IDRIC Southampton/Solent Cluster
Cluster Differences:
Few major CO2
point sources
Few suitable CO2
storage
opportunities
Not (yet) well organized for carbon
capture, utilization and storage
(CCUS)
Cluster Potential:
Storage, Transfer and Shipping of
CO2
Capture and efficiencies of
small/medium-sized industries
BECCS – “negative” carbon emissions

Solent Point Sources – NOT ALL!!

Potential for local saline aquifers
Portland Gas Storage Project (PGSP), Dorset
2008: Granted planning permission for a 10 million tonnesCO2 storage facility and associated infrastructure in saline aquifers.
2012: Application submitted to the CCS Commercialisation Programme (CCSCP) – unfortunately unsuccessful
St. Alban’s Head in Dorset potential to store over 500 million
tonnes of CO2
Potential for shipping?
