The CSLF is an international Ministerial-level climate change initiative whose mission is to accelerate development, demonstration and commercial deployment of improved cost-effective technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). It also promotes awareness and champions legal, regulatory, financial, and institutional environments conducive to such technologies

The CSLF works via collaborative efforts that address key technical, economic, political and environmental obstacles

Technical Group (TG) Activities

CSLF Technology Roadmap (TRM) The 2017 version is under preparation, to be

launched at upcoming Ministerial meeting in December 2017

Prepare reports on topics of interest to members

Review and recommend projects nominated for CSLF recognition.

6

Technical Group Work Mode

• Based on voluntary contributions from members

• Technology Road Map: – Editorial committee with comments and input from CSLF

member delegations and also international experts

• Reports on selected topics – Prepared by voluntary Task Forces

• TRM and task force reports draws on existing work, including European ZEP, IEAGHG, GCCSI, IEA and international as well as national activities

CSLF Technology Roadmap 2017 Objective

Provide recommendations to Ministers of the CSLF countries on technology developments that are needed to accelerate the deployment of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) CCUS

Audience

Energy policy developers in general and the CSLF Ministers in particular

Target

Contribute to reaching the COP21 targets, e.g. by storing sufficient CO2 to meet IEA 2DS by 2025/2035

CSLF Technology Roadmap 2017 Findings and Recommendations

Finding Recommendations

CCUS works • Develop supportive policy incentives and support for CCS • Develop markets and business models • Accelerate legal and regulatory frameworks for CCs • Develop strategic transportation, storage infrastructures

and clusters and hubs, including early identification and characterisation of potential storage sites

• Improve CCUS public outreach and education • Facilitate exchange of data from operating large scale

projects • Support RD&D for novel and emerging technologies

along the whole CCUS chain • Map opportunities and resolve main barriers for the

implementation of the CO2 utilisation family of technologies including life-cycle assessments and CO2 and energy balances

Implementation of CCUS is well behind the trajectory to reach the stated goal from COP21 of being significantly below a 2°C temperature rise

CCUS is not possible without the right policy settings and the appropriate financial framework

CSLF Task Forces

Objectives:

Prepare reports on topics of general interest and to members in particular

Present status

Back-ups

Current Task Force Activities

Offshore CO2-EOR Lead: Norway The purpose of the Task Force is to highlight

Main differences between offshore and onshore CO2-EOR

Issues that are different between offshore CO2-EOR and pure offshore CO2 storage

New technical solutions that will benefit both pure offshore CO2 storage and offshore CO2-EOR.

Current Task Force Activities

Bioenergy with CCS Lead: United States Purpose : • Identify market drivers, barriers to large-scale BECCS

demonstration and deployment • Provide an overview of BECCS technology options and pathways: • Summarize resource assessments and emissions profiles,

including resource assessments; direct and indirect GHG emissions; life cycle assessments;

• Summarize economic analyses for BECCS concepts; • Identify gaps and future opportunities; • Make recommendations for overcoming barriers progress.

19

Current Task Force Activities

Improved Pore Space Utilization Leads: Australia and the United Kingdom A large portion of available pore space in a geological storage

site is bypassed. Improving pore space utilization may be beneficial in terms of

increased storage capacity, reduced monitoring costs, and increased ability for “hub” style storage operations.

This task force will investigate the various published options and review the effectiveness and readiness of these techniques to improve the pore space utilization.

The result will be a set of options for stakeholders to develop into their storage projects.CCS and technology gaps or challenges.

20

Current Task Force Activities

Industrial CCS Lead: France This task force will examine the potential for CCS for industrial applications, in particular from the perspective of use of 2nd and 3rd generation CO2 capture technologies. The task force will assess which of these have potential and any specific challenges. Note: Scope under development
