2 This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy. A strategy that s cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs. President Barack Obama State of the Union Address January 24, 2012 Photo courtesy of the White House, Pete Souza

3 Then Now Pending carbon legislation No Pending carbon Low High cost CO High 2 capture cost High High cost No carbon Low cost legislation carbon natural $100/bbl $50 of CO - $60 2 legislation natural gas $100/bbl costs of natural COmust 2 gas gas prices capture from shale legislation per barrel from gas prices shale be capture driven to business case economics $50 - $60 per barrel CO 2 capture costs must be driven to business case economics CCUS is a business-driven di path to promote CO 2 capture and storage Strong incentive to pursue carbon capture and storage

9 Matrix of Market and Policy Scenarios EOR Revenues Needed for Coal to Compete? Fossil Energy s CCS Program can effectively proceed, bridging the mid-term, by Using CO 2 commercially (CCUS) t? n-based Cos n Emissions? Regulation for Carbon No Yes Yes 2 nd -Gen CCUS needs 20% COE reduction and ~$40/tonne CO 2 revenue No Transformational CCS needs 38% COE reduction and no CO 2 revenue The commercial opportunity for anthropogenic CO 2, used for EOR, is expanding rapidly, offering significant, ifi parallel l capacity for attaining i the President s Energy Security Goal CO 2 EOR revenues in the range of $32-46/tonne will enable 2 nd -Gen coal with CCUS to have COE parity with NGCC without CCUS. For all scenarios, 2 nd -Gen coal with CCUS has a lower COE than NGCC with CCUS at any given CO 2 EOR price. COE reductions are required to compete with other baseload options in the future electricity market (e.g., NGCC and nuclear). Percent reductions are relative to today s IGCC with CCS.

10 Supplement existing oil and gas next generation EOR projects Continue next generation EOR R&D and new geologic discovery Initiate CO 2 EOR class-based demonstration Investigate CO 2 conversion to other value-added products Accelerate path to 2 nd generation CO 2 capture technology CCUS commercialization post- 2020

12 RITE DOE s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Japan s Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) in May 2012 to test and jointly develop new carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sorbents. Have also partnered with 2 SECARB for microseismicity JCOAL NETL and Japan Coal Energy Center (JCOAL) are developing a CRADA to research oxy-fuel topics including chemical looping combustion and high-temperature materials corrosion issues.

13 CSLF Japan and the US and are members of the CSLF, an international initiative to develop affordable CCUS technologies. Japan and US jointly involved in three recognized projects: IEA GHG Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project, and the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships Project. I2CNER International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research is working with the DOE and other organizations and governments in an effort to: Characterize reservoir seal properties p and the condition of supercritical CO 2 and displaced brine through understanding the integrated geochemical/geomechanical processes that result from CO 2 injection Develop models with predictive capabilities of site integrity over extended periods of ftime. Provide the public with sound scientific data on CCS
