1 Challenges and Opportunities of CO 2 Capture & Storage in the Iron and Steel Industry Steel Institute VDEh Auditorium Dusseldorf, Germany 8-9 November 2011 Carbon Capture and Storage in Industrial Applications Nathalie Trudeau Sustainable Energy Technology and Policy International Energy Agency

2 Focus on five industrial sectors: 1. High-purity sources (gas processing, H 2 production, CtL, ethylene oxide and ammonia production) 2. Cement 3. Iron and steel 4. Biomass conversion 5. Refineries Jointly account for 75% of today s total industrial and fuel transformation CO 2 emissions

3 Challenge of CO 2 emissions from industry Gt CO Gt CO 2 Other industries 25% Iron and steel 31% Other industries 37% Iron and steel 19% Refineries 10% Cement 15% High-purity sources 7% Cement 27% Refineries 6% High-purity sources 23% Industry accounts for 25% of total global CO 2 emissions Under a baseline scenario, total industrial CO 2 emissions would grow by 120% in the next four decades Emissions from sectors covered in the roadmap would grow by 83%

4 ETP BLUE Map Scenario: a portfolio of technologies

5 Potential of CCS in industrial applications The IEA ETP BLUE Map scenario (2010) charts a costeffective pathway to cutting CO 2 emissions by 50% by 2050: Role of CCS in the five covered sectors can be very significant: CCS could cut emissions by 4 GtCO 2 in % of the global required emission reductions in 2050

6 Varied picture of CCS in industry today High-purity sectors Ongoing experience of operating large-scale projects in gas processing: In Salah, Sleipner, Snohvit, Rangely, Weyburn Gorgon LNG project under construction Biomass conversion Some ongoing pilot-scale experience in bio-ethanol sector (USA)

7 Varied picture of CCS in industry today (2) Iron and steel Pilot-scale project experience (SWE) Large demonstration in planning (FRA) Cement No project experience so far Refineries Pilot and demonstration scale projects in operation or in planning (NO, BR, CA, NL )

8 Deployment challenge (1) From 60 projects in 2020 to 1800 projects in 2050

9 Deployment challenge (2) Numbers of projects required per sector under BLUE Map scenario (2010) High purity Biomass conversion Cement Iron & steel Refineries TOTAL

10 Deployment challenge (3) Deployment must move rapidly to non-oecd countries

11 Costs (1) The sectors covered will show a wide range of cost of abatement, from under 30 to over 150 USD/tCO 2 High-purity Biomass conversion Cement Iron and steel Refinery Cost of abatement (USD/tCO 2 avoided)

12 Costs (2) Additional investment cost: USD 882 billion (2% of additional capital cost to reach BLUE Map goal) Total additional costs: USD 3 trillion (6,5% of total additional cost to reach BLUE Map goal) USD billion Additional investments * USD billion Total additional costs ** High-purity sectors Biomass conversion Cement Iron and steel Refineries 0 High-purity sectors Biomass conversion Cement Iron and steel Refineries

13 Recommendations & milestones: Technology actions by sector Recommendations for policy, finance and international collaboration

14 Technology: High-purity sectors Compile an inventory of high-purity sector CO 2 capture opportunities and estimate related costs Establish CO 2 transportation and storage demonstration projects involving hydrogen, ammonia and ethylene oxide production processes Realise 29 related production plants with CCS by 2020, and 87 by 2030

15 Technology: Biomass conversion Further quantify the total amount of biomass that could be produced in a sustainable manner Continue R&D on key enabling technologies, such as improved biomass gasification processes Realise six commercial-scale biomass conversion plants combining CO 2 compression, transport and storage by 2020, including an industrial-scale biomass gasification demonstration plant

16 Technology: Cement Conduct R&D for improving the economics and performance of capture techniques under flue gas conditions that are typical for the cement sector Investigate the potential economic savings of sharing process equipment or capture-related support infrastructure through the co-location of cement and power plants Demonstrate a full-scale post-combustion capture plant in the cement industry between 2015 and 2020

17 Technology: Iron and steel Stimulate further research into the most cost-effective and energy-efficient capture techniques to use for iron and steel production Equip 75% of the new iron and steel production through large scale blast furnaces and direct reduction iron units in OECD countries with CCS by 2030, and 50% in non-oecd member countries

18 Technology: Refineries Assess the potential for using waste heat from various refinery processes for reducing the energy penalty by CO 2 capture Implement CCS as soon as possible on hydrogen production facilities that emit high-purity CO 2 Develop an industrial scale oxyfuelled fluid catalytic converter demonstration project by 2020

19 Actions for policy Challenge: a varied picture, many sectors, no onesize-fits-all policy possible Need for national analysis of industry-ccs options AND policies Governments and industry should raise awareness of CCS as a mitigation option Governments to develop incentive policy mechanisms to suit maturity of technology from pilot/demo projects to fully commercial deployment

20 Actions for finance Include CCS in CDM Create international financial mechanisms for demonstrating CCS in developing countries Raise awareness of industrial CCS in financing community, incl. international development banks Start developing financing products suited for industrial CCS Consider aspects of CCS-readiness for industrial CCS projects

21 Actions for international collaboration Continue to investigate sector-specific approaches for trade-sensitive sectors Ratify London Protocol amendments to enable cross-border transport of CO 2 Develop capacity-building and education programmes for universities and schools Collect and register emissions data Disseminate best practice among industry, governments and stakeholders

22 Business opportunities for industry-ccs Industrial projects in conjunction with EOR - a market pull for CO 2 capture deployment Industrial agglomerations and clusters - several CO 2 sources to be matched with a suitable sink or reutilisation opportunity, reducing costs Innovation and CCS supply chain in a forward looking view CCS deployment results in positive spill-overs to all the CO 2 capture, transport and storage supply chain providers

23 Key messages CCS is not only about electric power: it can be a costeffective option to reduce emissions in industry CCS could reduce up to 4 GtCO 2 emissions from industrial sources by 2050, equaling 9% of total required reductions in 2050 Sectors will vary in speed and cost of deployment Total additional costs could amount to USD 3 trillion between Variety of incentive mechanisms needed for varying maturity of technology

24 The next ten years are crucial Improve data on emissions, technologies and costs Governments need to ensure adequate funding for CCS demonstration projects in industrial applications Governments and financiers need to ensure funding mechanisms are in place to support demonstration and deployment of CCS in developing countries Public research and development programmes are required to bring more information in the public domain Global assessments of CO 2 sources and potential reservoirs are needed
