Environmental Audit Committee: Personal submission to Sustainability and HM Treasury inquiry
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2016-02-18)On 25 November 2015, the UK Government issued a statement to the London Stock Exchange a few hours after the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, which withdrew the capital funding support for the CCS Competition in the UK. This ... -
Authorisation of carbon dioxide storage offshore Scotland - anticipated effects of further devolution
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-06-11)Following the Scottish referendum in 2014, the Smith Commission Agreement1 proposed devolution of further powers to the Scottish Government including some affecting the authorisation of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage under ... -
SCCS response to Energy and Climate Change Committee inquiry into 2020 renewable heat and transport targets
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2016-04-28)The UK trajectory for decarbonisation has been predicated on the creation of very low- carbon electricity by 2030 and subsequent electrification of heat and transport. This seems increasingly unlikely to be delivered on ... -
House of Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee Fifth Carbon Budget Enquiry
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2016-01)More than a decade of UK state R&D investment, totalling in excess of £250 million, has shown CCS to be effective, achievable and strategically beneficial to UK objectives. The cancellation in November 2015 of the UK ... -
Towards a Public Communication and Engagement Strategy for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Projects in Scotland
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2010-08)The purpose of this report is to stimulate the design of effective engagement strategies between the public and proponents of CCS projects in Scotland. Engagement is the process of having an informed, two-way discussion ... -
Assessing interactions between multiple geological CO₂ storage sites: generic learning from the CO₂MultiStore project
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-09-15)This report is the technical output from Work Package 4, Knowledge Capture and Reporting, from the CO2MultiStore project. Work Package 1 of the project identified possible issues and potential concerns to the secure ... -
Briefing: CCS for Industrial Sources of CO₂ in Europe
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2013-08-30)Most global focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been within the power generation sector. However, over the last few years, and specifically since the G8 summit in 2010, the profile of CCS for industrial applications ... -
CO₂-EOR: Security of Storage
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-03-31)Preliminary studies from CO2-EOR in Canada have suggested that, in CO2-EOR settings, solubility trapping takes place within both aqueous and hydrocarbon phases. As such it is postulated that CO2-EOR may provide a greater ... -
CO₂-EOR in the UK: Analysis of fiscal incentives - Final Non-Technical Report
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2013-04-30)The SCCS CO2-EOR Joint Industry Project accepted a proposal by Element Energy, supported by Dundas Consultants and Prof. Kemp, to quantify the potential impacts of fiscal incentives for CO2-EOR in the UK Continental Shelf ... -
Techno-economic evaluation of CO₂-EOR in the North Sea
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-03)CO2-EOR is a possible means to produce incremental oil from active oil fields. In the ongoing climate change debate, it is also welcomed as a business case for geological storage of CO2 (CO2 Capture and Storage, CCS). The ... -
A Review of Flaring and Venting at UK Offshore Oilfields: An analogue for offshore Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery Projects?
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2014-11)This study aims to re-address the issue of flaring and venting of reproduced gases in carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2EOR) projects. Whilst a number of studies have not recognised the impact of flaring/venting in ... -
Measurement, Monitoring and Verification: Enhanced Oil Recovery and Carbon Dioxide Storage
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-03-06)This report assesses the differences between monitoring technology requirements for CO2 storage in a saline or depleted hydrocarbon reservoir and in a hydrocarbon reservoir, when CO2 injection is used for enhanced oil ... -
Legal Status of CO₂ - Enhanced Oil Recovery
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2013)This report examines key issues concerning the application of current law to the injection of CO2 associated with enhanced oil recovery operations. Its focus is on the applicable law within the United Kingdom including ... -
Transboundary Chains for CO₂ Enhanced Oil Recovery: Legal Contexts for CO₂ Injection in the North Sea
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2013-01-31)The Central North Sea (CNS) has been identified as a location with good potential for CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) from depleting oil and gas fields. EOR is considered to be an essential driver for CCS demonstration and ... -
Ship transport of CO₂ for Enhanced Oil Recovery - Literature Survey
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-01)Transport of carbon dioxide (CO2) by ship may fulfil a key role in the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS), particularly for CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the North Sea where a flexible transport system ... -
Building a CO₂ Storage Hub in the Central North Sea
(Scottish Enterprise, 2015)The International Energy Agency has long argued that Carbon Capture and Storage is the single most important technology we have in the battle to reduce CO2 emissions from power and industrial sources. Without it we will ... -
CO₂ storage and Enhanced Oil Recovery in the North Sea: Securing a low-carbon future for the UK
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-06)This report shows that accelerating deployment of CCS can enable CO2- EOR in the UKCS. Part of the CO2 that would otherwise need to go directly to dedicated storage in CCS projects can be used to drive CO2-EOR. That gives ... -
Preliminary Study on Developing Economic Multipliers for CO₂-EOR Activity
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-03)The aim of this study is to provide a preliminary assessment of how the economy-wide impacts of the introduction of enhanced oil recovery using CO2 injection (CO2-EOR) and up-stream carbon capture and storage (CCS) activities ... -
CO₂-EOR Stakeholder Perceptions and Policy Responses
(Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), 2015-03-20)Across the investigations undertaken in WP1 and WP10, analysis has been made of eight different stakeholder constituencies and their perceptions of CO2-EOR. The stakeholder groups investigated include both members of the ... -
