Storing carbon: options for liability risk management, financial responsibility
The authors of this article say the technical complexity, economic impacts, social demand, and political challenges underpinning the deployment of carbon capture and storage technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired electric power generation are daunting, but not unprecedented. In response to these challenges, the authors recommend the creation of a new “federal government ...

The commercial deployment of carbon capture and storage technology
One of the most significant impediments to a carbon dioxide capture and storage industry is not technical but legal-managing liabilities associated with the long-term geologic storage of carbon dioxide in reservoirs, particularly deep saline. There is no dedicated regulatory regime in place at either the federal or state level for capture and ...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and economic investment opportunities in the UK
This article reviews the role played by carbon and capture (CCS) technologies in order to facilitate the transition to low-carbon emitting technologies in the medium-term. More precisely, we address the following central questions: how will the development of CCS technologies impact energy policies in order to yield to sustainable energy solutions? At what costs will pollution reductions be ...

Carbon capture is a mirage for poor nations
The world is witnessing a coal renaissance. While public attention remains focused on the progress of the clean energy sector, a ‘black revolution’ of coal power stations is taking shape in the developing world, in particular in Asia, according to Ottmar Edenhofer, the chief economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. At the Our Common Future under ...

Experience curves for power plant emission control technologies
This paper examines past experience in controlling emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from coal-fired electric power plants. In particular, we focus on US and worldwide experience with two major environmental control technologies: flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems for SO2 control and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for NOx control. We quantitatively ...

Carbon Capture and Products Recovery (CCPR) technology
Introduction Imagine using one of the two global environmental issues to solve another at the same time. Curing the Greenhouse Gas problem; by literally pulling carbon out of the air, and reducing river and freshwater pollution; by using industry wastewater as a resource. The technology is here. A well established chemical process in a self sustaining closed loop process is proving viable ...

Carbon Capture & Storage: CO2 Capture
F7.1 | DOE and NETL’s Carbon Capture R&D Program Timothy Fout | Project Manager, US DOE/ NETL With pending legislation or EPA action on greenhouse gas emissions, there is a concerted effort underway to find ways to meet possible future limits in a cost effective manner. The DOE, through its Existing Plants Program, is targeting existing pulverized coal (PC) power plants since ...

National implementation of carbon capture and storage: The case of Germany
As Germany is – and will remain for the immediate future – dependent on coal for generating power and ensuring energy supply, the German Government and various representatives from the private sector are currently assessing and promoting so called “Clean Coal” technologies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Scientific research and industrial pilot projects for capturing and storing carbon ...

Crediting co2 sequestration – An alternative approach to integrating CCS into the EU ETS
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies are currently discussed as a promising measure by stakeholders in the power industry sector, who see it as an opportunity to both continue using fossil fuels and to comply with the challenges of climate protection by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Initial demonstration projects have already been launched.1 According to the European Commission, it ...

DOE increases funding for clean and renewable energy in 2016 budget request
On February 2, 2015, the White House released the 2016 fiscal year budget request for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Under this proposed plan, DOE would receive $29.9 billion, an increase of $2.6 billion from the 2015 fiscal year. The increase in funding for DOE would focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean power technology with some of the additional money coming from DOE's ...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage: Priorities for development
Oil, coal and natural gas will remain the world’s dominant sources of energy over the next decades, resulting in unsustainable levels of carbon dioxide emissions. This trend can be reversed only via a near revolution in the way we produce, transform and consume energy. Concerted global action is urgently needed to increase investment in energy technology solutions. Carbon dioxide capture and ...

Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere
Abstract The capture and storage of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels is gaining attraction as a means to deal with climate change. CO2 emissions from biomass conversion processes can also be captured. If that is done, biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage (BECS) would become a technology that removes CO2 from the atmosphere and at the same time deliver CO2-neutral energy ...

How Will Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Contribute to the Global Temperature Goal of 1.5°C?
Let’s begin: what Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage is and how it works Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) consist of a series of technologies to capture carbon (usually as CO2) emitted by various processes, to then either be used or stored in an underground reservoir. Carbon capture can be achieved as part of an industrial process, such as hydrogen, ammonia or ethanol ...

Planet Before Profit
The question of Profit before Planet is not tenable anymore. It is too selfish to think of Wealth at the cost of Planet. Unfortunately, it is still not sinking in our mind @ speed at which it should except Greta Thunberg (Sweden), Adelaide Charlier (Belgium), Luisa Neubauer (Germany), Xyie Bastida (Mexico), Prof Johan Rockstrom, most influential Earth Scientist (Sweden) and David Attenborough ...

Carbon Trust awards AEA three-year contract
AEA Energy & Environment has been awarded a £1 million contract to provide support over three years to The Carbon Trust’s Applied Research Programme. The Applied Research Programme supports UK businesses and research institutions in the development and commercialisation of technology with the potential to reduce UK carbon dioxide emissions. Starting in April 2007, this contract follows a similar ...

Heat recovery solves carbon capture issues
Flue gas heat recovery at the fired heater overcomes major drawbacks to the successful operation of an amine based carbon capture plant The refining sector is facing a major transformation in the next three decades. Driven by more stringent regulation towards CO2 abatement and increasing pressure from consumers and investors, refiners are exploring options to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. ...

UK and Norway unite to set the North Sea as a leading energy hub
The two governments agree to encourage renewable energy, CCS, oil and gas. The UK and Norway yesterday agreed to increase the levels of co-operation between the two countries as they attempt to re-establish the North Sea as one of the world's leading energy hubs. The two governments recognize the "growing potential for North Sea marine renewable energy projects to bring new investment and green ...

Carbon dioxide capture: an assessment of plausible ranges
The projections of energy related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) serve as point of departure for an assessment of plausible ranges of CO2 emissions that could be avoided through CO2 capture and storage measures. Scenario and time dependent, sector and fuel specific capture factors are ...

Testimony before the subcommittee on energy and power: the transformation of China`s energy system
In my testimony today, I will start by discussing both where China is now and its plans for the upcoming five years, and then I will talk about some of the business opportunities this creates for other countries, including the United States, that want to compete in new energy technologies. Energy, environment and climate policy has become increasingly important in China in the last decade. As ...
