2 Climate Change is a Fact!

3 The Solution Renewable Energy

4 Options for CO 2 Emission Reduction Source: IPCC Carbon Capture and Storage

5 CO 2 Capture and Storage Cleaned gas EOR Flue gas CO 2 CO 2 CO 2 capture CO 2 transport (Pipeline or Ship) Aquifer CO 2 source: Power plant (coal, NG, biomass) Industry H 2 production Oil field CO 2 storage

6 Global Stationary Sources of CO 2 by Number and Total Emissions 2006 Number of Facilities Emissions (Mt CO 2 lyr) Source: IPCC, 2005

7 Europe Today CCS infrastructure

8 Challenges - I Technological challenges Developing cheaper and more effective concepts Bringing technology from small scale to large scale industrial CCS projects Gain experience Filling R&D gaps Establish demonstration projects in parallel with R&D actions Small CO 2 capture plant in Malaysia

9 Challenges - II Political challenges are bigger than technical challenges Regulatory framework Long-term and transparent regulatory framework are required for a wide deployment of CCS Establishing Early Mover Fund Clarify State Aid Guidelines Global price on CO 2 post Kyoto Individuals must force politicians to prioritize climate change mitigation

10 New Possibilities CCS and Bio Energy CCS combined with bio energy Bio energy is CO 2 neutral Large potential for heat production from bio mass Power plants fired with biomass Biomass can be used for production of methane or hydrogen CO 2 capture and storage from biomass will give net reduction of CO 2 in the atmosphere Source: Alholmen Bio Power Plant

11 CCS combined with: CCS New possibilities Fossil power production Biomass Fuel Cells Petrochemical plants, cement production, and iron production Gasification of coal Production of H 2 Deep coal reservoirs that are unmineable today Sources with too high CO 2 content for fiscal sale

12 Hydrogen No CO 2 Emissions Source: Mazda RX-8 Source:

13 CCS and Hydrogen production

14 Globally CO 2 Capture Potential Assumptions Wide CCS implementation from 2015 and onwards CO 2 emissions in 2050 reduced by 80 % of CO 2 from Power Production captured in in % compared to 50 % of CO 2 from the Transport Sector emissions today captured in in % of CO 2 from Industry captured in in 2050 CCS in Non-OECD countries will reach ¾¾of of the capture level in in OECD countries

15 Potential for CO 2 Capture in the EU CO 2 emissions in 2050 reduced by 56 % Compared to emissions today

16 Business opportunities The CO 2 capture potential equals: 150 Coal Power Plants (750 MW) with CO 2 capture in EU by Coal Power Plants (750 MW) with CO 2 capture globally by 2050 Enormous business opportunities for CO 2 capture technology innovators

17 How to Reduce Global CO 2 Emissions

18 Stabilizing the climate requires global CO 2 emissions cut by percent by 2050 This can only be achieved by combining: Energy efficiency Renewable energy CCS Summary There are no other alternatives with the potential for sufficient cut in CO 2 emissions CCS can be combined with power plants, industry, bio mass and hydrogen production The Stern report: Mitigating actions are cheaper than no actions

21 CCS Infrastructure Gas for houshold and industry Gas Biomass Coal Solarpanelplant Oil Natural gas +CO 2 capture Electricity generation/ Bio/coal/gas Industry CO 2 geological storage Mineral Carbonation +CO 2 capture Future H 2 use Industrial uses Kilde: CO2CRC and IPCC CO 2 geological storage Ship og pipline transport of CO 2 for storage Kilde: CO2CRC and IPCC

22 Recommendations The Flagship Program: Urgently implementing integrated, large-scale CCS demonstration projects Europe-wide Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants R&D Develop new concepts already identified for demonstration by and support long-term exploratory R&D Cooperation Maximising cooperation at national, European and international level CO 2 value chain Kick-start the CO 2 value chain with urgent short- and long-term commercial incentives Regulatory framework Establishing a regulatory framework for the geological storage of CO 2 Public communication Comprehensive public information campaign

23 Coal and CO 2 capture Why coal combined with CCS: High CO2 content in flue gas from coal power plants Coal gasification for H2 production CO2 injection in deep mines to produce metane Co-firing with % biomass Bio/Coal power plant

24 The first light bulb was not cheap, and the first mobile phone was not small Reducing the cost 2004: 60 Euro 150 g 1987: Euro 7000 g

25 CCS New possibilities CCS combined with Fuel Cells High temperature fuel cells based on hydrogen or methane is the most effective power production (75 % efficiency). Low temperature fuel cells for onshore transport. More than twice the efficiency of traditional engines Fuel cells based on biomass, stranded gas and gas from coal

26 CO 2 capture and H 2 production H 2 can be produced from steam reforming of low pressure gas: Stranded gas Gasification of coal Injection of CO 2 to produce low pressure gas from deep coal mines Biogas CO 2 from H 2 production can be captured and stored
