CCS Showcase - The Supply Chain Perspective

About this event

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the process of capturing CO2 from sources such as power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere. The process is the only way that the UK can reduce CO2 emissions and keep fossil fuels in the electricity supply mix.

Significant movements for a UK CCS industry were announced in 2013, with DECC shortlisting two projects for the £1bn CCS Commercialisation Programme Competition: the Peterhead Project in Aberdeenshire and the White Rose project in North Yorkshire.

White Rose CCS Project

Capture Power Limited, the consortium of Alstom, Drax and BOC is developing a state-of-the-art CCS demonstration project - White Rose at Selby, North Yorkshire. Once operational, the plant will have a capacity of 426MWe, with the captured CO2 (90%) being transported via onshore and offshore pipelines for storage in the southern North Sea. This transportation and storage element of the project is part of an infrastructure shared with two other projects of the Humberside CCS Cluster, in association with National Grid Carbon. The White Rose CCS Project was awarded a FEED in late 2013, marking another major next step in the CCS Commercialisation Programme.



Peterhead CCS Project

Shell and SSE are developing the world’s first full-scale gas carbon capture and storage (CCS) project – the Peterhead CCS Project. Up to 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions could be captured from the Peterhead Power Station and transported by pipeline, offshore for long-term storage deep under the North Sea. In 2013, the Peterhead CCS Project was chosen as one of two CCS demonstration projects to progress to the next stage of the Government’s CCS Commercialisation Competition funding. The project is now moving into the FEED phase. An agreement was signed between Shell and the UK Government in February 2014, allowing the project to move into this phase, which is expected to last through 2014 and 2015.

 

As CCS becomes more of a focus point for the UK energy market, the EIC, the Carbon Capture & Storage Association (CCSA) and DECC are bringing together government, industry leaders and suppliers to discuss the future of the industry and the opportunities that projects will bring for the UK supply chain as the sector develops.
