Presentation by Tore Amundsen of TCM at launch of ENGO white paper on CCS at COP 18 in Doha.

1. Tore Amundsen
CEO, CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad

2. TCM is the world’s largest facility
for testing and improving CO2
capture.
Knowledge gained will prepare
the ground for CO2 capture
initiatives to combat climate change
world wide.

3. TCM – Highlights
2005 Government policy: No carbon based power generation
in Norway without CCS
2006 State and Statoil agreed 2-staged approach:
1: Demonstrate and develop capture technologies (TCM)
2: Build large scale (1 mTons CO2/year) capture plant
2009 Investment decision taken for TCM: = USD1Billion
Partnership established (TCM DA)
2012 Five year initial test period started

7. Collecting data from 4000 online instruments

8. Analyzing samples from 100 sampling points

9. Establish CCS as cost ▪ Reduce costs (Cost/kWh)
1
efficient climate solution ▪ Mitigate risks
with acceptable risk
2
Drive technology ▪ Take active part in shaping the
development technology landscape
Position TCM at centre ▪ Be a centre in global network
3 of a global knowledge ▪ Exploit synergy with other players
network and institutions
Establish operating model
4 which is attractive for
users of TCM

10. Discharge permit process – initial risks
• Large uncertainties regarding the effect of amine emissions as
well as amine degradation products to people and the
environment
• Studies were launched to close this knowledge gap
• Open communication established with local communities as
well as the authorities – gained trust

11. Discharge permit process - highlights
• Application for discharge permit was sent to the Climate and
Pollution Agency (Klif) 3.9.2010
• Official hearing process started 5.10.2010
• Close dialogue and contact with Klif in the process
• New knowledge obtained (from various studies) and sent to
Klif during the handling period
• NIPH set guidelines for emissions
• Final discharge permit given 16.11.2011

13. Discharge permit – Summary
• Final permit received 16.11.2011
• Air: Regulated on amines, ammonia, aldehydes, nitrosamines and nitramines. Air
concentrations expected to be lower by ratio 3 – 5 compared to guidelines
• Water: Regulated on energy in cooling water effluent. Water concentration
expected to be lower by ratio 16 – 22 compared to guidelines
• Extensive regulation on follow up activities, environmental monitoring and
measurement program. In addition extensive documentation must be sent to Klif
two months in advance before TCM is able to take in and use new solvents.
