CCSA & Clarksons Webinar: Updated Costs for CO2 Ship Transport Report

Posted on: September 2nd, 2024 by ccsaEditor

The CCSA and Clarksons recently held a webinar discussing the joint Updated Costs for CO₂ Ship Transport.

With shipping transportation an essential component of the future CO₂ transport system and an integral enabler for the deployment of many dispersed and cross-border CCS projects, it is essential to explore the potential cost and opportunities of this developing market.

The primary purpose of the CCSA/Clarksons report is to provide guidance on the likely cost of transportation of liquefied CO₂ by ship, given current price conditions (at time of publishing), and to build on CCSA’s previous publication ‘Achieving a European market for CO₂ transport by ship’ on the crucial role of shipping for CCUS in Europe.

The report provides a useful benchmark on the expected costs of multiple aspects of the shipping value chain and supports an increase of knowledge throughout the CCUS sector with its publication. The report provides helpful insights into the different parameters which can affect the cost of CO₂ transportation by ship and demonstrates that shipping CO₂ is a viable option for multiple clusters and routes across Europe, including but not limited to, those included in the study.

The report can be downloaded here.

CCSA Net Zero Week Webinar: “Accelerating a Europe-wide market for CO2”

Posted on: June 27th, 2024 by ccsaEditor

Europe needs an integrated approach to connect the entire CO2 value chain through pipelines and ships, enabling the delivery of captured CO2 to different storage sites Europe-wide. CO2 cross-border transport is essential in lowering costs and offering timely solutions to industry access to storage sites across the EU, EEA and third-party countries such as the UK. Join this panel discussion to engage with industry experts assessing the benefits of integrating a CO2 Europe-wide market.

The webinar took place on Tuesday 9th July, 14:00 – 15:00 BST.

The webinar recording can be viewed here, and the slides can be downloaded below.

Panel:

Chair, Ayan Bhattacharji, Business Development Manager, Interconnector

James McAreavey, Global Head of CCUS & Energy Developments Manager, Xodus

Pierre Girard, Director of New Energy, Eni

Marie-Laure Halleman, EU Business Development Manager – Low Carbon Solutions, ExxonMobil

CCS4G Symposium 2024 – Super-Critical Implementation

Posted on: June 24th, 2024 by ccsaEditor

CCS4G Symposium 2024 – Super-Critical Implementation

A symposium on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for Geoscientists

The CCS Surge: Are You Ready to Be Part of the Solution?

With the global race to net zero accelerating, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is rapidly transitioning from the drawing boards to project delivery. In 2023 alone, dozens of new CCS geological storage licenses were issued worldwide. Today across the globe a record number of projects are on the runway for FID (financial investment decision). This rapid growth presents a significant opportunity for geoscientists in our community to re-purpose their skills and expertise to apply them in what is the biggest issue of our generation.

In many ways the CCS world with its wells, reservoirs and sealing cap-rocks will be familiar to GESGB members. However, in other ways it is quite different. The twin necessities of driving down costs and ensuring long-term public safety will demand collaboration and openness like never before.

Following the success of previous years and in response to demand from the membership, the third one-day symposium from the GESGB will delve into the exciting geo-technical challenges and opportunities of geological CO2 storage, helping to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in this rapidly evolving field.

Don’t miss this chance to be at the forefront of the CCS revolution and take your next step towards a sustainable future.

British Institute of Energy Economics Policy Conference 2024

Posted on: June 24th, 2024 by ccsaEditor

BIEE Policy Conference 2024

Delivering the energy transition: pace over perfection

It is time to scale up delivery and bring down uncertainty in the GB energy transition.

For large parts of the challenge, such as renewable generation and networks, the basic route map for the transition is now clear. A vast scale-up is required, the sooner the better. We will have more strategic planning, but we still need markets to deliver at the desired speed, scale and cost.

In other areas, uncertainty reigns. It is not clear how we will successfully decarbonise domestic heat, the role of the consumer is hazy, the long-term future of the gas grid is undefined, and potential routes to catalysing investment are at the mercy of political winds.

Policymakers have to deploy the tools to drive the transition at a time when political bandwidth is spread thin, with enormous geopolitical tensions and elections looming at home and abroad. But energy is still big news. The investment opportunities are huge and cannot be separated from the wider macroeconomic decisions facing the country.

Once again, the BIEE’s biennial policy conference is a key opportunity for expert debate and discussion, with its unique ability to bring together experts in policymaking and delivery, academia and business. This year we will ask how GB can firm up the next steps in its energy transition in both delivery and policymaking, navigating both the gaps in current understanding and the political hurricane.

Key themes include:

• First-hand experience from policymakers and delivery bodies. How do we balance strategic plans and the power of markets?
• The links between the energy transition and the economy at large. Is the UK too late to the international race?
• Whole system design, market reforms and future system operation. How to incentivise the right things, in the right places, at the right times?
• Bringing in the consumer. Can households and the energy transition help each other?
• Crowding in finance and scaling up investment. What role for public investment and how to avoid delay?

CCS Strategy Europe: Building partnerships for net-zero success

Posted on: May 14th, 2024 by ccsaEditor

In Europe, carbon capture and storage has emerged as a critical component of the region’s strategy to combat climate change and achieve ambitious emissions reduction goals. With a commitment to transitioning towards a low-carbon economy, European countries are actively exploring and implementing CCS technologies to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes and power generation.

This conference will shine a light on the projects in various stages of development, from early concept through to FID, and offer insight into the key elements to consider when building a well-rounded and effective business strategy to develop CCS. Europe has almost 200 CCUS projects in the pipeline, yet only 25 of these are operational, showing us the vast opportunity for development of this sector as well as hinting at the challenges and barriers at hand.

CCS Strategy Europe, brought to you by Carbon Economist and Gulf Energy Information, will explore how to overcome the barriers to successful development of CCS projects to make a meaningful contribution to the continent’s net-zero goal through understanding and developing a viable business strategy.

Featuring a number of projects and their partners including Peak Cluster, The Poseidon Project and more, the conference will explore the intricacies of CCS project development. CCS Strategy Europe will bring together the emitters with the project developers and technology specialists to discuss how and why a long-term business strategy for carbon capture is required for the decarbonisation of industry.
