ABOUT THE GLOBAL CCS INSTITUTE

Accelerates the adoption of CCS, a key solution in mitigating climate change and providing energy security.

Advocates for CCS as one of the options required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power generation and industrial sources.

Shares information from its international Membership, while building capacity to ensure that CCS can become a widely-used technology as quickly as possible.

Brings together projects, policy-makers and researchers to overcome the challenges facing CCS, ensuring a smooth and rapid roll-out of this vital technology.

THE GLOBAL STATUS OF CCS: 2012

Key Institute publication

Released October 2012.

Comprehensive coverage on the state of CCS projects and technologies.

Progress outlined since 2011.

Challenges and recommendations for moving forward.

KEY MESSAGE

Energy-related CO2 emission reductions by technology

SOURCE: IEANOTE: Percentages represent share of cumulative emissions reductions to 2050. Percentages in brackets represent share of emissions reductions in the year 2050.

ACTION IS NEEDED NOW TO ENSURE CCS CAN PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE1[

KEY MESSAGE

Storage site selection and characterisation remains a lengthy and costly process.

Public understanding of CCS remains low.

Need to bring down the costs of CO2 capture through technology developments and demonstration.

BARRIERS MUST BE OVERCOME TO REALISE THE BENEFITS OF CCS5[

KEY MESSAGE REDUCING THE COST OF TECHNOLOGY

THROUGH DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS IS VITAL6[

KEY MESSAGE ACCELERATION OF CCS DEPENDS ON

COLLABORATION AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING

CCS faces difficult and time-consuming challenges.

Sharing knowledge gained is critical to accelerating the deployment of CCS.

Collaboration and effort is required to increase the intensity and scope of knowledge sharing activities.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MENA REGION??

• The Middle East has some of the highest per capita emissions of CO2 in the world.

• The region has a number of natural advantages including excellent storage potential and many opportunities for EOR.

• Most work has been progressed in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, & Qatar.

• In North Africa the In Salah project, operational since 2004, injected around 1 million tonnes/year of carbon dioxide and plays an important role in the research and development of storage monitoring techniques.

UAE PROJECTS

Abu Dhabi CCS project is designed to capture about 6MtCO2/yr:

• Taweelah Power Co (TAPCO): Post-combustion retrofit to extract CO2

from an IWPP project with a capacity of 2,000MW of power and 160

MIGD of desalinated water. Estimated CO2 capture of approx 1.2m

tonnes a year.

• Emirates Steel Industries (ESI): Capture of process CO2 from a

dehydration and compression unit. Expected capture of approx 0.8m

tonnes a year of CO2.

• Emirates Aluminium (EMAL): Capture of process CO2 from an

aluminium smelter. Expected capture of approx 2.5m tonnes a year of

CO2.

• Habshan: Collection of CO2 from an industrial scale gas separation

plant. Expected capture of approx 0.6m tonnes a year of CO2.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DECISION MAKERS

Climate change legislation must not be delayed.

In order to achieve emission reductions in the most efficient and effective way CCS must not be disadvantaged.

Funding for CCS demonstration projects should be accelerated.

Expertise and learning must be shared.
