Analysis of cost savings from networking pipelines in CCS infrastructure systems
Abstract The success of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in reducing CO2 emissions on a large scale will depend on effectively deploying CCS infrastructure. Key decisions will include where to build new capture-ready power plants or retrofit...

Analysis of energy strategies to halve CO2 emissions by the year 2050 with a regionally disaggregated world energy model
Abstract There is growing attention to the regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate the global warming, and the target of 50% reduction of GHG emissions by the year 2050 has been discussed in concrete as a long-term goal. The authors ...

Adsorption and mineral trapping dominate CO2 storage in coal systems
Abstract High- CO2 coal seams occur in many sedimentary basins world-wide and provide natural analogues of the processes likely to occur as a result of CO2 injection and storage in coal systems. CO2 is stored in coal predominantly as adsorbed...

Well integrity risk assessment of Ketzin injection well (ktzi-201) over a prolonged sequestration period
Abstract Given the global interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the 18 member CO2Sink consortium was formed to develop a pilot CO2 sequestration project near the town of Ketzin, Germany to advance the knowledge and understanding of CCS as a ...

Study of geological storage for a candidate CCS demonstration project in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan
Abstract The Prime Minister of Japan declared: Japan should positively commit itself to setting a long-term reduction target. For its mid-term goal, Japan will aim to reduce its emissions by 25% by 2020, if compared to the 1990 level, consistent...

Communication Strategy for a public information campaign on CO2 geological storage and on CCS as a whole: the case history in Italy from 2003 to 2008
Abstract In the frame of the INGV activities of the Group 5 of the European Platform on Zero Emissions Fossil Fuels Power Plants (Eu ZEP) INGV resumes 8 years of experience in public communication on CCS aimed to the public acceptance of this...

E.ON’S current CCS activities
Abstract In May 2007, E.ON Group (E.ON) set an ambitious target for reducing the specific CO2 emissions of the overall group’s electricity generation. By 2030, E.ON will reduce the specific CO2 emissions to 360 grams per kilowatt hour, half the 1990 ...
