Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can, in principle, reduce full life-cycle CO2
emissions from fossil-fuel combustion at stationary sources, such as power stations
and industrial sites, by...
65-85% (GEA, 2012). However, the operational capacity of largescale
integrated CCS projects, excluding enhanced oil recovery (EOR), so far provides for the capture of only 6 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 per year, with provisions for a further 13 Mt CO2 under construction as of early-2013 (Figure 1.7). If all planned capacity were to be constructed, this would take the total to around 90 Mt CO2, still equivalent to less
than 1% of power sector CO2 emissions in 2012. while the technology is available today,
projects need to be scaled-up significantly from existng levels in order to demonstrate
carbon capture and storage from a typical coal-tired power plant. Experience gained from large demonstration projects will be essential, both to perfecting technical solutions and driving down costs. Ultimately, a huge scale-up in CCS capacity is required if it is to make a
meaningful impact on global emissions (see Chapter 2).
---- Notes: Relates to large-scale integrated projects and, where a range is given for CO2 capture capacity, the middle of the range has been taken. Existing EOR projects are not included where they are not authorised
and operated for the purpose of CCS.
