New Energy Infrastructure for CCS

LondonNovember 2011

Guy Konings MSc

Stedin is responsible for transport of natural gas and electricity in the western part of The Netherlands

Our Mission:

Safe and continuous energy transport through our grids to

millions of consumers and companies, now and in the future

Increasing need for New Energy Infrastructures

Drivers for change

• World energy demand growing

• Finite energy decline

• Renewable energy

Sustainable Growth in the Rotterdam Area

Pillars for growth

• Energy efficiency

• Renewable energy

• Carbon Capture, Re-use and Storage

4

Rotterdam objectives

• 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2025 (versus 1990 level)

• 100% climate neutral city by 2025

• strengthening both economy and the surrounding region

CCS is most important part of total CO2 reduction

Key requirements for CCS

• Building public confidence and involvement

• Pilot demonstrations needed to reach full-scale deployment

• Governmental cooperation and coordination needed

• Resolving legal issues

The Rotterdam integrated CCS project

• Currently 2 CCS demo projects in the Rotterdam area

1. ROAD project from E.On and Electrabel (1,1 MTA CO2)

2. Green Hydrogen Project from Air Liquide (0.5 MTA CO2)

• CO2 onshore pipeline infrastructure and connection

pipelines to emitters

• Connected to a CO2 Hub Terminal that arranges for further

• Connected to a CO2 Hub Terminal that arranges for further

offshore transport ���� shipping and EOR

• Launching customers: Air Liquide and ROAD

• Independent transport model with non discriminating

transport tariffs

• Standardised CO2 specification and pressure

• Gaseous CO2 pipeline transport through the Rotterdam Area

• Common carrier length 25 km

• Initially over dimensioned

• 20 inch carbon steel, PE coated outside

• Operating pressure 30 - 35 bar (gas phase flow)

H2O content in CO2 < 1 ppm

The collection and transport pipeline dimensions

• H2O content in CO2 < 1 ppm

• Envisaged CO2 reduction 2,5 MTA (2015 - 2020)

• Final Investment Decision: Q3 2013 ���� Start operation: 2016

The bigger picture for CCS

CO2 to greenhouses

Technical issues we are working on (1)

Defining CO2 composition specification

• Alligning CO2 composition specification for different

CO2 sources that feed into the CO2 pipeline system

• CO2 impurities (N2, H2, O2, etc.)

• Development of state-of-the-art knowledge regarding

the thermodynamic model

1111

the thermodynamic model

• Risks related to impurities

• Connection to greenhouse horticulture

Balancing the overall system is complex

• Seasonal changes, whole chain reliability, spark spread

Technical issues we are working on (2)

Integrating different CO2 transport networks

• Integrating long distance high-pressure transport

systems and low pressure short distance collection

networks

• Temporary storage facilities integrated in small and

large scale collection and transport networks

1212

large scale collection and transport networks

Strong need for key figures and engineering data for EOR

• Translating the existing US knowledge base for CO2

based Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) to the European

situation – key data and modeling
