Don’t miss out on the “Financing CCS Projects-Options & Challenges” session that will put a spotlight on funding options, risk managements and the importance of partnerships in executing a large-scale carbon capture & sequestration project.
The use of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) represents the first generation of carbon sequestration technology, where existing oil and gas infrastructure was utilized to provide a solution to reducing CO2 in the environment, as well as increasing output from oil and gas wells.
EOR is a very viable method of CCS, and is currently being adopted by some of the largest project developers including Shell, BP, Statoil and Enviro Energy International Holdings Ltd.
BP, which has been effectively using EOR since the 1970s, in considered the pioneer in the field. At CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization, you will hear perspectives from BP alternative energy on the company’s EOR experience in Algeria.
You will also hear from Shell on their upcoming EOR projects in Norway’s offshore oil and gas fields, and from Enviro Energy International Holdings Ltd, which is currently lending their expertise to China to assist the country in developing CO2 sequestration capabilities for ECBM/EOR projects.
Will the CCS qualify for CDM and the emissions trading?
UN negotiators have not yet been able to agree and approve on whether, or how, carbon capture and storage projects should be allowed under the CDM.
However there is keen interest in the technology, which is receiving endorsement and support from governments and intergovernmental organizations.
It will be a matter of time before the Carbon Capture & Storage is eligible for CDM and CERs.

The European commission today proposed earmarking €1.25bn to kickstart carbon capture and storage (CCS) at 11 coal-fired plants across Europe, including four in Britain.
The four British power stations – the controversial Kingsnorth plant in Kent, Longannet in Fife, Tilbury in Essex and Hatfield in Yorkshire – would share €250m under the two-year scheme.
CCS involves capturing CO2 at power stations and burying it in disused oil/gas fields or other undersea rock formations. It is seen by Gordon Brown and other EU leaders as vital to ensure Europe's energy security, while reducing emissions, in the wake of the recent Russian-Ukraine gas crisis and the emergence of "peak oil". Europe will get most of its gas from Russia by 2050 on current trends.
The €1.25bn for CCS is part of an EC proposal to use €5bn of unspent money in the EU budget on immediate investment in energy and rural development, including broadband infrastructure this year and next.
The overall package is designed to help reboot the EU economy in the deepening recession and EC officials hope it will be adopted at the bloc's March summit. Jose Manuel Barroso, EC president, called it "smart" investment – "a short-term stimulus targeted on long-term goals".
Stuart Haszeldine, a CCS expert at the University of Edinburgh, said: "This is totally exceptional and unique, a major move on the part of Europe. It shows they're extremely serious about developing CCS and it's what the developers have been pressing for."
USD & CANADA :- EPRI to study carbon capture at coal power plants
Five electric utilities in the United States and Canada will host studies of post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture systems at existing coal-fired power plants, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) said on Tuesday.
As global demand for electricity increases and regulators worldwide look to reduce CO2 emissions, post-combustion capture for new and existing coal units could be an important option, EPRI said in a release.
EPRI is already working on post-combustion carbon capture systems using chilled ammonia designed by French engineering firm Alstom SA at stations owned by Wisconsin Energy Corp in Wisconsin and American Electric Power Co Inc in West Virginia and Oklahoma. Coal generates about half of the electricity used in the United States and is now much cheaper than other fossil fuels like natural gas. At the current production rate, the United States has enough coal to last more than 150 years.
But a coal plant produces about twice as much CO2 as a natural gas-fired plant, and CO2 is a greenhouse gas associated with global warming. A 1,000 MW coal plant produces about six million tons of CO2 per year.
Retrofitting existing plants presents "significant challenges," EPRI noted, including limited space for new equipment, limited heat and water needed to run the system and potential steam turbine modifications.
EPRI expects to conduct the studies in 2009.

