  • *** DRAFT ** Sustainable Development and CO2 Capture and Storage
    *** DRAFT ** Sustainable Development and CO2 Capture and Storage A report for UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs Prepared by Dr Paul Freund 31 August 2007 Executive Summary The threat of climate change and the importance of fossil fuels in global energy supply have recently stimulated much interest in CO2 capture and storage (CCS). The most important application of CO2 capture would be in power generation, the sector which is responsible for 75% of global CO2 emissions from large stationary industrial sources. Two options for capture are based on well established technology - post-combustion capture using chemical solvent scrubbing would be used in current designs of power stations; pre-combustion capture using physical solvent separation involves a small modification to the design of gasification based systems which are increasingly being considered for future power plants. A third approach, oxyfuel combustion, has not yet been demonstrated at full scale but several pilot plants are under construction. Captured CO2 would be transported by pipeline to storage in geological formations – this might be in disused oil or gas fields or in deep saline aquifers. Use of the CO2 to enhance oil or gas production offers the possibility of generating some income to offset part of the cost of CCS. CCS increases the energy used for power generation by about 25-50% and reduces emissions by about 85%. The levelized cost of electricity generation would be increased by between 40% and 90% depending on the design of the plant and type of fuel. There is sufficient capacity worldwide for CO2 storage to make a substantial contribution to reducing global emissions, although the capacity is not distributed evenly.

Under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016 (schedule 5, part 1, paragraph 19) a variation may comprise a consolidated permit reflecting the variations and a notice specifying the variations included in that consolidated permit. Schedule 2 of the notice comprises a consolidated permit which reflects the variations being made. All the conditions of the permit have been varied and are subject to the right of appeal. Purpose of this variation: Article 21(3) of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) requires the Environment Agency to review conditions in permits that it has issued and to ensure that the permit delivers compliance with relevant standards, within four years of the publication of updated decisions on Best Available Techniques (BAT) Conclusions. We have reviewed the permit for this installation against the revised BAT Conclusions for the large combustion plant sector published on 17th August 2017. Only activities covered by this BAT Reference Document have been reviewed and assessed. This variation makes the below changes following the review under Article 21(3) of the IED and the consolidation of the Environmental Permitting Regulations that came into force on the 4 January 2017: Revised emission limits and monitoring requirements for emissions to air applicable from 17 August 2021 in table S3.1a; Inclusion of process monitoring for energy efficiency in table S3.4.
