2. Where do we stand on CCS?
• EU committed to up to 12 CCS demonstration
projects by 2015; a necessity for commercial
deployment after 2020
• 2 European funding instruments and the project
network were introduced
• Projects face delays
• How to revitalise the European demonstration
programme?
• Which role can the CCS project network play?

3. Energy Roadmap 2050
basis for developing a long-term policy framework
European Council Aim of the roadmap
. EU objective for 2050 –
GHG emissions down to . Give more certainty to
governments and investors
.
80-95% below 1990 levels
Looks forward to elaboration
of a low-carbon 2050
. Explore routes towards a low-
carbon energy system by 2050
which improve competitiveness
strategy – a framework for and security of supply
longer-term action in energy
and related sectors . Basis for developing the 2030
policy framework and concrete
milestones with MS, EP and
stakeholders

8. 6 Conditions for successful CCS
• 1) Legislative Framework
• 2) Successful Demonstration
• 3) Commercial Viability
• 4) Public Acceptance
• 5) Infrastructure
• 6) Innovation

9. 1) Legislative Framework
• Legislation
• Storage is enabled by the CCS Directive
(2009/31/EC)
• Transposition in MS
• Deadline June 2011
• Most MS hosting demonstration projects
transposed by spring 2012
• Challenges
• Does legislation enable CCS in MS?

10. 2) CCS demonstration programme
EEPR Projects

Don Valley, 250MW
UK
900 MW
Rotterdam,NL Jänschwalde, DE
250MW 300MW
Compostilla, ES
323MW Porto Tolle, IT
250MW

11. 3) Commercial Viability
• Investments in CCS demonstration will only take
place if a business model for commercial roll out
exists
• CCS can be commercially viable after 2020 at a
carbon price of €40-45 per ton of CO2
• If the carbon price stays below that price
additional support is needed not only for
demonstration projects but also for subsequent
deployment

12. 4) Public Acceptance
• Experience from projects:
regional differences and
little resistance against
offshore storage
• Cross border transport
and offshore storage

13. 5) CO2 Infrastructure
• Energy
Infrastructure
legislative
proposal adopted
in Oct 2011
• Support regional
co-operation –
regional clusters
expected to kick-
start the network

14. 6) Innovation
CCS European Industrial Initiative
• Strategic objective
• To demonstrate the commercial viability of CCS
technologies for subsequent deployment
• Technology objectives
• Prove the technical and economic feasibility of CCS
using existing technology
• Develop more efficient and cost competitive CCS
technologies
• Actions
• Realisation of a large scale demonstration
programme
• Establishment of an R&D programme on efficiency,
capture, transport, and storage
• CCS project network and international knowledge
sharing

15. CCS Project Network /
Knowledge Sharing
• What is the CCS Project Network?
• Why establish a knowledge sharing platform?
• How does the Network operate?

16. What is the CCS project network?

17. Why is knowledge sharing relevant?

18. How does the network operate?

19. Conclusions
• Fossil Fuels will remain in the Energy Mix
• CCS is needed for decarbonising the energy and
other industrial sectors
• CCS is at a crossroads
• In the absence of a strong carbon price, additional
support mechanisms for demonstration and
deployment need to be set up
• Global Knowledge Sharing of increasing
importance
