what is ccs skagerrak - kattegat
The Scandinavian countries intend to reduce their CO2 emissions considerably. Within a 100 km radius from a point in the middle of Skagerrak there are around 12 million tons of CO2 from large point sources, respectively 2.2, 4-6 and 4,4 mill tons from the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish energy and industry sectors. The emissions are expected to rise to 17-18 mill. tons in 10 years time, i.e. a trend which contradicts the political will to reduce CO2 emissions and meet international climate targets.
Together with regional industry, Tel-Tek recently completed a pre-study with emphasis on CO2 emissions. Before the companies can start to budget the costs for installations to capture CO2, there is an urgent need for technical and economical information about the transportation and storage infrastructure. The proposed project aims within the region:
- To establish a basis for the development of CCS infrastructure
- To show the role CCS in the development of power generation and industry with respect to environment, competitiveness and security of supply
- To increase knowledge on CO2 handling and help develop a joint understanding of challenges
- To establish an industrial/political Scandinavian forum to work out a strategy to help reduce the CO2 emissions according to their national targets
The project idea is developed together with regional industry, central and regional public authorities and the R&D-centres Tel-Tek in Porsgrunn/Norway (infrastructure of CCS), The University of Oslo/Norway (geology), Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University in Gothenburg/Sweden. The latter two will have special focus on establishing an integrated CCS infrastructure and to assess the regulatory framework of EU in the three countries involved. The project is planned to start June 2009 and end December 2011.
Poster CCS Skagerrak-Kattegat
Cooperation with industry consortium - mapping storage locations
An additional project funded by Gassnova/Climit (the organisation establised by the Norwegian Government to handle CO2-emission), and the main industry in the region, is established. The aim of this project is to map possible storing locations in the region. The project shall, in addition to the Skagerrak/Kattegat area, follow the geological structures also outside this area. The project will mainly be accomplished in 2009 and 2010.
A free float of information between the two projects during the project period, and in the conclusion of the projects, will be of great importance.
The consortium consists of Gassnova, Tel-Tek, StatoilHydro ASA, Skagerak Kraft AS, Yara Norge AS, Esso Norge AS, Preem AB, Vattenfall AB, Borealis AB, Göteborg Energi, Universitetet i Oslo, Geologisk institutt and SINTEF Petroleumforskning.
