DNV forecasts that the world is on track for CCS to abate less than 4% of fossil CO 2 emissions in 2050, compared to the around 20% that would be needed for the world to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement. The majority of senior energy professionals expect CCS to scale significantly in the next five years.
DNV is enabling the commercialization of CCS value chains and delivering assurance to projects and stakeholders: ensuring the safety of CCS operations, maintaining the integrity of CCS infrastructure, and driving cost efficiencies.
- CO 2 capture – Selecting the right capture technology is critical to success across the project value-chain. In recent years the focus has moved beyond CO 2 capture from gas processing or fossil fuel power generation to include hard-to-abate industries such as cement, steel, refining, hydrogen, and ammonia.
- CO 2 pipelines – Connecting CO 2 sources and capture locations to permanent geological storage sites is an essential part of the CCS chain. Today, CO 2 is primarily transported through pipelines.
- CO 2 shipping – Alongside pipelines, CO 2 shipping can enable flexible and scalable CCS infrastructure that can adapt to future capture projects and storage sites. Ships are also preferable for small or short lifetime CO 2 sources that cannot justify a dedicated pipeline.
- CO 2 storage – For geological storage of CO 2 , it is fundamental to create confidence that the geological formations selected for CO 2 storage are suitable for the purpose, will deliver long-term emission reductions and do not involve unacceptable risk.
- Value chains and market development – For CCS technologies to be realized globally, it is the near-term actions that count. From financing to policy and partnerships, industry and government players need to take action today to build the CCS market of the future.
