42 The recommendations following this study are detailed and specific to the aims of the Carbon Capture and Storage Partnership for Yorkshire and Humber. Though this report shows the benefits of large scale co-operation in addressing climate change using CCS, it rests on effective initiation to the ability to transport CO2. This will best be enabled by a cluster of projects, driven by UK government policy and other mechanisms, to quickly reduce both capture costs, transport and storage costs. Strategic leadership at the highest level is required to ensure that this project develops at the necessary pace and scale to contribute to the draft Climate Change bill target to cut CO2 emissions compared to 1990 by 26% to 32% by 2020. Potentially, it could capture a significant proportion of those emissions by 2020. The recommendations are grouped as follows: Carbon Capture and Storage Network 11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 11.1 GOVERNMENT Yorkshire Forward promote a cluster of CCS projects to be an early material action in addressing climate change and justify an efficient CO2 transport and storage system driven by the co-operation by the capture site organisations and public bodies. The UK government, through whatever process including zero emissions power projects, funding support, provision of infrastructure or other means, designate a cluster approach apply to the first phase of CCS projects in the UK demonstrating CCS at least at the scale of the current demonstration proposal. This should be in line with at least the time scales of the “Central” scenario with operation in 2016 in order to materially address the cumulative emissions of CO2 from this country. An early decision is needed to establish a long-term, secure funding stream from UK revenues derived from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, both in phase II and phase III of the ETS to deploy CCS. Provide further evidence of regional CCS benefits. Enable regulation to secure way leaves in the same way as for natural gas pipelines. Progress the ability to transport and store CO2 from non-UK sources. 11.2 ECONOMIC WORK Cost benefit analysis on the sustainable development of CCS; this has already been initiated by Yorkshire Forward. Adopt or develop example business cases for the complete CCS activity including capture and storage to illustrate public discussions for a number of Tier 0 (Over 1m tonne/year) emitters with CO2 value and various financial assumptions using the network transport costs as an input. Evaluate the potential to reduce the initial costs of establishing the network by re-use of existing infrastructure. Develop the value added aspects of CCS including enhanced oil recovery, shared use of way leaves, synergy of decommissioning gas fields, importation of CO2 for storage, physical offsetting between sources on the network, and impacts for smaller emitters. More detailed scenarios to understand the possible scope and benefits for the local supply of H2 via pipeline to conveniently located smaller power and combined heat and power installations to demonstrate the possibilities. Linear programming and sensitivity analysis to show the most effective project scenario, fundamental variables and incremental benefits or impacts from manipulating project variables.
11.3 TECHNICAL Research into offshore storage site availability: viability of depleted gas fields, current decommissioning details, dates of use, possibility of using existing pipelines, wells and structures, and likely monitoring issues and approaches. Research into southern North Sea saline aquifers; identify uncertainties associated with them and the methods, timescales and costs to prove them as stores for CO2. Further investigation of selected fields to model what actual injectivity can be achieved to determine the costs and benefits of field investment and timing of transport links. 11.4 CARBON Research into carbon footprint of whole CCS network from each plant to storage: calculate how much carbon will be used in the whole process i.e. including converting plants/capture/transport/storage. Abated value analysis compared to stored costs. Evaluate CCS compared to improved demand side/efficiencies, nuclear, CHP and renewable energy as a low carbon energy source. Carbon Capture and Storage Network 43 11.5 SOCIAL Research into public and industry perceptions of CCS; how current population feels/how to increase knowledge/how to improve perception etc. More detailed research into environmental impacts of CO2 transport, both pipelines and shipping. Further research into detailed benefits both social/environmental it will bring to region as a whole. 11.6 SAFETY Continue support for the health and safety work of the CCSA and UKCCSC. Detailed safety case of CO2 transportation onshore including consultation with the HSE. The issues of a shared way-leave between CO2, natural gas and H2 pipes be understood and, for certain routes, wayleaves are designed with this option in mind.
