CCSA Webinar: The ‘U’ in CCUS: Accelerating CCU to achieve net-zero

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.

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 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.

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.
