1 CCS RESEARCH & INNOVATION DRIVERS, INITIATIVES & RESULTS Dr. Nils A. Røkke, Executive Vice President Sustainability SINTEF GCCSI European Forum 13 October 2016, Oslo, Norway

2 SINTEF is Scandinavia's largest independent research organization 2000 Employees 70 Nationalities 3800 Customers NOK 3,2 billion Revenues EUR 400 million NOK 500 MILL International sales EUR 60 million

3 Trondheim- major CCS R&D hub Annual R&D turnover in CCS: 20 million Centres of Excellence in CCS: BIGCCS, NORDICCS and NCCS (from nov. 2016) Hosts of ECCSEL (European CCS Labs) 3 major players in CCS in Trondheim: NTNU (Largest University in Norway) SINTEF STATOIL R&D Centre

6 Change of focus - industry - emissions we must address by CCS Lipponen- TCCS-7

7 New demands from the energy and climate system Flexibility dynamic behaviour BioCCS- carbon negative 7 New Business models including CCUS?

8 Total Nordic CO 2 storage capacity mapped until Mt? Mt Aq Mt HC Barents Sea 6100 Mt Aq Total Nordic CO2 storage capacity Mt in saline aquifers and hydrocarbon fields Mt in aquifers Mt in hydrocarbon fields North Sea Mt Aq Norwegian Sea Mt Aq 3400 Mt Aq Mt? Mt Aq 2000 Mt HC* The storage capacities estimates are related to uncertainties and it requires further research to get better assessments. The storage capacity numbers changes, whenever new data are generated and better methods developed. *Result from EU GeoCapacity

9 9 New initiatives

10 Starts 4 Nov year CoE- budget about 5 million/year Partnership with public funding, industry and R&D providers (50/25/25 %)

11 Pan European World Class Research Infrastructure for CCS 9 European countries 20+ labs (all elements) Open access to promote excellence Pilot phase started 2015 Fully operational 2016/17 as an ERIC Investment ~ 200 Million, 50 Million already invested 11

13 The declared topical interest from countries to MI How about building Global Centres of Excellence in CCS- joining forces and leveraging national contributions 13

14 Results and Deployment Some key projects What we have learnt R&I as a continuous process 14

15 GATEWAY IMPACTS Caprock properties CEMCAP Well Integrity SINTERCAP ECCSEL HyMemCOPI CAMPS Caprock properties BIGCLC BIGCLC CO2Mix COMPLETE CEPONG DeFACTO SOLVit OxyGT BIGH2 CO 2 fieldlab CO 2 storage models CCS chain methodology Pipeline fracture tool CO 2 dissolution model Industrial CO 2 cap tech Precipitating systems Chemical looping combustion Calcium looping HT membranes 15

16 CEMCAP New tech's for capturing CO2 in cement plants Entrained flow CaL (post-comb) 16

17 SOLVit- work Solvents for the next generation of post combustion CO 2 capture systems The Solvit-project ( )

18 Demonstration of H 2 production technology A membrane skid was constructed and installed at the Statoil methanol synthesis plant in Tjeldbergodden Capacity to handle 2.7 ton per day (200 Nm 3 /hour) syngas 100 Nm 3 /hour H 2 The test period is planned for a one-year period until September m 2 active membrane area 450 C and 50 bar

19 Context: H2 and CCS 19 The low carbon economy needs hydrogen for: Industrial decarbonisation Heating and cooling Transport (Marine, Rail, heavy trucks and cars) The low carbon economy needs CCS to: Decarbonise industry Provide a credible carbon negative solution Provide the speed needed in the energy and climate transformation Combining hydrogen with CCS offers an exiting opportunity for synergies and value creation Common use of infrastructure and the same offering to the end-user Flexible hydrogen production offering balancing value to the grid Value creation and sustainability from domestic assets on a long term scale

20 Summary Change of drivers for CCS R&I focus on industrial emissions, carbon negative, CCUS, flexibility and new buisness models CCS R&I is regaining momentum past COP21- no solution without CCS and BioCCS R&I has delivered new findings that is climbing up the TRL ladder- better solutions in terms of energy, emissions and operability Mission Innovation is a global initiative for R&I in CCS- we should team up to make a global effort through amalgation of global centres of excellence in the field and don't forget the beauty of CCS and H2 working together it's a game changer
