The CCS Vision International Energy Agency BLUE Map CCS accounting for 19% of the 2050 CO2 emissions reduction goal Failure to deploy CCS would increase cost of 2050 power sector decarbonization by 70% Alstom in the U.S. - P 5 Alstom 2011
The CCS Vision Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum 2009 Secretary Chu endorsed rapid CCS deployment: 100 plants by 2020 3,400 plants by 2050 U.S. Dept. of Energy goal: 5-10 large CCS projects by 2016 Pathway to further driving down the cost of CCS Alstom in the U.S. - P 6 Alstom 2011
The CCS Reality Government support for 25 CCS projects worldwide Some major demonstrations postponed indefinitely due to uncertain policy environment & lack of funding Technology hit bump in the road to commercialization Government support has detached from timetable set for CCS deployment Impossible to achieve 2020 targets at current pace Alstom in the U.S. - P 7 Alstom 2011

CCS Landscape: Europe Policy Legal directive, deployment ongoing European Union CCS Directive (2011) Legal basis for CO2 capture, transport & storage Weak provisions on CCS readiness Storage liabilities transferred to the state 12 of 27 member states have implemented to-date Germany - struggling with CCS law Prospects are not good No European feed-in tariff for CCS UK implementing one, others considering Only the U.K. and the Netherlands have committed public funding for CCS Alstom in the U.S. - P 15 Alstom 2011

How We Got Off the Path It s the economics stupid It s not the technology CCS works Capture rates as high as 90% CO2 purity about 99% Energy penalty <20%, on the way to 15% 20% 19% 18% CCS PLANT ENERGY PENALTY % AGAINST MWe net REF PLANT CCS OXY CCS PCC 17% 16% 15% Alstom in the U.S. - P 21 Alstom 2011 14% 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035
How We Got Off the Path It s not the cost CCS already is cost-competitive In-depth Alstom cost analysis shows that: Coal & Gas with CCS Electricity cost lower than solar, geothermal, offshore wind Competitive with nuclear, large hydro & onshore wind Competitive/cheaper than renewables even without counting for system costs Alstom in the U.S. - P 22 Alstom 2011
CCS Cost Study Key Assumptions Study based on New Plant in Europe Add-on costs for energy penalty and increase cost of electricity generation rises Considers cost of electricity generated with CCS & cost of CO2 avoided Two capture technologies: post-combustion and oxy-combustion using two fuels: hard coal and gas Coal and gas (combined cycle) plants with CCS operating as base-load CO2 capture rate of 90% Conservative learning curves up to 2030; based on Rubin/CMU curves Alstom in the U.S. - P 23 Alstom 2011

CCS Cost Study - U.S. Implications NETL analysis shows some similarities to Alstom findings Alstom findings shared with key U.S. Stakeholders Customers, Congress, DOE, EPRI Alstom planning U.S. and Asia studies - Fall 2011 Alstom in the U.S. - P 25 Alstom 2011
CCS Cost Comparison / MWh CoE - Low Carbon Technologies Ordered in 2011-2016 Period 400 300 200 Reference case 100 65 84 0 Nuclear Hydro Geothermal CCGT CCS 2015 Onshore Wind PC Hardcoal CCS 2015 Offshore Wind Solar PV Solar Thermal Source : Alstom analysis 2011. CCS 2015 costs, including on shore T&S and CO 2 price (Flue Gas Recirculation case for CCS Gas CC, average Amine/Oxy for CCS Hardcoal) With realistic assumptions and variation range, CCS on Coal & Gas Combined Cycle is competitive as of 2015 Alstom in the U.S. - P 26 Alstom 2011
CCS Cost Study Overall Results CCS on gas or coal is cost competitive with wind before cost reductions from learning effects With same FIT given to wind, CCS will be commercially viable in 2015 Learning effects will increase CCS competitiveness against more mature renewables A target of CO2 avoided cost in the range of 30-35/t is realistic by 2030 for coal CoE uplift in 2030 will be 45% for coal & 30% for gas CCS on gas is thus commercially viable and cheaper than CCS on coal Carbon price of 43 in 2025 means coal w/ccs will be commercially viable without FIT Gas, at a price of 54 in 2026 The main determinant of CoE remains the fuel price, especially for gas Alstom in the U.S. - P 27 Alstom 2011

Getting Back on Track Address the Challenges to CCS Deployment CCS Deplo oyment Increase Financial Support Address Permitting & Regulation Validate Storage Sites Educate the Public Build Rate Recovery Framework Establish carbon price, policy or regulatory framework Equal stance for CCS and other lowcarbon options Subsidize sequestration Sell credits into existing carbon market Uniform sector or regional wire charge EOR royalties or other funding diversions Alstom in the U.S. - P 29 Alstom 2011
Getting Back on Track Funding Establish funding mechanism for large-scale demonstration Market Re-engage discussions on policy framework for regulation and financial support Technology Return to critical path for CCS evolution, drive down cost curve to meet customer needs CCS Deployment & Progress Towards Climate Goals Alstom in the U.S. - P 30 Alstom 2011
