Early with CO2 activities

• Development from national to European Power Company

- Large CO2 emitter

Early start of R&D CCS Programme for large Power Plants

Objective of Vattenfall´s R&D project on CCS (year 2000):

- Develop commercial large scale power plant concepts for carbon capture and storage with large scale Demo 2015-18

- Reduce total cost of CO2 captured and stored to less than 20 EUR/tonne CO2 avoided

- Capture rate more than 95%

• Knowledge emanating from 8 years R&D activities

Base for present CCS activities for large power plants

- Results from a large number of Research Projects - Research since 2000 in own ”Research and Development Company”- Cooperation with a number of Universities and Manufacturers- Taking part in almost all CCS project in EC 6 FP (ENCAP, CASTOR, CO2 ReMoVe,

Dynamis, CO2 SINKand a number of projects in7 FP)

- Taking part in the ZEP activities- Operating the 30 MW OxyFuel Pilot Plant- Taking part in the Mongstad Test Center Project - Preparation of a number of Demo projects including storage in Denmark, Germany

Vattenfall’s goal:• 3 % emission reduction 2007-2010• 50% emission reduction 1990-2030

Year 0 for EEC

and Kyoto

Vision:• CO2-neutral 2050

- Technology development?- Political factors?- Economic factors?

(announced autumn 2008)

The CO2 emission goal will be reached “partly” by introduction of CCS in coal fuelled power plants “
