Download or read book Geologic Storage Potential and Regulatory Amenability for Carbon Capture and Storage in Developing Countries written by Robert James Bioletti and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, developed countries can meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitments by funding carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in developing countries. Data from published sources were used to identify the five most promising developing countries and to assess the theoretical capability for CCS in those countries in terms of compatible emissions and geologic storage capacity with the potential contribution to global emissions reduction targets. Combined with an assessment of the regulatory amenability for CCS, the five countries were ranked in terms of overall feasibility for CCS. The results showed that CCS is most feasible in China, South Africa, India, Mexico, and Indonesia, in that order. Developed countries can use this research to assist in making investment decisions about CCS in developing countries to help meet greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments.

This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology could provide a technological bridge for achieving near to midterm GHG emission reduction goals. Integrated CCS technology is still under development and has noteworthy challenges, which would be possible to overcome through the implementation of large-scale demonstration projects. In order to assist developing countries to better understand issues related to potential technology deployment, there is a need to start analyzing various numerous challenges facing CCS within the economic and legal context of developing countries and countries in transition. This report is the first effort of the World Bank Group to contribute to a deeper understanding of (a) the integration of power generation with CCS technologies, as well as their costs; (b) regulatory barriers to the deployment of CCS; and (c) global financing requirements for CCS and applicable project finance structures involving instruments of multilateral development institutions. This report does not provide prescriptive solutions to overcome these barriers, since action must be taken on a country-by-country basis, taking account of different circumstances and national policies. Individual governments should decide their priorities on climate change mitigation and adopt appropriate measures accordingly. The analyses presented in this report may take on added relevance, depending on the future direction of international climate negotiations and domestic legal and policy measures in both developed and developing countries, and how they serve to encourage carbon sequestration. We expect that this report will provide insights for policy makers, stakeholders, private financiers, and donors in meeting the challenges of the deployment of climate change mitigation technologies and CCS in particular.
Download or read book Geologic Carbon Sequestration written by V. Vishal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exclusive compilation written by eminent experts from more than ten countries, outlines the processes and methods for geologic sequestration in different sinks. It discusses and highlights the details of individual storage types, including recent advances in the science and technology of carbon storage. The topic is of immense interest to geoscientists, reservoir engineers, environmentalists and researchers from the scientific and industrial communities working on the methodologies for carbon dioxide storage. Increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are often held responsible for the rising temperature of the globe. Geologic sequestration prevents atmospheric release of the waste greenhouse gases by storing them underground for geologically significant periods of time. The book addresses the need for an understanding of carbon reservoir characteristics and behavior. Other book volumes on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) attempt to cover the entire process of CCUS, but the topic of geologic sequestration is not discussed in detail. This book focuses on the recent trends and up-to-date information on different storage rock types, ranging from deep saline aquifers to coal to basaltic formations.

Download or read book Developing a Consistent Database for Regional Geologic CO2 Storage Capacity Worldwide written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 4709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessments of the geologic storage capacity of carbon dioxide in the current literature are incomplete and inconsistent, complicating efforts to assess the worldwide potential for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). We developed a method for generating first-order estimates of storage capacity requiring minimal data to characterize a geologic formation. We show this simplified method accounts for the majority of the variance in storage capacity found in more detailed studies conducted in the United States. We apply our method to create a worldwide database of storage capacity, disaggregated into 18 regions, and compare this storage capacity to CCS deployment in the MIT Economic Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model. Globally, we estimate there are between 8,000 and 55,000 gigatonnes (Gt) of practically accessible geologic storage capacity for carbon dioxide. For most of the regions, our results indicate storage capacity is not a limiting factor for CCS deployment through the rest of this century even if stringent emissions reductions are required.

Download or read book The Industrial Base for Carbon Dioxide Storage written by David S. Ortiz and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) prior to its being emitted into the atmosphere, then either using it in a commercial application or storing it in geological formations for hundreds to thousands of years. If policies aimed at large reductions of CO2 emissions from industrial sources and power plants are enacted, more CCS will be needed. RAND researchers explored the ability of the industrial base supporting the transportation and storage of CO2 to expand, assessing the industrial base for transportation and injection for CO2 for both geologic storage and enhanced oil recovery. They also identified and quantified the activities, equipment, and labor required for transporting CO2 to an injection site, using it in oil recovery, and storing it in a geologic formation. RAND developed four scenarios for future CCS development and determined that under most of them, significant expansion of geologic storage capacity is required after 2025, and that based on current activities, it appears that the industrial base supporting the development of geologic storage has the ability to meet increased needs for CO2 storage.
Download or read book Carbon Capture and Storage Theoretical Knowledge and Experiments written by Tanja Tajnik and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology that has a potential to considerably contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. The most promising abatement option currently is geological storage of CO2. Our review of international studies on CO2 storage potential reveals that some tens to some hundreds of annual CO2 emissions can be permanently stored underground worldwide. To ensure the safe geological containment of CO2 in the subsurface, risk based monitoring and regular verification of CO2 storage site is mandatory. In recent years regulatory framework for CO2 storage has been developed in many countries. In order to facilitate the deployment of CCS it is vital that the benefits of CCS are acknowledged and that power plants with CCS retain economic competitiveness compared to conventional power plants. Public perception and awareness seem to be decisive factors for successful CCS implementation. Experiences and knowledge gained through the various scientific projects (pilot and demonstration tests as well as laboratory and industrial experiments) contributed to the present level of cognizance about geological storage of CO2.

Download or read book Carbon Sequestration and Its Role in the Global Carbon Cycle written by Brian J. McPherson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 183. For carbon sequestration the issues of monitoring, risk assessment, and verification of carbon content and storage efficacy are perhaps the most uncertain. Yet these issues are also the most critical challenges facing the broader context of carbon sequestration as a means for addressing climate change. In response to these challenges, Carbon Sequestration and Its Role in the Global Carbon Cycle presents current perspectives and research that combine five major areas: The global carbon cycle and verification and assessment of global carbon sources and sinks Potential capacity and temporal/spatial scales of terrestrial, oceanic, and geologic carbon storage Assessing risks and benefits associated with terrestrial, oceanic, and geologic carbon storage Predicting, monitoring, and verifying effectiveness of different forms of carbon storage Suggested new CO2 sequestration research and management paradigms for the future. The volume is based on a Chapman Conference and will appeal to the rapidly growing group of scientists and engineers examining methods for deliberate carbon sequestration through storage in plants, soils, the oceans, and geological repositories.

Download or read book Geological Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide written by T. R. Carter and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2), also known as carbon capture and storage (CCS), is a technical process that involves capturing CO2 from large point sources, purifying the emissions to maximize the CO2 content, and transporting the CO2 to a storage site where it is injected, using a specially constructed well, into deep geological formations for permanent storage. This report reviews the current state of knowledge of this technology and its status, both nationally and worldwide, and the opportunities for CO2 sequestration in geological formations in the province of Ontario. With its available geologic storage capacity close to large industrial point sources of CO2, proven infrastructure and highly trained scientific and technical community, Ontario has the potential to become a world leader in carbon sequestration technology while making meaningful reductions in CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.--Document.
Download or read book Carbon Capture written by R E Hester and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only method available for reducing CO2 emissions while allowing continued use of fossil fuels, both for power generation and potentially in broader contexts. Carbon capture technologies are already playing a role in reducing emissions from large sources such as power stations. Carbon capture could potentially tackle these emissions, either by use of photosynthetic organisms to fix carbon, providing a biomass energy source or by direct capture from the air. Various potential options are available for carbon storage, including geological, mineral and ocean storage. This book describes the current options available and discusses the potential for future CCS strategies.
