CCSA/ZEP webinar: Charting the course for CCS: Launch of the CO2 transport by ship report

The Zero Emissions Platform and the CCSA are launching the “CO₂ transport by ship” report. Join us for insightful presentations and discussions about the role of CO₂ transport by ship, exploring opportunities and perspectives to accelerate the deployment of the CCS value chain.

The webinar recording can be accessed here.

Synopsis

The European Commission aims for the EU to capture and store 50 million tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2030 through its Net Zero Industry Act. Meeting this objective necessitates the rapid deployment of the entire CO₂ infrastructure value chain, including the transportation of CO₂.

Transport of CO₂ by ship plays a vital role in the CO₂ infrastructure, which will enable emitters across Europe to connect to safe and permanent storage. CO₂ transport by ship also contributes to equitable access for all countries and becomes particularly valuable when other transport options (pipeline, rail, truck) are not viable. Maritime transport is essential to connect dispersed industries to CO₂ storage sites.

While the significance of shipping in large-scale CCS deployment is gaining recognition at both the EU and national level, there is an urgent need to define the future scope of CO₂ transport by ship in the European market. This requires investigating the number of vessels potentially required, the location of strategic ports, and the volumes expected to be transported annually.
The CCSA and ZEP have joined forces to identify barriers and enablers and provide recommendations to European policymakers to support the development of this market. The report findings and recommendations will be presented during the webinar to assist companies, regulators, and decision-makers in navigating the emerging CO₂ transport market.

Who?

This event gathers industry leaders, experts in CO₂ transport by ship, policymakers and CCS project promoters. Together, they will deep dive into the nascent CCS market and the crucial role of shipping in deploying the CCS value-chain.

We’re delighted to announce our next webinar, in association with Net Zero Week 2023:

“The Pathway for CCUS to 2030 and Beyond”. taking place on Tuesday 4th July 14.00 – 15.00.

If you are interested in joining this webinar, please register here. You will then receive an email with the joining link.

This webinar provides an opportunity to hear from a number of CCUS cluster proposals around the UK, as well as an overview of the recent NSTA CO₂ storage licensing round and next steps for CCUS to 2030 and beyond.

We will be joined by a number of speakers, including:

• Jo Bagguley, Principle Geologist, North Sea Transition Authority

• Paul Davies, Director, 7CO₂ Cluster

• John Egan, Project Director, Peak Cluster

• Martin Currie, Director, Bacton Thames Net Zero cluster

• Michael Foley, Low Carbon Solutions Executive, ExxonMobil, and T&S Lead, The Solent Cluster

• Jack Richards, Asset Manager, Energy Transition, Morecambe Net Zero (MNZ) Cluster

Please find the webinar recording here, and the presentation slides below.

What does the commercial framework look like for Industrial Carbon Capture? Meet some of the LCCC CCUS and Hydrogen team as we take a deep dive into the Industrial Carbon Capture business model. The webinar will focus on the main contractual provisions that uses the stability of the successful existing CfD scheme as its template and will explore the similarities such as conditions precedents, protections and milestone requirements, with a little extra detail on nuanced provisions covering payment mechanics, reporting and T&S Network availability.

A recording of the session can be viewed here, and the slides are available below.

The direction is clear with ambitious 2030 targets and climate-neutrality by 2050. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon removal technologies are needed for Europe to reach these targets, enabling industrial decarbonisation, contributing to economic growth, sustaining current jobs and creating new ones. In recent months we have seen many positive announcements for cooperation on cross-border CO₂ infrastructure, the basis for CCS in Europe and vital to achieve the climate objectives.

The webinar will take place on Zoom. If you are interested in joining this webinar, register here.

In this webinar, we will tackle questions such as:

• How can we accelerate the development of European CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure?
• What are the barriers to overcome considering existing international frameworks such as the London Protocol?
• How to solidify and further develop international collaboration around the North Sea area, where most of the European CO₂ storage potential is located?

With the following experts:

• Daniel Kitscha, Policy Officer, DG CLIMA, European Commission
• Jasmin Sharzad, Special Advisor, Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities
• Joep Sweyen, Public Affairs Manager CCUS,  EBN / Aramis Project
• Rune Thorsen, CCS Project Leader, Equinor
• Lina Strandvåg Nagell, Senior Manager Projects & EU Policy, Bellona

The event will be moderated by Per-Olof Granström, Secretary General, Zero Emissions Platform and EU Director at CCSA.

Note: This webinar is organised jointly with the Zero Emissions Platform.

This webinar will take place on Thursday 9th March, 14.00 – 15.30 GMT.

On the 30th November, the CCSA hosted a members-only webinar on “Updates from Rotterdam and the Porthos project”.

A recording of the session can be viewed here and the slides are available below.

The webinar featured the following speakers:

• Ian Brass, Air Products (Chair)
• Nico de Meester, Porthos
• Huibert van Rossum, Port of Rotterdam

On the 21st October, CCSA held a briefing webinar for members with BEIS on the recently opened IETF Phase 2: Autumn 2022 competition.

A recording of the session can be viewed here and the slides are available below.

We are pleased to announce we will be hosting a briefing webinar for members with BEIS on the recently opened IEFT Phase 2: Summer 2022 competition on Monday 27^th June 2-3pm.

This will allow members to hear in detail about the IEFT phase 2 competition window, how stakeholders can apply for funding, as well as ask any questions to BEIS during a Q&A session at the end.
