CSLF Technical Group, Abu Dhabi4 December 2017

What We Are:

Part of the IEA ETN since 1991

33 Members from 15 countries plus OPEC, EU and CIAB

Greenhouse Gas R&D TCP

Independent Technical Organisation• We don’t define policy • We are not advocates

Members set strategic direction and technical programme

IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEAGHG)

• A collaborative international research programme founded in 1991

• Aim: To provide information on the role that technology can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from use of fossil fuels.

• Focus is on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS)

• Producing information that is:Objective, trustworthy, independentPolicy relevant but NOT policy prescriptiveReviewed by external Expert Reviewers

IEAGHG • Flagship activities:

• Technical Studies >320 reports published on all aspects of CCS

• International Research Networks

• GHGT conferences –• GHGT-13, Lausanne, Switzerland, 13-18 Nov 2016• GHGT-14, Melbourne, Australia, 22-26 Oct 2018 • PCCC conferences – PCCC4, Sep 2017, Birmingham, Alabama

• Risk Assessment/Management• Monitoring • Modelling• Environmental Research• Social Research• Oxy-combustion • Post-combustion Capture • Solid Looping

IEAGHGOther activities include:

• International CCS Summer Schools: 550 alumni, 50 countries• 2017 – July, International CCS Knowledge• Centre, Regina, Canada; • 2018 – tbc, Trondheim, SINTEF • call for student applications open soon

• Peer reviews, eg US DOE, US EPA; CO2CRC• Active in international regulatory developments – UNFCCC,

London Convention, ISO TC265• Collaborations with IEA, CSLF, CCSA, EU ZEP and others

Update on CSLF and IEAGHG Collaboration

Arrangement between CSLF Technical Group and IEAGHG

• How CSLF TG/PIRT and IEAGHG will interact for mutual benefit through increased co-operation• Mutual representation of each at CSLF TG and IEAGHG

ExCo (no voting)• Liaison with PIRT co-chairs to discuss potential activities or

projects – two way process• Activities would require approval by ExCo or TG• Due reference to organisation providing the resource

• Agreed by IEAGHG ExCo Oct 2007 and CSLF Technical Group Jan 2008

IEAGHG Technical reports to CSLF Technical Group

CCS Side Events at COP20, COP21, COP-22, COP-23

Input to WPFF

ISO Technical Committee on CCS, TC-2654 draft standards, 2 technical reports –IEAGHG input

UNFCCCParis Agreement (COP-21, 2015)• Threshold for coming into force when 55 Parties ratified with 55% of

global emissions - this was reached on 5 October 2016, and the Paris Agreement came into force on 4 November 2016 - a year ahead of anticipated schedule.

• As of 14 Oct 2017, 168 Parties have ratified out of 197. USA indicated it intends to leave.

• Work underway to develop and agree the details by 2018 COP-24 so as PA can come into force in 2020

• ‘Technology Framework’ to be developed. Technology neutral at the moment.

• Main funding bodies: Green Climate Fund ($100bn pa from 2020) and CTCN

UNFCCC Paris AgreementNDCs• 187 Nationally Determined Contributions submitted ahead of COP-21 -

only 10 included CCS as a mitigation activity, although these countries covered a signification proportion of the world’s emissions.

• Should be noted that these NDCs were short-term focussed in being 5 years duration and only to 2025 or 2030.

Low GHG emission development strategies• Longer-term, the Paris Agreement invited Parties to communicate ‘long

term low GHG emission development strategies’ to the mid-century. • As of Oct 2017, six countries have submitted these - five of which

contain CCS as a mitigation activity, particularly for industrial emissions (USA, Canada, Germany, Mexico, and France).

COP-23 • Bonn 6-17 November. Formal host Fiji - focus on oceans• Aim was to make progress on the implementation details of the Paris Agreement

ready for operation in 2020. Adoption of an implementation ‘rulebook’ due to be completed at COP-24 (2018 Katowice).

• Emphasis on pre-2020 actions & funds included in COP-23 Decision• A ‘facilitated dialogue’ or “Talanoa” proposed to undertake a stocktake of pledges

and progress at COP-24 • Technology aspects (Article 10 of the PA). Appears to be technology neutral,

encouragement of collaborative R,D&D, links to funding mechanisms. A draft ‘technology framework’ may be presented at SBSTA-48 in April 2018.

• Several side-events on moving away from coal. 19 countries in ‘Powering Past [unabated] Coal’ .

• Unofficial American pavilion “We Are Still In” - Senators, Mayors, business leaders eg Microsoft, Mars and Walmart.

• And one official Side-event with US Administration involvement, focussed on CCTs, CCS, LNG and nuclear – interesting…..

• Authors selected• Expert reviews: August-September 2017; January-February 2018• Final cut-off for peer-reviewed publications as input is 1 November 2017• To agree and publish SR1.5 in September 2018• https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sr15/

IEAGHG input:• Tim Dixon and Jasmin Kemper applied and accepted as expert reviewers• List of IEAGHG peer-reviewed reports and relevant peer-reviewed reports

made available to key authors• Study on CCS in Climate Scenarios planned to be a contribution

IPCC 1.5 Special Report and AR6

IPCC SR 1.5Chapters1. Framing and Context2. Mitigation pathways compatible with 1.5C in context of sustainable

development3. Impacts of 1.5C on natural and human systems4. Strengthening and implementing the global response 5. Sustainable development

• First Order Draft reviewed and feedback submitted for 24 Sep deadline

London Convention/Protocol• Treaty for marine environmental protection• 39th LC and 12th LP meeting at IMO London, 9-13 October 2017. • IMO asked IEAGHG provide a more formal ‘information paper’ of the usual

updates from IEAGHG. Updated on offshore CCS, including from 2nd

Offshore CCS workshop, from EU STEMM-CCS project and UK ETI AUV project.

Ratification of the London Protocol’s CO2 export amendment• The 2009 CO2 for CCS export amendment adopted in 2009 - but two thirds

of the now 49 Parties to the London Protocol need to ratify for it to come into force (ie 33).

• News that Iran and Finland had ratified. Previously, Norway, UK and Netherlands had ratified, but no other countries in recent years. So progress, but slow.

• IEAGHG and Norway gave updates. Norway needs the export amendment.
