CO2 storage: Why, Where and How?
Description
Due to lack of public acceptance, land-based CO2 storage is off the table for now. Storage under the seabed seems a good alternative. Where under the North Sea floor can this storage take place safely and leak-free. And what is needed to realise this scenario.
In addition to the social importance, technical aspects and experience with CO2 capture and storage in the North Sea will also be discussed.
DHV will give a presentation on the possible storage locations and the possibilities and limitations for reusing the existing gas infrastructure in the North Sea based on a study DHV carried out for NOGEPA (the branch organisation of the oil and gas extraction industry). Especially now that CO2 storage on land is off the table, the options offshore are put in a new perspective. It also discusses the relationship of CO2 capture and storage with CO2 emissions trading and looks at the integration of functions in the North Sea.
The company GDF SUEZ has had years of experience with CO2 capture and storage in gas reservoirs in the North Sea. The thermodynamic behaviour of CO2 and the conditions for safe storage will also be discussed here.
The Rotterdam Storage and Capture Demonstration Project ROAD will also be explained during this evening meeting. The aim is to capture around one megaton of CO2 per year from 2015 and then store it in low gas fields under the North Sea.
The panel will consist of Mr Juriaan Mieog of DHV, Mr Daan D'Hoore of GDF SUEZ, Mr Jaap Breunese of TNO and a representative of ROAD
