12. PROJECT KNOWLEDGE SHARING
– AEP mountaineer project (1)
KEY ASPECTS OF AEP’S MOUNTAINEER PROJECT
The project aimed to design, construct, and operate Alstom’s chilled ammonia
process to capture approximately 90% of the CO2 from a 235 MWe slipstream
from the existing 1300 MWe Mountaineer power plant.
Around 1.5 million tonnes per annum of CO2 were to be treated, compressed and
injected into suitable deep saline formations for permanent storage approximately
2.5 kilometres underground.
REPORTS AND OUTCOMES
The knowledge sharing reports delivered to the Institute covered a wide range of
topics including: technical studies, business case, engineering and design
considerations, integration and storage.
In July 2011, AEP announced the project would be put on-hold beyond the front-end
engineering design (FEED) phase, due to the current uncertain status of national
climate policy and weak economy.

AEP has put the project on hold as a lack of
federal climate change legislation adversely
impacting AEP’s ability to fund it’s cost share
of the commercial scale project.
14. PROJECT KNOWLEDGE SHARING
– ROAD project (Netherlands) (1)
14
PROJECT DETAILS
Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands
Status: Define
Proponent: Maasvlakte CCS Project C.V., a joint venture of E.ON Benelux
and Electrabel (a subsidiary of GDF Suez Group)
Technical aspects
Construction of a new E.ON Maasvlakte Power Plant 3 (MPP3), a 1070 MW (gross) coal-
and biomass-based power plant.
Retrofit of post-combustion capture is being designed on a 250 Mwe unit of the plant,
capturing approx 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 per annum.
The captured CO2 will be transported through a 26 km pipeline to the P-18-A Platform of
TAQA in the North Sea and injected into depleted gas reservoirs at a depth of 3500 metres
under the sea bed.
The project has obtained all necessary permits and concluded all its costing and technical
design work – FID is expected later this year.
15. PROJECT KNOWLEDGE SHARING
– ROAD project (Netherlands) (2)

PERMITTING PROCESS REPORT
A large number of permits required for all aspects of the CCS chain
Obtaining a storage permit was most challenging issue for the project
Key issues for the storage permit relate to the:
Amount of information requested by the permitting authority
Financial Security (funds needed for post-closure activities)
Transfer of responsibility and liability
16. PROJECT KNOWLEDGE SHARING
– Project Pioneer (Canada) (1)
16
TransAlta announced the cancellation of this project on the 26th of April 2012, on the grounds
that "the revenue from carbon sales and the price of emissions reductions [were] insufficient to
allow the project to proceed at this time".
KEY ASPECTS OF PROJECT PIONEER
The project was built as a retrofit of TransAlta and Capital Power Corporations' Keephills 3
(K3) coal-based power plant
Pioneer would have captured one million tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide (CO2)
through post-combustion technology (MHI).
The CO2 was to be transported for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in nearby oil fields as well
as for permanent storage in deep saline formations.
REPORTS AND OUTCOMES
Knowledge sharing reports cover a wide range of topics including: regulatory, project risk,
socio-economic, public opinion, construction execution, commercial structuring, CCS
integration, risk management, and MMV technology issues.

Location: South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Status: Define
Proponent: 2Co Energy Limited
Technical aspects
2Co Energy is proposing to build a new, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC)
power plant - 920 MW (gross) - and capturing more than 91 per cent of its CO2 emissions.
Approximately 4.9 million tonnes per annum of CO2 would be captured through pre-
combustion capture technology.
CO2 is proposed to be transported via a 90km onshore pipeline to the North Sea coast.
From there the pipeline will continue approximately 300km offshore to its final storage
destination.
Two offshore storage options are being studied: both EOR prospects ann deep saline
formations in the southern North Sea.
Front end engineering and design (FEED) studies have been completed and the project is
now looking to improve its business case.
