1. Added Value of a CCS Cluster for Yorkshire and Humber Stephen Brown Director of Carbon Capture and Storage Conference of the Regions Workshop Rotterdam 1st July 2010

3. Why Yorkshire and Humber? 60Mt of CO 2 emissions from single point sources Range of sectors – not just coal-fired power generation Located in a relatively small geographic area Adjacent coastline to southern North Sea gas fields Considerable industry interest Opportunity to gain a world lead for the region

5. Why Develop a Cluster ? Exploit existing industrial infrastructure –Fuel/material supply –Grid connection –Pipeline wayleaves –Offshore assets Enable rapid development and deployment Mitigate price/volume risk in CO 2 transport Intuitively cost effective and efficient Attract new investment But – requires oversized pipelines in early years

6. Cluster Opportunity Ferrybridge to Theddlethorpe picking up all large emitters CO 2 up to 125 bar but below critical temperature Tree structure more appropriate Phased development from 2011 to 2030 Opportunity to reuse some existing gas infrastructure Target two clusters of gas fields for storage CAPEX +£2bn; 55,000 construction jobs; £30bn GVA 8.6Gt CO 2 storage - beyond 2050 Regional network more cost effective for each emitter than individual ‘source to store’ projects

8. Initiating a Pipeline by 2015 - schematic routings Two integrated phases, £643m Two separate phases, £896m 11 years ‘no regrets’ of initial overcapacity

9. Additional Opportunities Shipping terminal for CO 2 import/export –Storage risk mitigation for NER300 projects –EOR Parallel hydrogen infrastructure Test bed for technology development –UGC –CO 2 mineralisation Attract and OEM?
