TRANSCRIPT
About UKCCSRC The UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) leads and coordinates a programme of underpinning research on all aspects of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in support of basic science and UK government efforts on energy and climate change. The Centre brings together over 200 of the UK’s world-class CCS academics and provides a national focal point for CCS research and development. http://www.ukccsrc.ac.uk
The UK Low Carbon Transition
Climate Change Act 2008: legally binding target to reduce GHG emissions by 80% below base year levels (1990) by 2050 The power sector should largely be decarbonised by 2030 20% of generating capacity to close by 2020

Why CCS in the UK?
10 to 20 GW installed capacity has potential to create 15 - 30,000 jobs and add £2-4bn (GVA) to economy per year by 2030 (CCSA) Unique potential to decarbonise energy intensive industry BioCCS potential negative emissions

£30bn – £40bn per year if CCS not included to meet UK emissions targets (ETI 2012)
Scale of UK CCS deployment Climate Change Committee scenarios to 2030 Greater uncertainty in predicting when technologies becomes cost effective Urgent need to develop and commercialise emerging technologies like CCS Energy mix driven by Electricity Market Reform

DF-1 Peterhead 2006 - 2007
FEED completed 2007 technologically possible and promising technology Ultimately failed, timing in relation to Miller Field and first CCS competition not right Important lessons, government, technology suppliers and operators need to work together if CCS is to be commercial

First Competition for UK CCS Demonstration 2007 - 2011
Full chain demonstration on commercial scale power station (>300 MW) Post-combustion on coal Capture + store 90% of CO2 Operational by 2014 Based on sound engineering design underpinned by a full front-end engineering design (FEED) Contribute to longer term potential for CCS in UK (e.g. infrastructure) and international development £1bn

Kingsnorth CCS 2007 - 2010 Existing 2000 MW to close by 2013 Two new 800 MW supercritical units 300 – 400 MW post-combustion amine solvent CCS from day 1 Remaining plant ‘capture ready’ Kick start a Thames CCS Cluster
“Having postponed Kingsnorth last year, it has become clear that the economic conditions are still not right for us to progress the project and so, simply put, we have no power station on which to build a CCS demonstration….” Dr Paul Golby, Chief Executive E.ON UK (20th October 2010)
Longannet 2007 - 2011
“despite everyone working extremely hard, we've not been able to reach a satisfactory deal for a project at Longannet at this time, so we've taken the decision to pursue alternative projects.
A billion pounds is enough to demonstrate this vital new technology in the UK, but it's got to be spent in the most effective way.” Chris Huhne, Energy Secretary, 19th October 2011.
Retrofit to existing 600 MWe subcritical coal unit Capture 90% of CO2 from 50% of unit flue gas Required SOx and NOx abatement retrofit Utilised new and existing pipelines to transport CO2 to Goldeneye platform and reservoir (approx 350km)

First CCS Competition Lessons Learnt
Key Findings: Initially insufficient resource and experience to deliver such a project High risk undertaking. Evolving background of economic, policy and regulatory uncertainty Failure to engage with commercial risks Established finance for project 3 years after launch Narrow project specifications limited bidders and options
Positives Valuable learning experience for future competitions, findings shared with industry Technical development and knowledge sharing from FEED – e.g. ROAD / Maasvlakte

“This competition was launched in 2007 with insufficient planning and recognition of the commercial risks and cancelled four years later. With commercial scale carbon capture and storage technology still to be developed, DECC must learn from the failure of this project”

Government Support and Intervention Phase 1
Risk Sharing During Construction and
Operation
•FOAK projects inherent degree of uncertainty
•CCS Specific risks during design, build, operation and decommissioning
•Government sharing of limited number of CCS specific risks
Contract for Difference
•Strike price defined over the lifetime of the project
•Mechanisms to support CCS developers to overcome risk and uncertainty from FEED
•Mechanism under negotiation
Front End Engineering Design Costs
•Reduce engineering risk (design, cost, performance)
•Commercial and financial risk reduction
•Greater confidence in making FID
•£100m (75% of cost)
Support for Construction Costs
•Remainder of £1bn capital funding
•Projects need to raise balance of capital investment
Regulation – Triple lock
•National Policy Statement for Energy – No new coal without CCS <300MW
•Carbon Floor Price •Emissions Performance
Standard (EPS) 450g CO2/KWh limit on carbon emissions
