10 Investments Gap analysis main conclusions Capture and transport: Need for up-scaling promising solutions and testing at more severe experimental conditions (pressure, temperature, gas compositions,..) Storage: Need for a variety of test/pilot sites throughout Europe 10

11 Investments New Capture Facilities (Extract) Item Description Priority Category Budgeted investment cost in million 13 Mobile unit (container size) for testing of CO 2 capture from flue gases by absorption/desorption ( 1000 m 3 /h) High New Facility for testing (pilot scale, 1-10 m 2 ) of inorganic membranes and modules for oxy- and Pre-combustion applications Experimental facility (small pilot) suitable for CO 2 purification of gas mixtures originating from oxycombustion processes as well as CO 2 / H 2 separation, for pressures up to 110 bar and temperatures The test rig should be highly instrumented to monitor the operation of heat exchangers and non-equilibria operations, and be built to handle the HSE requirements of H 2. High New 3-4 High New Aerosol counter measure development facility: demonstration of suitable countermeasures for aerosol formation during post-combustion capture at different scales. Lab pilot: special demisters, wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP), impactor. Pilot scale (real flue gas): wet electrostatic precipitator. High New Experimental facility for adsorption techniques capturing CO 2 from flue gases at atmospheric pressure. The facility should preferably be located to an industrial site where a realistic gas mixture can be provided. A mobile unit serving various purposes is preferred. Facility for testing (pilot scale, 1-10 m 2 ) of inorganic high-temperature CO 2 /H 2 -separating membranes and modules (pre-combustion power plant and industrial type applications). This facility should allow testing of high-temperature H 2 S removal. Experimental facility for testing of CO 2 /H 2 -separation at pressures up to 110 bar with auxiliary refrigeration at temperatures down to at least -60ºC. Test rigs are further needed to be built to handle the HSE requirements of H 2. High Medium Medium To High New 2-3 New 5-7 Medium New Experimental facility to investigate heat transfer and pressure loss in heat exchanger channels for CO 2 mixtures. Medium New Experimental facility for efficient laboratory screening and characterisation of absorption solvents at higher pressures. (Low CO 2 partial pressure and higher total pressure equilibrium measurements and high-pressure kinetics.) Experimental facility for membrane technology capturing CO 2 from flue gases at atmospheric pressure. The facility should preferably be located to an industrial site where a realistic gas mixture can be provided. Medium New or upgrade existing 2-3 Medium New Experimental facility (pilot >3 MW thermal) for Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) for solid fuels. Medium New

12 Investments New Storage Facilities (Extract) Item Description Priority Category A pilot scale research facility for injection into a fracture to study migration and attenuation processes during migration through the overburden. Challenges could be site identification and permitting. Hontomin and Svalbard may be possible candidates. A large (i.e. metres-scale) true tri-axial cell to enable cap rocks. Such a cell will give us the realistic stress testing for reservoir and opportunity to investigate more realistic stress distributions. For example, we could run fracture propagation tests which are not possible in existing equipment due to boundary effects. Well scale testing facility at well (with realistic diameter) for evaluating in-situ a range of in-situ potentially damaging processes specific to CCS wells (temperature changes, pressure changes, low ph conditions...). This implies: cement-rock bonding, casing-cement bonding, casing boundaries, remediation technologies, borehole monitoring. Engineering facility to develop new low-cost, advanced, drilling techniques for site characterisation and monitoring. Svelvik may be a potential candidate Facility to simulate leakage for developing models and integrated monitoring technologies for offshore storage. No storage site needed. High New or upgrade existing Budgeted investment cost in million 3-8 Medium New 2-3 Medium New 3-5 Medium New 2-4 High New
