5. Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) Snapshot
CCS = collection of CO2 emissions from plants, transportation via pipeline and permanent storage underground
Capture of emissions from power and industrial facilities
Main technologies for power CCS: pre-combustion, post combustion and oxy-fuel
Storage techniques used for several decades for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
23 million t/d of CO2 are currently being captured and stored around the world O C O

6. State of the Nation – CCS Deployment
22 large-scale CCS projects in operation or construction globally.
Capacity to capture up to 40 mill. tpa of CO2 eq. 8 million cars off the road.
14 large-scale CCS projects in advanced planning stages
9 in the power sector, many of which are anticipated to take a FID in 2014/15.
1st large-scale CCS project in the power sector went live at Boundary Dam in Canada on 2nd October, 2014
Abu Dhabi CCS Project in the UAE (expected to come online in 2016) will be the world’s first large-scale CCS project in the iron and steel sector
The next two large-scale CCS projects in the power sector are planned to come online in the US:
Southern Company’s Kemper County Energy Facility in Mississippi (2016), and the Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project in Texas (2016)
The US, Canada and China leading the world in the development and deployment of CCS projects
Recent US-China emissions agreement likely a catalyst for accelerated CCS deployment.
The UK is at the vanguard of CCS commercialisation in Europe

7. CCS Drivers
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessment Report (2013):
“It is extremely likely [>95% certainty] that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed [climate] warming since the mid-20th century”1
IPCC recommends reduction of global CO2 emissions by 50 – 85% by 2050
IEA recommends CCS contributes to 14% of cumulative CO2 emissions reduction to 2050
UK 2008 Climate Change Act – legally binding CO2 targets (80% cut in CO2 emission level by )
ETI indicate cost of reducing CO2 emission level without CCS in UK would equate to 1% GDP (£ £40Bn/yr)
IEA projects that the cost of meeting a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 would increase by 40% without CCS3
The main piece of regulation for CCS across Europe is the EU CCS Directive on Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Directive 2009/31/EC), which came into force on 25 June 2009.

8. White Rose CCS - Project Snapshot
A full-chain integrated CCS project incorporating a new ultrasupercritical Oxy Power Plant, up to 448 MWe (gross)
Located Drax, North Yorkshire providing >300 MWe clean power, equivalent to the needs of 630,000 homes
100% of flue-gas treated, 90% CO2 capture rate → 2 MTPA
Biomass co-firing leading to zero - or negative - CO2 emissions
CO2 transported c.a. 100 miles by pipeline to off-shore storage
CO2 to be permanently stored in a deep saline formation

11. UK CCS Build Out Potential
UK has tremendous storage potential in the Northern, Central and Southern North Sea as well as the East Irish Sea
According to ETI, the country has potential storage of 78 G tonnes, well in excess of required storage of 3 G tonnes for the UK industry by 2050
Transport networks to be planned for current and future CCS

14. CCS: Strategic importance
Security of supply
The UK needs a diverse energy mix (incl. coal) and flexible generation to support intermittent RE and baseload nuclear
Jobs and growth
Appx 3,300 jobs at WR at peak construction averaging 1,000 jobs pa.
Key role in decarbonising Energy Intensive Industries
Climate change
Fossil fuels still power over 80% world energy & expected to continue so CCS has a key role to play
Path to COP21 / 2015 agreement
Affordability
Expected to be cost competitive in 2020s
Without CCS climate targets £30-40bn more expensive per year
