CO2 – phase transition

� Starts with visible meniscus between liquid and gaseous CO2

As pressure rises

� As pressure rises meniscus gradually disappears as fluid transitions to dense phase

� Density

� Gas 1.98 kg/m3 (STP) – denser than air

� Liquid 955 kg/m3 (0°C, 70 bar)

� Solid 1562 kg/m3 (at freezing point)


Densities and volumes

� Volumes of CO2 contained in 1 km of 36” pipeline

� Pipeline volume = 192,000 cubic meters

� Gaseous = 0.4 – 10 tonnes of CO2

� Liquid = 184,000 tonnes of CO2

Depleted Gas

CO2 storage is limited – CO2 cycles as oil is

recovered – EOR is technically and

commercially challenging offshore

Best initial CO2 storage potential – can be

screened for high integrity – key sites come Depleted Gas

screened for high integrity – key sites come

available soon.

National Emissions (millions of tonnes of CO2)


Global emissions 1990-2009

� Most CO2 gets dumped to atmosphere for free

� Annual emissions from a power station

� Coal – 10-25 million tonnes

Common themes – Paying for CCS

Its not commercial (yet)

� Gas - 1-5million tonnes

� EU ETS is introducing a cost

� €15-€16 / tonne

� All electricity generation from 2013

� New sectors being added� Airlines / Industrial emissions

� 2000MW power station

� ~£560 million per annum revenues

� Coal-derived emissions

� £100-£300 million per annum at current EUA costs

Available to pay for CCS


Its not commercial (yet)

�Available to pay for CCS

�BUT £125 million p.a. lost revenue due to amine-related energy penalty

� General view

� Early projects need €100+ per tonne abated

� Long term €40 per tonne abated

� Government subsidies

� EU NER300 (€4-8 bn)

� UK DECC 1 (£1 bn)

� UK DECC 2-4 (£4+ bn)

Australian programme

� UK Electricity Market reform proposals

� Feed in Tariff /

Contract for Difference

Payment linked to


So how do you make any money?

� Australian programme

� Canadian programmes

� US programmes

� Payment linked to results (g/KWh CO2)

� Funded from general taxation

� BUT new Climate Change Levy structure

� Effectively a Carbon Floor Price

Common themes – urgency

Its getting warm around here

Every year of delay is 1ppm added to the atmosphere
