3. Introducing the Global CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute accelerates carbon capture
and storage, a vital technology to tackle climate
change and provide energy security.
We advocate for CCS as a crucial component in a portfolio of
technologies required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We drive the adoption of CCS as quickly and cost effectively
as possible by sharing expertise, building capacity and
providing advice and support to overcome challenges.
Our diverse international Membership comprises
governments, global corporations, small companies,
research bodies and non-government organisations
committed to CCS as an integral part of a low–carbon future.

31. CCUS Dependency & Challenges
• Growth
in
producFon
from
CO2-‐EOR
is
limited
by
the
availability
of
reliable,
affordable
CO2.
• If
increased
volumes
of
CO2
do
not
result
from
CCUS,
then
these
benefits
from
CO2-‐EOR
will
not
be
realized.
• Therefore,
not
only
does
CCUS
need
CO2-‐EOR
to
ensure
viability
of
CCUS,
but
CO2-‐EOR
needs
CCUS
to
ensure
adequate
CO2
to
facilitate
CO2-‐EOR
growth.
• This
will
become
even
more
apparent
as
potenFal
even
more
new
targets
for
CO2-‐EOR
become
recognized
&
internaFonal
desire
for
CO2-‐EOR
grows.

45. Post Combustion Capture
Challenges
Most technologies need significant scaling to be relevant to power
generation
Loss of power around 30%
Needs cleaning of flue gases (SOx and NOx)
Integration may reduce flexibility of power plant
Increase in water around 35%
Significant space requirements could be a challenge at well established
sites
Amine emissions
46. Pre-Combustion Capture
Challenges:
Energy penalty still significant at around 20%
Commercial scale hydrogen turbine still to be demonstrated
Additional purification may be required in the event of venting
Gasification plants are unfamiliar to the power sector
47. Oxy-Combustion (Oxyfuel)
Challenges:
Requires an integrated plant
Development will require a whole of plant approach
Air separation unit requires around 25% of electricity produced
Start up using air may require additional gas treating equipment
Increased water consumption
48. Large Scale Capture
LSIP = Large Scale Integrated Project

53. Challenges for large-scale carbon capture
• Demonstrating capture at larger scale in more industries
• Reducing costs, including through the development of new
technologies
• More effective knowledge sharing
• Integration of capture into large-scale power and industrial
applications
• Flexible operation of power stations with CCS
55. Solvent Based Process
• Absorption based process
• Dissolve CO2 into solvent, i.e. aqueous amine
• Solvent regeneration by heating
56. Sorbent Based Process
• Physi or Chemi sorption based process
• Packed or Fluidized Beds
• Lower pressure or increase temperature to regenerate
57. Membrane Based Process
• Typically thin dense layer on porous substrate
• Permeation of CO2 through dense layer due to solution / diffusion
through membrane
• N2 and other components rejected (retentate) and emitted up the
stack

59. Final observations
• Carbon capture is an established commercial
process in natural gas and chemical production.
• Carbon capture is being demonstrated in power
generation.
• Primary challenges for capture are related to
process economics – parasitic power and capital
costs
• There are many options for capture approaches and
processes – there is no “holy grail”
• Continued R&D in capture is vital to reduce overall
costs of CCS / CCUS

New CO2 pipelines - - the 320

226 mile Encore Pipeline - are expanding CO2-EOR to
new oil fields and basins.
The single largest constraint
to increased use of CO2-EOR
is the lack of available,
affordable CO2 supplies.

81. Future Plans
Citronelle UIC Permit Requirement:
“… the permittee shall demonstrate to the Department,
using monitoring and modeling data and other
information that the CO2 is safely confined within the
injection zone and that USDWs are not endangered by
the CO2 plume.”
Citronelle Monitoring Question:
What active or passive tests can we perform during site
closure that will help demonstrate to regulators that the
CO2 is trapped (or the plume is slowing) and no longer
an endangerment to USDWs?

Long-term Liability and Stewardship
New Source Performance Standards
Standards and Regulations (Steve Carpenter, ARI)
106. Key Principles of CCS Regulatory Regime
•
•
•
•
•
Comprehensiveness
Safety and environmental integrity
Public outreach and consultation
Socio-economic policies
Streamline regulation and coordination among regulatory
agencies
• Flexibility to address site-specific conditions
• Efficient use of resources and protection of property rights
Geologic storage integrity and environmental and public
safety are essential
107. Regulations must be comprehensive flexible
Pore space access and
use
Comprehensive and
flexible
108. Public outreach and consultation is key
• Know your audience –
social site characterization
to design outreach for local
conditions
• Have a two-way
conversation – address
needs and concerns of
target audience and
developer
• Effective engagement with
consistent messages is
essential and can make or
break a project
109. U.S. Storage Site Permitting
Jurisdiction
• U.S. EPA, Office of Water
Underground Injection Control
(UIC) Program
• Administered by Regional EPA
office (federal) unless state
applies for primacy
Types of Permits (CO2 Injection
Wells)
• Class VI: Geologic Sequestration
• Class II: Oil Gas / Enhanced
Oil Recovery
• Class V: Other / Experimental
111. §144.19 Transitioning from Class II to VI
The Director will determine when there is an increased risk to
USDWs. The Director will consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increase in reservoir pressure within the injection zone(s)
Increase in carbon dioxide injection rates
Decrease in reservoir production rates
Distance between the injection zone(s) and USDWs
Suitability of the Class II area of review delineation
Quality of abandoned well plugs within the area of review
The owner’s or operator’s plan for recovery of carbon
dioxide at the cessation of injection
• The source and properties of injected carbon dioxide
• Any additional site specific factors as determined by the
Director

