2. Why Look at California?
7th largest global economy
17-18th largest carbon emitter globally
In top 5 globally for carbon efficiency:
lowest carbon emissions per capita
highest economic output per ton of
emissions
Climate and CO2 emissions reductions
policies in place
Studies of energy future show clear
need for CCS to meet goals

7. CCS Must Adapt to Changes in Point
Sources
Today:
In-state: natural gas baseload
power, refineries and cement
plants
Imported power from coal plants
Tomorrow:
Divesture of all coal-fired
power contracts by 2030
Retirement of all natural gas
plants with once-through
cooling by 2020
More rapid response fossil
power, not baseload
Geographic shifts in
demand inland
Sea level rise impacts on
coastal infrastructure?

8. RPS means large fractions of intermittent energy
sources: fossil fuels must provide load balancing

9. Meeting 2050 goals requires CCS on electricity
to create net negative emissions

10. So what has happened?
Projects—
two cancelled, one remains
Policy—
Interest in reports
Attempts at legislation
R&D funding declining
Inclusion of CCS very limited
in 2020 planning documents
Hydrogen Energy California
(HECA)
10
11. What must happen?
Write CCS methodologies for
compliance
Eliminate short-term (2020) focus
Fully integrate CCS in future
energy policy and infrastructure
planning
Define regulatory agency roles
and jurisdictions
Include CCS in carbon reduction
technologies that qualify for
incentives, loading orders,
subsidies, etc. to ―force‖ a
business case
External
Advocacy
and
Technical
Input
11
12. Conclusions
California is a good test case for studying challenges
to CCS deployment
California needs expertise and advocacy NOW to
assure CCS for 2050
