SUPPORTED BY:
Importance of
CCS
acknowledged
CCS identified as an essential
technology in limiting
temperature increase to 2°C
International Energy Agency
Wide adoption of CCS part of the scenario that achieves
450 ppm atmospheric stabilization level for CO2
World Energy Council
Availability of CCS is critical for
producing 450 ppm
Energy Modeling Forum
27 Study
CCS is an important
technology in the long
run…deployment to drive
down costs is desirable
UK Committee on Climate
Change
Commercial demonstration of CCS essential
for deployment in the 2030 timeframe
European Commission
CCS to be cost effective when transformational
technologies emerge

3. CSLF STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF CCS AND OF COLLABORATION
‘We…are convinced that the research and
development, demonstration and global
deployment of {CCS} must be accelerated…
We are committed to taking necessary
actions internationally and collaboratively to
promote the further development and
deployment of CCS.’
‘We believe that the increasing number of
{such} collaborations reflects the growing
global recognition of the criticality of CCS…’

4. LARGE-SCALE CCS PROJECTS BY PROJECT LIFECYCLE AND YEAR
22 projects in operation or under construction – 8 more than in 2011

5. CO2 CAPTURE CAPACITY BY ACTUAL OR EXPECTED YEAR OF OPERATION
CCS is a reality with 40 Mtpa of CO2 that can be captured by active projects
SUPPORTED BY:

6. Large-scale CCS projects in key markets by project lifecycle
North America continues to dominate the projects landscape; China
increasing in importance; project progress has stalled in Europe

7. LARGE-SCALE CCS PROJECTS PROCEEDING TO ‘OPERATE’ AND
‘EXECUTE’ SINCE 2011
Majority of projects in operation, construction or close to FID use or intend to use CO2 for EOR

9. TECHNOLOGY
ASSESSMENT
 Individual components are well understood.
 Many aspects are already technically mature.
 Safe storage demonstrated by projects for over a decade.
 Pilot and larger scale test facilities are important contributors to knowledge.
 Confidence that the remaining technical challenges can be met over time.
OPPORTUNITIES
 Integrated operation at large scale in power and industrial processes is key:
o initial CCS demonstrations in power plants – starting in 2014 in Americas
o positive perception of CCS as a ‘proven’ technology, building public confidence through
large-scale projects in new applications
o learning by doing cost savings
o more early mover projects will confirm effectiveness, establish best practices.
 R&D (collaboration) to advance technologies is a ‘game changer’.
 The ‘rocks’ are also important – identification of viable storage sites.

10. POLICY AND MARKETS
ASSESSMENT
 International policy discussions consistently acknowledge importance of CCS but…
 Industry highlights that national climate and energy policies do not provide long term clarity to
support widespread adoption of CCS projects.
 CCS is often not treated equivalently to other low carbon technologies.
 National regulations have advanced but critical uncertainties remain:
o in the US, for example, impact of recent EPA proposals
o more broadly, addressing long-term liability issues
 Existing CCS funding programs for large-scale projects mostly exhausted.
OPPORTUNITIES
 Re-invigorated policy incentives ( and regulation) to maintain momentum.
 Continued development of low-carbon future roadmaps for CCS.
 Post Kyoto 2020 agreement for decision in 2015.
 Capacity development scope is significant – all can learn from what has worked, building
capacity in developing countries is critical for longer-term deployment.
SUPPORTED BY:

11. UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE
ASSESSMENT
 Stakeholder relationship management accepted as critical to project delivery.
 Global awareness and understanding of CCS context is low.
 Focus of CCS communication is on risks and challenges not value and benefits.
 Perception of CCS as experimental, not cost competitive and associated with fossil fuel
instead of role in low-carbon energy.
 Building a trusting relationship with key stakeholders is critical for projects.
OPPORTUNITIES
 Successful global large-scale integrated projects is critical to establish public and political
confidence in CCS.
 CCS projects are demonstrating improved sharing and use of best practice.
 Encourage public advocacy of CCS from trusted groups – academics and NGOs.
 Improve access to education materials and experts.
