DNV sees an opportunity to reduce project construction risks by establishing and aligning best practices through third-party monitoring of project performance,” says Hans Kristian Danielsen, Head of DNV Cleaner Energy in Australia. DNV REPORT CONFIRMS HUGE POTENTIAL FOR COAL BED METHANE IN ASIA Coal bed methane may become as important for Asia and Australia as shale gas has become for North America. For this to come true, the coal bed methane industry must overcome critical commercial, technical and regulatory challenges. Coal bed methane is a methane gas which, with the help of hydrostatic pressure, is locked within unmined coal seams. A DNV-facilitated study has concluded that reliable verification schemes, more comprehensive performance monitoring systems, more specific environmental guidelines and more reliable risk mitigation options are needed to make this industry expand. Almost 40% of the global coal bed methane reserves are located in China, Australia, India and Indonesia. + DNV ACCELERATES ITS CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE ACTIVITIES IN ASIA PACIFIC CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE, ENABLING THE USE OF CO2 FOR ENHANCED OIL AND GAS RECOVERY, IS CURRENTLY BEING PLANNED FOR PROJECTS IN ASIA, AUSTRALIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST. DNV, together with the industry, has recently developed recommended guidelines and best practices for CO2 geological storage selection and risk assessment. DNV is in close dialogue with energy ministries and leading energy companies throughout Asia. Areas addressed include feasibility studies for CO2 capture from onshore power plants, offshore and onshore gas production from gas streams containing high amounts of CO2, and subsequent storage in depleted gas fields. The use of CCS to enhance oil recovery is also high on the agenda. “One of the most difficult hurdles facing CCS is locating geological sites which are safe for long-term CO2 storage and have the required CO2 storage capacity and injectivity” says Chief Technology Officer Dr Jens Petter Tronskar of DNV’s Clean Technology Centre in Singapore. “A number of companies have been awaiting the internationally recognised ISO 50001 standard, and this accreditation is very important for providing energy management system certification to clients worldwide,” says Tor Gunnar Tollefsen, Global Product Manager for Management System Services in DNV Business Assurance. + ACCREDITED FOR NEW ENERGY MANAGEMENT STANDARD The new standard ISO 50001 is the first internationally recognised energy management system standard, and DNV was among the first certification bodies to receive accreditation. DNV Business Assurance was granted the full accreditation scope under the Dutch RvA scheme, and offers certification to organisations worldwide. DNV Business Assurance has already been active in energy management for several years, offering certification according to EN 16001, the European energy management system standard, but also according to national standards. 10 – no 01 2012
+ Carbon capture and storage PRESIDENT ZUMA DISCUSSED CARBON CAPTURE AT DNV THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT, JACOB ZUMA, NORWAY´S KING HARALD V, THE NORWEGIAN MINISTER OF OIL AND GAS, OLA BORTEN MOE, AND NUMBER OF INDUSTRY PLAYERS MET AT DNV RECENTLY TO DISCUSS COOPERATION AND THE FUTURE FOR CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE (CCS). DNV ENCOURAGES A CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN STAKEHOLDERS IN ORDER TO REALISE CCS AS AN INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY. TEXT: SVEIN INGE LEIRGULEN PHOTOS: NINA E. RANGØY President Zuma visited DNV as part of his State visit to Norway, and CCS was on the agenda. “Developing CCS into a mature solution is a long-term assignment which many countries and companies now have taken a great responsibility to handle. I am therefore glad to see that a number of industrialscale CCS projects are already in operation or in development, and several of these are located in Norway and in continental Europe,” said DNV CEO Henrik O. Madsen in his speech to the representatives from South Africa and Norway. He continued in his speech, “However, though considerable technical developments have been achieved, challenges remain for a global deployment of CCS. The challenge is complex, but it looks promising. It is all about obtaining sustainable interaction between technology developers, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions. And it is not least about building trust amongst the public.” This is why DNV has taken the role in developing international guidelines and standards for the whole CO2 value chain; from capture and transport to safe storage of CO2. These have been developed through a collaborative approach with industry and regulators. After the launch early last year, the guidelines have been widely used in the industry, and the new European CCS directive is referring to DNV’s guidelines for CO2 transport and I President of South Africa Joseph Zuma entering DNV’s head office together with DNV CEO Henrik O. Madsen. storage. Our aim is for many other countries to use this compiled knowledge as basis for their own regulations. DNV has been chosen by the European Commission to facilitate the European Union’s knowledge sharing network, where experiences from the European CCS demonstration projects are captured. Closing up the meeting, President Zuma commented: “Climate change will affect all of us. The development of the CCS technology is an attempt to meet this challenge. It is clear to us that this is a part of the total solution. This technology is really welcome, and it is important that we work together moving forward.” no 01 2012 – 11
