Advanced Fossil Energy Technologies -­ Key Issues to Energy Access
& Security and Enhancing Environmental Performance -­ Role of CCS

2. Fossil Fuel’s Role in Meeting Future Energy Demand
in a Carbon-­Constrained World
Fossil Energy will continue to be the dominant energy
resource used globally -­ relatively affordable, geographically
diverse and abundant => provides energy security
Challenge: Using fossil resources wisely across global
economies – affordable & environmentally sustainable
CCS/CCUS -­ a key role in meeting the challenge WITH:
Properly structured policies, regulatory frameworks
and incentives -­ sustainability and certainty for markets
Continued Technology RD&D investments -­-­ cost and
performance improvement
Gain understanding and acceptance –market and
public.

5. CCS TECHNOLOGY – INTERNATIONAL
DEVELOPMENTS
ASSESSMENT
Individual CCS components broadly understood
Many CCS aspects already technically mature
Safe storage displayed by CCS projects operating over the past decade
Pilot & larger scale test facilities are important contributors to knowledge
Confidence that remaining technical/economic challenges can be met
OPPORTUNITIES
Successful demonstration of integrated operation at large scale in power
and additional industrial processes is key:
o Establishes positive acceptance of CCS as a ‘proven’ technology
o Pass on ‘learning by doing’ cost savings
o Build public trust that CO2 storage is safe.
R&D to mature 2nd generation capture technologies as a ‘game-­changer’
Identification of viable storage sites to facilitate CCS deployment post 2020

6. POLICY & MARKETS – INTERNATIONAL
DEVELOPMENTS

ASSESSMENT
International policy discussions consistently acknowledge importance of CCS -­
continued progress at UNFCCC, CEM, CSLF and ISO, but …
Industry highlights that national climate and energy policies do not provide long
term clarity to support widespread adoption of CCS projects (high capex & long lived)
CCS is often not treated equivalently to other low carbon technologies
National regulations have advanced but critical uncertainties remain (storage)
Existing CCS funding programs for demos mostly exhausted
OPPORTUNITIES
Certain governments are considering approaches to re-­invigorate funding
programs – need urgent support to maintain momentum for demonstrations to 2020
U.S. – Potential support mechanisms (CURC & NEORI – Rockefeller Bill)?
Continued development of low carbon future roadmaps: sustainable policy
outcomes and market mechanisms which are technology neutral
Post Kyoto 2020 agreement for decision in 2015

7. UNDERSTANDING & ACCEPTANCE –
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
7
ASSESSMENT
Stakeholder relationship management critical to project delivery
Global awareness and understanding of CCS and CCS energy context is low
CCS communication focused on risks and challenges;; not value and opportunity
Persistent views of CCS as experimental, not cost competitive and associated
with fossil fuel instead of role in low carbon energy
Building trust with key stakeholders is critical for project acceptance
OPPORTUNITIES
Successful global demonstration program is critical to establish public and political
confidence in CCS – highlights urgency in progressing CCS demonstration projects
CCS projects are demonstrating improved sharing and use of best practice learning
Encouraging public advocacy of CCS from trusted groups like academics and
environmental NGOs to raise awareness and credibility of CCS
Improve access to education materials and experts – particularly on topics like CO2
transportation and storage.

8. Opportunities Created by Large Scale Projects with
Advanced FE Technologies
Integrated CCUS projects like Kemper – valuable enablers
for CCS along the value chain (learn by doing via demos;; drive
R&D for better capture technology;; create transport
infrastructure;; build skilled human capital;; increase understanding
and acceptance of CCS) – Southern Co. a leader in CCS/CCUS
Six of nine operating projects are CO2-­EOR and are in North
America (U.S. and Canada) -­ U.S. is a global leader
China a new entrant with 11 projects announced -­
CCS/CCUS-­ with emphasis on Utilization aspects of CO2
Advanced FE technology demos can offer platforms for next
generation CCS to lower cost and energy of capture especially
in fossil power (not just about coal) and energy intensive and
process industries (cement, steel, iron, aluminum)
BUT more incentives and support needed

9. ACTIVE LARGE SCALE INTEGRATED PROJECTS

Some progress, significant gaps, urgent call to action

10. Lessons from the Past on Energy and Environment-­
Successful Deployment of New Technologies
Technology, Policy/Regs and Market/Public Acceptance
must move in concert – informing decisions with broad input;;
creating drivers, opportunities and acceptance
Initial costs always high: advancing the technology and
creating demonstration opportunities with incentives and
sustainable policies key to successful deployment
Workable approach to phased-­in compliance is important
to success of acceptance and market penetration
Similarities and differences in compliance experience with
criteria emissions and that expected for carbon emissions
Similarities: Initially high cost;; RD&D needed for commercial adoption
& competitive tech => market choices;; initially faced future regulatory
uncertainties– timing and emission reduction mandates “debated”
Differences: lacking carbon valuation policy;; magnitude of emissions;;
global nature (sustainable policy frameworks;; collaboration and capacity
building especially in developing economies);; stakes are much higher

11. Technology – Importance of RD&D in Deployment
Creates Shared Knowledge -­ technology performance and
applications:
Cutting-­edge Capture R&D in several countries –
opportunities for collaboration (e.g., TCM Mongstad
International Test Facilities Network -­ several U.S. pilot test
facilities-­e.g., NCCC)
Capacity development in non-­OECD countries-­ e.g.,
CCS demo experience;; next generation technology;;
policy/reg/legal frameworks and general acceptance;;
Continued funding for CCS R&D and pilot testing is vital
Technology suppliers -­ key to assuring technology
maturity;; change perceptions about CCS being ‘experimental’
Warranties and performance guarantees help projects.
FOAK Demos like Kemper-­IGCC/CCS – provide a “learning
curve” for future projects – better, faster, cheaper

KEY TAKE-­AWAY: CCS HAS ESSENTIAL ROLE IN CLIMATE AND
ENERGY SECURITY PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
Fossil Fuels continues to be dominant energy source in future
Technology, Policy/Markets and Acceptance must move in
harmony and sustainably for successful outcomes
CCS in a clean technologies portfolio with equitable incentives
and treatment allows competition – provides added pathway.
Shared Knowledge from more Demos is important to
accelerating CCS progress – [GCCSI has mission to help enable]
Encourage CCS capacity building in developing economies –
major future emissions due to reliance on fossil energy
Critical funding and incentives for CCS projects can leverage
big benefits – potential $2T cost savings with inclusion of CCS
Need CCS to meet GHG targets – stakes are high
