Only 3 successful CCS Projects
Weyburn-Midale project burying CO2 from a coal gasification plant in N Dakota in a depleted field in Saskatchewan. Salah gasfield in Algeria, run by BP strips CO2 from natural gas and injects it back into the ground. Statoil, a large Norwegian oil and gas company, performs a similar trick at two places in the North Sea.

EU pumps 10 billion euros for burying CO2
EU is close to agreeing on a source of public funding for power stations to trap and bury CO2. The EU said up to 10 billion euros ($14.20 billion) could be used from a strategic reserve of emission permits to promote the emerging technology. Companies such as Siemens are working on cutting-edge technology to trap CO2, and pump it into empty gas fields and deep underground caverns. (Sep 2008) - Read More

underground Coal Gasification (UCG)
underground coal gasification (UCG), a different type of CCS (the new German plant uses oxyfuel combustion and other demo plants are using pre- and post-combustion methods) that burns coal without mining it - projects that would produce energy by burning the coal where it lies, deep below the Earth’s surface. - Read More

Coal Likely to Make Up 60% of EU Power Generation by 2030
McKinsey said that, with coal still likely to make up 60% of EU power generation by 2030, CCS could be a vital solution to ensuring security of energy supply and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. - Read More

Carbon capture viable by 2030 but needs £8bn to begin now
A study by the consultancy McKinsey into carbon capture and storage (CCS) showed that such plants could be economically viable by 2030 at the latest. But it would require substantial public subsidies to get 10-12 plants running by the EU target date of 2015. They cost twice or three times as much as conventional coal plants: about €2bn for the 300 megawatt plants planned by the industry, which is refusing to go ahead without public subsidies. - Read More

Burying CO2 and CCS
Companies are working on cutting-edge technology to trap CO2 and pump it into empty gas fields and deep underground caverns, but utilities are reluctant to use the process as it adds about 1 billion euros ($1.42 billion) to the cost of each power plant. - Read More
