- Collaboration of 250 subject matter experts across 18 partners, with input from licensors and equipment manufacturers and execution led by Wood
- 12 work packages across the CCUS chain from capture through to storage
- Freely available to download
- Webpage includes a signpost tool which directs users to specific sections of the guidelines, based on potential impurities present in chosen industries
About
Impurities in captured CO2 can adversely affect the cost and operability of a CCUS chain. Setting the CO2 specification for a CCUS project requires an understanding of the impact of impurities across the whole chain.
Wood led a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to collate current knowledge surrounding the impact of impurities in CO2 systems and has collaborated with industry and research experts, to produce industry guidelines for setting CO2 specifications for effective and economic CCUS chains.
The guidelines provide a freely available, holistic understanding of the impact of impurities across CO2 capture, transport and storage and identify the CO2 conditioning required to meet the safety, environmental and operational requirements of CCUS projects.
The guidelines are broken down into the following work packages:
- Thermodynamics
- Chemical Reactions
- Materials and Corrosion
- Safety and Environment
- Capture and Conditioning
- Compression and Pumping
- Metering and Sampling
- Pipeline Transport
- Ship Transport
- Geological Storage
- Economics
