. This was related to the UK government’s decision to end the Carbon Capture and Storage commercialisation competition.

Europa; MS position towards CCS

Source: EERA

• The Energy Union strategy adopted by the European Commission is built on the ambition to achieve, in a cost-effective way, a fundamental transformation of Europe's energy system low carbon system.

• The SET plan is has been set up to support this transformation

• In the SET Plan 10 priority actions have been identified in order to step up the efforts to bring new, efficient and cost-competitive low-carbon technologies faster to the market and deliver the energy transition in a cost-competitive way.

• Action 9 concerns CCUS:

Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan; Position of CCUS

• Renewing efforts to demonstrate carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the EU and developing sustainable solutions for carbon capture and use (CCU);

– Enhanced efforts by Member States, in the implementation of large-scale integrated chain CCS demonstration projects in both power and industrial sectors

– At the EU level, apart from the support planned under Horizon 2020, future CCS projects may be able to benefit from the proposed Innovation Fund (NER 400’ to support highly innovative, low-carbon first-of-a-kind projects) and the Modernisation Fund, to support modernisation of energy systems in 10 lower-income Member States.

– Research and innovation should support carbon and energy intensive industries to explore the feasibility of CCS, focusing primarily on sectors with high-purity sources of CO2 to minimise capture costs. CCU options, such as transforming CO2 into fuels, chemicals and material, could further improve the economic case for CCS.

power sector;

• At least one commercial scale CCS project linked to an industrial CO‐ 2 source, having completed a FEED study;

• At least 1 active Project of Common European Interest for CO2 transport infrastructure, for example related to storage in the North Sea;

Source: SET Plan Issues paper Nr 9

• At least 3 pilots on promising new capture technologies, and at least one to test the potential of sustainable Bio CCS at TRL ‐6 7;‐

• At least 3 new CO2 storage pilots in preparation or operating in different settings;

• Setup of 1 Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) for demonstration of different aspects of industrial CCU, possibly in the form of Industrial Symbiosis.

• SET Plan countries having completed, if appropriate in regional cooperation with other MS, feasibility studies on applying CCS to a set of clusters of major industrial and other CO2 sources by 2025 2030, if applicable involving cooperation ‐across borders for transporting and storing CO2 (at least 5 clusters in different regions of the EU);

• New approach to international cooperation (EU interests will be protected better) but all calls are open to international participants.

CCS project and CCUS

• ECCSEL is a (not-for-profit) European research infrastructure consortium supported by the European Commission.

• ECCSEL comprises facilities from 9 countries representing a world-class research infrastructure based within leading European CCS institutions and knowledge centers.

• ECCSEL facilitates the development of technological marketable solutions from laboratory research scale to industrial facilities and promotes international collaboration between universities, research institutes and industry.

• ECCSEL will enable high-ranking researchers and scientists from all regions of Europe (and from third countries) to access research facilities to conduct advanced technological research actions relevant to CCS.

European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage laboratory Infrastructure

• Under the ERA-NET scheme, national and regional authorities identify research programmes they wish to coordinate or open up mutually.

• The participants in these actions are therefore programme 'owners' (typically ministries or regional authorities defining research programmes).

• ACT is an ERA-NET co-fund initiative on CCS

Accelerating CCS Technologies

• EERA is the public research pillar of the EU SET-Plan.

• Through Joint Programmes (JP) EERA contributes to make sure that the billions of euros invested in low carbon technologies each year are spent on the best possible solutions available.

• The EERA JPs are aligned with the priorities for low carbon technologies defined in the SET-Plan.

• The CCS JP is coordinating both national and European R&I programmes to maximise synergies, facilitate knowledge sharing and deliver economies of scale to accelerate the development of CCS.

EERA CCS

STEPWISE

• The overall objective of is to make an inventory of opportunities for collaboration between GCC and the EU.

• Opportunities – European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage laboratory Infrastructure

(ECCSEL)– ERA-NET ACT – EERA CCS– On going HORIZON 2020 CCUS projects focus on capture of industrial

CO2 sources i.e. Steel and Cement, CO2 infrastructure and Monitoring Marin CCS

Recap: Objective of this meeting

• CCS has not yet taken off in Europe despite all efforts the last decade

• However, to realise the target for GHG of -40% CCUS is inevitable

• The EU is renewing efforts to demonstrate CCS and developing sustainable solutions for CCU

• Action 9 of the SET Plan gives specific targets for CCUS in Europa by the year 2030

• Horizon 2020 calls are open to international participants i.e. GCC.
