12 Gasification Saipem gasification plants have reached 94% of availability First year of operation availability enhanced to 74% First year performance to be increased implementing feedback and lesson learnt to get 90% of availability during the first year Such results can be extended to coal gasification

13 Gasification + CCS Next step: gasification + CCS Many countries (EU, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan) has introduced CO 2 emission limit and/or capture & sequestration economic bonus CCS application will develop following stringent trend of emission reduction regime Gasification is the natural technology for CCS concept application since pure (and dried) CO 2 can be easily separated All major components of CCS technically proven and referenced (shift & AGR unit, CO 2 compression and liquefation, transportation & storage) Storage and pipeline are the key factor for CCS economics

17 Gasification + CCS European policy European enviromental policy based on Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) ETS applied to european industrial and energy installations (nationals quotes decided by centralized authority) Allowances are allocated to industrial operators (CAP) New stringent policy for to be set on december 2009 (deviation foreseen) Operators within ETS limit can trade the allowance CAP will decrease starting 2012 increasing the price of carbon trade

20 CCS Perspective CCS applied to gasification is sustainable due to european (and other countries) carbon emission policy CO2 emissions price forecast stable in future at high level due to limitation in GHG emission Capex difference between NGCC and IGCC reduced d with CCS implementation ti High impact of transportation and storage on CCS economics o cs Availability of onshore, exhausted wells close to the plant will drop the capex of CCS

21 CCS: Saipem Experience Saipem built experience on the whole chain of CCS supporting ENI in the preparation of the CO2 injection in Cortemaggiore: scheduled start in Saipem services included: o Modeling / simulation of the diffusion of injected CO2 in the reservoir using an in-house software (TMGAS). o Modeling / simulation of CO2 interaction with the caprock and the wellbore cement using software validated on experimental results. o Coordination of caprock integrity studies to evaluate the risk of leakage. o Design /installment of a sub-surface surface tool for continuous monitoring of CO2 o Design of the surface facilities for storage/injection of CO2

22 CCS: Saipem Experience evolution of the CO2 plume in the reservoir in 2 years Start of CO2 injection on 2010: o Three years of CO2 injection o Two years of monitoring

23 Conclusion Lack of gasification plant availability was a significant hindrance for the gasification application in the power industry. Saipem has reached over 90% of availability on 3 IGCC plants in Italy for a total of 1.4 GWe installed Same results can be achieved in coal gasification: 90% of availability starting from first year of operation is a reachable target The next step of gasification is represented by the CCS implementation to permit the respect of new GHG emission policy of many countries The application of CCS would increase the cost of gasification products (power and hydrogen) to be recovered trading the CO2 allowance developed due to new environmental policy

24 Conclusion In European Community the forecast is to have CO2 emission price covering the investment for CCS unit starting 2013 Transportation ti and storage represent an opportunity to reduce the capex and increase the economics of such technology Saipem has a complete and wide experience acting as a complete EPC contractor from gasification to CO2 storage passing through capture and transportation.
