have been solved.
Transposition of EU Directive accomplished.
- Transport: - Application for permits ground surveys
submitted.
- Injection: - Feasibility studies for subsurface structure
and injection system.
- FEED for platform and well(s).
- Storage: - Ongoing modelling of storage site and
engineering of exploration drilling.
- Application for exploration permit ongoing.
| | | | 14
16. Update ROAD
Design of capture plant is complete
Draft permits (environmental/spatial) are about to be published.
Storage permit has been successfully reviewed by the
Commission, which has given its first Opinion
Flow assurance study has been completed
Storage facility negotiations are progressing well

20. What is the CCS Project Network?
Established in 2009 to generate early benefit from a coordinated
European action on CCS-demonstration projects
Current members includes the seven projects; however Jänschwalde
will unfortunately be leaving the Network until the project is restarted
Projects fulfilling qualification criteria can join
Objectives
Enabling knowledge-sharing amongst projects
Leverage experience of projects in order to gain public confidence
about CCS
Promote CCS, EU leadership and cooperation potential to third
parties/countries
| | | | 20
21. Network update – change of secretariat
New secretariat for the Network effective 21 March 2012.
The new secretariat consists of:
The Global CCS Institute is a not-for-profit independent entity. It’s global members include
350 government, industry, academia bodies. It focuses on knowledge sharing and assisting
projects
IFPEN is a public-sector research, industrial innovation and training centre active in the
fields of energy, transport and the environment.
TNO applies scientific knowledge with the aim of strengthening the innovative power of
industry and government.
SINTEF is one of the largest independent European research institutes, focusing on power
generation and energy conversion technologies, distribution and end-use.
| | | | 21
22. How do we operate?
Structure
Members, bound by Membership Agreement and Knowledge Sharing
Protocol.
Steering Committee provides leadership.
Advisory Forum provides guidance.
Wide outreach to stakeholders and dissemination of data and findings.
Activities
Regular knowledge sharing events, reporting & dissemination.
Knowledge reporting form twice-yearly.
Website and Intranet.
International links.
Engagement with forums such as ZEP.
| | | | 22
23. What have we done?
Thematic webinars April/May 2012.
Working sessions in Oslo and Hamburg (2010) and Rotterdam (2011).
Knowledge sharing event in Porto Tolle, Compostilla and Lódz (2011).
Advisory Forum-meetings in Brussels in 2010 and 2011.
Four themes have been focussed on in 2010 and 2011.
Public Engagement.
Risk Management (2010).
Permitting.
Storage (2011).
and Lessons learned reports have been published on the 2010 and 2011
themes.
| | | | 23
24. What will we do?
A deeper and more focused approach to knowledge sharing:
Collecting data and sharing them in-line with the Protocol.
Reviewing the current system for data collection and sharing.
Greater and clearer dissemination of findings
More focused topics to be developed in 2012:
Public Engagement
Regulatory Development
Storage (monitoring, characterisation)
Development of “new” tools such as webinars and methods for fast-
bilateral exchange.
| | | | 24
25. What are our challenges going forward?
The real challenge is in progress of the projects themselves!
If the projects are in a good shape, the Network is in a good shape.
Some projects on the verge of important decisions.
Main hurdles:
Project finance
Time
Public and political support for storage
Extrinsic threats
| | | | 25
26. Conclusions
The Network is in a good shape.
We need to go deeper into knowledge sharing
(vs. exchange of lessons learned “only”).
The real challenges lie in the progress of the projects themselves and
the hurdles which seem to remain unchanged whilst time goes on
(a generally felt concern).