• Well Construction
• Financial Responsibility
• Public Participation Considerations
for GS Wells Facts
http://water.epa.gov/type/groundwater/uic/class6/gsguidedoc.cfm
113. Storage projects with RD exemptions
SECARB - Class V sought for the following reasons:
• Short duration of injection (3 years) and modest CO2 volumes
• Characterization and modeling of “stacked” CO2 storage
• CO2 injection under “real world” operating conditions
• Demonstration of experimental monitoring tools and methods
115. GHG Accounting Reporting
Subpart RR - Geologic
Sequestration
• All Class VI wells or wells that inject
CO2 for long-term containment
• CO2 source, mass of CO2 transferred
•
onsite and mass injected
Fugitive, vented, leaked emissions;
annual cumulative CO2 mass stored
Subpart UU – Other, CO2 EOR
• CO2 source, mass transferred onsite
and mass injected
Subpart PP - CO2 Suppliers
• CO2 captured, extracted, exported

117. MRV Plan (Required for RR)
• Identify active and maximum
•
•
•
•
•
monitoring areas
Identify potential CO2 surface
leakage pathways
Surface CO2 leak detection and
quantification strategy
Strategy for baseline
measurements (pre-injection)
Site-specific variables for mass

monitoring
Revise plan based on site
performance as necessary

MRV Plan
118. Integrating RR and Class VI
• No threshold for reporting – Class VI “all in” for RR
• RR and Class VI are not fully integrated; however, they
complement each other
• The purpose of RR is to document CO2 storage
permanence through MRV; Class VI ensure protection of
USDWs
• The MRV plan may describe relevant elements of the UIC
permit (e.g. leakage pathway assessment) and how those
elements satisfy RR
• All facilities that conduct GS (RR) are required to submit
annual reports (narrative of monitoring effort) to EPA
• To date, no facilities have reported under RR
119. Long-term Liability
• No federal authority to establish funding or accept
responsibility; new legislation would be required
• Proposed bills have not passed (H. 2454 / S. 1733) –
establish task force to provide recommendations to
Congress on financial mechanisms for long-term liability
120. Long-term Liability
• Six states have addressed long-term liability; approaches to
financing long-term stewardship varies
• No funding mechanism (WA, UT, OK, WV)
• Stewardship fund; state assumes limited long-term liabilities
(KS, LA, TX, WY)
• Stewardship fund; state assumes all L-T liabilities (ND, MT)
CCSReg Project
121. GHG Limits for New Power Plants - NSPS
• Authority under Section 111 of Federal Clean Air Act
• Re-proposed CO2-NSPS (September 20, 2013) –under
60 day comment period
• New coal or petcoke “Electric Utility Steam Generation
Units” (EGUs) and IGCCs limited to 1,000 lbs of CO2/
MWh (gross) on 12 month rolling average
• Compliance is stack-based emissions (CO2 storage not
part of the calculation) and EPA’s proposal does not
involve downstream regulation
• EGU operators must send captured CO2 to storage site
that complies with Subpart RR
http://www2.epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards/2013-proposed-carbon-pollution-standard-new-power-plants
122. NSPS - primary technology issues
“The term ‘standard of performance’ means a standard for emissions of air
pollutants which reflects the degree of emission limitation achievable
through the application of the best system of emission reduction which
(taking into account the cost of achieving such reduction and any nonair
quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the
Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated.”
• BSER for coal is “partial CCS” – cites Kemper IGCC, Boundary
Dam, TCEP and HECA
• Bases BSER on: feasibility, costs, size of emission reduction,
“promoting further development of technology” (p. 172-174)
• Storage viability based on general geology knowledge and NETL
field tests (p. 221-224)
• Locations remote from EOR or existing pipelines are “not
expected to have new coal-fired builds without CCS in any
event…” (p. 253)
123. Standards and Regulations
• Standards can be used to support / simplify the process
of technical regulations development and application
• World’s first formally recognized CCS standard –Z-742-12
Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide
• International Standards Organization – 31000, 17024,
14064, 14065
International Performance Assessment Centre for
Geologic Storage of CO2 – Seed document
Canadian Standards Association - ISO Secretariat,
standards developer
Bi-national agreement between USA Canada
S. Carpenter, ARI
124. Why is Z-741-12 important?
• Additional(ity) – in addition to business as usual
• Measurable – MVA, MMV, MRV
• Independently Audited – 3rd party, no OCI
• Unambiguously Owned – based clearly on
domestic and international law, no double
counting
• Address/Account for leakage – outside of the project
boundary – MVA, MMV, MRV
• Permanent – non-reversible
S. Carpenter, ARI
125. ISO TC 265 – CCS
Standardization of design, construction, operation, and
environmental planning and management, risk
management, quantification, monitoring and verification,
and related activities in the field of carbon dioxide capture,
transportation, and geological storage (CCS).
S. Carpenter, ARI
126. ISO TC 265 – CCS
• June 2012: TC-265 Organized in Paris, France
• February 2013: 2nd Plenary Meeting in Madrid, Spain
• Sept 23-25, 2013: 3rd Plenary Meeting Beijing, China
• April 2014: 4th Plenary Meeting, Berlin, Germany
• 5th Plenary Meeting TBD (hopefully, USA)
• 36 months to deliver draft standard
• 24 months to debate, ballot, and resolve issues
• US TAG is always looking for a few good experts!
