4 DECC CO2 Storage Appraisal Project To prove that there is a secure storage resource beyond what had already been appraised To alleviate most of the storage and schedule risk in projects - to simplify commercial discussions To provide encouragement that CCS is on a declining cost curve for CCS towards 100/MWh To mature a portfolio of 5 stores with different development timescales and costs, servicing a broad geography and balancing risk through its diversity. DECC provided 2.5M for this project 4

6 Types of CO2 Store Aquifers (88% of resource potential) Sometimes extensively drilled: lots of data Bigger potential May have traps Legacy well risk Often lack dynamic data More challenging to permit Depleted Oil & Gas (12% of resource potential) Extensively drilled lots of data Trap proven effective for holding oil & gas Infrastructure re-use options Legacy well risk Competitive use Strategic UK CO2 Storage Appraisal Project

8 The UKCS is endowed with a rich and diverse national offshore CO2 storage resource, key components of which can be brought into service readiness without extensive appraisal programmes thanks to decades of petroleum Key Findings exploration and development activity 78GT UKCS potential 8.6GT All qualified sites 7.1GT Top 20 sites 1.6GT including this study 200MT UK FEED Studies 8

9 DECC CCS Innovation Program Muon Tomography a new monitoring tool for carbon storage Potential saving for UK CCS industry > 100 million per year Funding committed from UK CCS industry 0.95M Funding from DECC 700k (44% of project) Partnership UK industry, UK academia & NASA 9

10 Cosmic Ray Muons Charged, very penetrating particles created by cosmic radiation striking the atmosphere Loss through ionisation when travelling through matter Can be deflected when travelling through high atomic number materials Last ~ 2µsec Penetrate ~ 2km+ rock 10

11 Muon Experiments at Boulby The Boulby Science Lab is situated ~1.5km underground and is proving an invaluable testing ground The mine also has (now disused) tunnels running out under the North Sea 11

16 Caledonia Clean Energy Plant (CCEP) Project DECC working with The Scottish Government grant funded 4.2M to Summit Power to help progress their proposed CCS Caledonia Clean Energy Plant in Grangemouth Scotland; 18 month pre-feed R&D de-risking project Feasibility of building a new 570MW syngas CCS plant at Grangemouth in Scotland with more than 90% carbon capture The first carbon capture power plant designed to compress and deliver carbon dioxide at intermediate pressure (rather than high pressure) The funding will primarily be used to support engineering research activity through pre-feed R&D. This will help advance the project by supporting project design and preliminary design engineering Revised IGCC poly-generation configuration to produce ~150,000 tonnes of clean H2 for decarbonised heat and transport use, in addition to dispatchable clean electricity Industrial CCS opportunities in the industrial Grangemouth can add an additional 2 million tpa CO2 using the same T&S infrastructure Key UK regions, Grangemouth, Teesside and Humber are working together to optimise a cost effective phased CCUS and Hydrogen production strategy 16
