The case for a Tees CCS networkFinal Reportinitiatives, and health, safety and environmental aspects of CCS system designand operation.Legal impediments to commercial discussions between stakeholders and to CCSdeployment.The ownership, strategies, or activities of key stakeholders and associations.The Organisation should influence :The design of European, UK, North East and local policies, regulation and otherinitiatives for CO 2 capture from the coal, gas and industrial sectors and for CO 2transport and storage infrastructure.Regional and local public and political opinion on CCSThe priorities of trade associations (e.g. CCSA, CIA).The priorities for UK and regional public and private CO 2 storage evaluationNational planning for energy, CCS and offshore infrastructureFurther the Organisation should seek to act as a single point-of contact to control directly: Shared responses to Consultations 3 Marketing of a CCS network to wider stakeholders. Contractual commitments between stakeholders (e.g. emitters and transportcompany) to use network if available, to ensure these are compatible with widerobjectives. The design specification of CO 2 transport and storage infrastructure (capacity,location, entry/exit specifications). Engagement with other regional CCS networks (for example in Scotland,Yorkshire and Rotterdam) on issues of common interest.Any organisation should share lessons with others on stakeholder organisation 4 , riskmanagement and allocation, attracting investment, technical specification 5 , and CCS costsand performance.Recommendation Three – Provide key stakeholders with an independent, robustassessment of accessible CO 2 storage options.Recognising that transport and storage costs and risks will depend on the storage sitechosen, and that transparency will be critical to obtaining the necessary stakeholdersupport, this report recommends a continuation of efforts already underway to evaluateaccessible CO 2 storage options.Recommendation Four – Strengthen and support the commercial scale for a CCSanchor project and a CCS network in North East EnglandLocal stakeholders should critically review, strengthen and where appropriate, stronglypromote proposals for CCS demonstration projects to be located in the North East of3See for example recent electricity market and CCS related consultations listed athttp://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/consultations/open/open.aspx , the carbon floor price consultationavailable at http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/consult_carbon_price_support.htm and ongoing updates to nationalplanning policy consultations such ashttps://www.energynpsconsultation.decc.gov.uk/docs/ConsultationDocument.pdf4 See for example Yorkshire Forward‟s CCS network, Scotland, Rotterdam and the ZEP Task Force.5 As an example, DNV‟s Pipetrans phase project examines common entry specification for CO 2 pipelines.8
The case for a Tees CCS networkFinal ReportEngland and the overall business case for a CCS network. This will ensure suitablenetwork anchor projects are seen as viable in delivering all the objectives of CCSdemonstration and have the support of stakeholders making them realistic candidates tonucleate a CCS network.Recommendation Five – Include CCS within local planning policiesContinue to examine opportunities to reduce costs and barriers through the optimalinclusion of CCS infrastructure requirements within national and local planning policies.This could include updating further the North South Tees Industrial DevelopmentFramework to safeguard further potential rights of way identified for potential CO 2pipelines.Recommendation Six –Explore public/NGO support for CCS deployment in the TeesValleyConsider a pilot public/NGO engagement study to understand social drivers and barriersfor CCS deployment in Teesside.Recommendation Seven – Continue to support other options for CO 2 reductionRecognising that reducing the amount of CO 2 to collect will reduce absolute costs forcapture, transport and storage, Tees Valley CO 2 emitters will still need to continue toexamine all opportunities for reducing CO 2 emissions and share their forecast emissionswhere possible.Recommendation Eight – Examine the impacts of pipeline entry specifications onthe costs and feasibility of CO 2 capture and compression for North East emittersand potential storage operations.Recognising that the entry specification for any transport network may influence captureand storage investments, the Task Force should ensure key stakeholders are fullyinformed as to the impacts of choices, to ensure system-wide benefits are not threatened.Participation in international programmes would ensure stakeholders are up-to-date withtechnology development.If stakeholders decide to push forward with plans to develop CCS infrastructure, a feasibletimeline for implementing the steps needed to deliver a joint venture-based approach(coupled to a suitable anchor project) is described below in Figure 19..9