"Securing energy supplies and speeding up the transition to a low-carbon energy system both call for radical action by governments -- at national and local levels, and through participation in co-ordinated international mechanisms."
"The energy sector will have to play the central role in curbing emissions - through major improvements in efficiency and rapid switching to renewables and other low-carbon technologies, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS)."
IEA's World Energy Outlook 2008
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has recorded, to date, more than 30 carbon capture and storage demonstration projects to take place across the globe, with concentration in USA, Norway and etc. These developments prove that CCS is here to stay!
Whilst industrial-scale storage can take off almost immediately with existing technology,uncertainties remains in cost effectiveness of technologies as well as financing and regulatory framework. It is time for both the government and energy sectors to take action!
With conference set in Beijing, it is inevitable that China and the rest of Asia pace up with mitigation measures for climate change. Several EOR projects currently in China are using CO2 as feedstock. In Japan, petrochemicals companies such as Mitsui Chemicals has announced their plans to build a CO2 to Methanol production plant. Other industries also include cement producer Holcim, investing in sequestration of CO2 by algae farming, which claim to produce a tonne of algae biomass from two tones of CO2 emission.
CMT's CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilisation 2009 presents expert panel to discuss issues in the CO2 utilization, CCS value chain, and commercializing industrial scale CCS. It aims to provide indepth focus of CCS and unfold opportunities in Asia and the world, possibly accelerating more CCS projects.
Attend CMT's CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilisation 2009 to:
- Hear from majors and national oil companies about their perspective and contribution towards CCS commercials section
- Grasp in-depth understanding of CCS value chain - concept, economics and role of stakeholders
- Zoom in with details on Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project in Algeria, China and Norway
- Assess the economics between cost of CCS project with CO2 price
- Understand how the emission trading mechanism can incentivise CCS project or utilization of CO2
- Meet key technologies providers as they discuss on the development of cost effective carbon capture technologies
- Be updated on the clean coal technology implementation in China and Post Combustion Capture (PCC) technology installed in Australia and China's coal fired power plants

In an exclusive interview with Bloomberg’s Angela Macdonald-Smith, IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka called on governments, companies and investors to step up efforts on projects that capture CO2 to have a chance of meeting emissions targets.
In Energy hungry Asia, where countries like China and India are looking at coal as a key resource for power generation and conversion into liquid fuels and chemicals, there is an even stronger need to develop Carbon Capture & Sequestration capabilities, especially where gross CO2 emissions are especially high.
That’s where forums like CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization step in. To be held on 5-6March 2009 in Beijing, the timely conference will map the latest developments in CO2 Capture for emissions reduction.
CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization will focus on carbon capture, separation and sequestration technologies which are being or could be deployed around the world.
Most critically, the conference will facilitate the necessary dialogue between technology developers/purveyors, the industry and government representatives on the development and deployment of viable technologies in Asia-Pacific.
Some of the issues and technologies discussed at CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization:
CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization will feature exchange of experiences and knowledge among the scientific & engineering communities, as well as investors and government officials.
If your company is still not getting enough attention for work on greenhouse gas reduction technologies and want to broaden your recognition in the marketplace, then make sure you are a part of the CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization.

China’s potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS), an essential technology to achieve low global emissions, will be examined next week at a conference of senior scientific experts from China and the EU. It will be hosted by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in Nottingham on February 10-12 2009.
The conference will highlight how British science is supporting China in developing their capabilities to bury CO2 from power stations in rock formations deep below the surface.Source: www.carbonoffsetsdaily.com
Back in Asia, the Centre for Management Technology (CMT) is organizing our inaugural CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization 2009 in Beijing on 5-6 Mar 2009.
Amongst the speakers is Dr. Zhang Jiutian from China's Administrative Centre for China's Agenda 21 (ACCA21) who will discuss CCS outlook in China and the joint UK-China collaboration on the Near Zero Emissions Coal (NZEC) CCS Project.
06 Feb, 2009
China has sufficient CO2 storage sites and capacities sufficient for its own and potentially other countries (e.g. Japan, Korea) deposits, and considers CO2 deposition for EOR purposes favourably. According to the China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), a preliminary assessment includes:
o 46 oil & gas reservoirs totalling 7.2 billion ton CO2
o 68 unmineable coal beds with methane recovery totalling 12 billion ton CO2
o 24 saline aquifers totalling 1,435 billion ton CO2
The general view is that China is positive to CCS as a feasible technology to reduce CO2 emissions from e.g. coal power plants, but concerned about the high development and implementation costs, and also in plant efficiency. There are also concerns about storage reliability and regulation issues. These are concerned shared by most countries, and the Chinese government seem to welcome international collaboration and investment/financial support in domestic CCS projects. –Source International CCS Technology Survey, July 2008
