Scenario for electricity generation capacity to 2050 Electricity
imports / exports
Non-thermal renewable generation
Nuclear power
Combustion + CCS
Conventional thermal plant
Domestic demand
Around a quarter of our plant will
close by 2020
Electricity demand could double by 2050
Up to £110bn investment in new generation and transmission to 2020 likely to
be required – over double the investment that has come forward in the last
decade.
Need to decarbonise – 80% reduction by 2050
UK distinctive advantage
for CCS

• Front End Engineering and Design is an intermediate step in defining scope
and reducing uncertainty ahead of major financial commitment
• The typical scope of an integrated chain FEED programme for CCS is
– Capture plant design; Transport (pipeline) routing/ design/ easements;
Storage development plan and Power station integration plan
– Project execution plan (including scope, programme, cost, procurement
strategy, risk management and organisation)
– Commissioning and start up plan, Operations philosophies and Design
HSE case
– Regulatory compliance and permitting plan and Consent/ permit
applications
– Knowledge Transfer plan and Stakeholder engagement plan

• CCS specific areas of technical focus beyond FEED ‘business as usual’
– CO2 safety considerations
– CO2 fluid phase behaviour
– Introduction of new regulations for CO2
– CO2 corrosion
– Reversal of normal flow
• The FEED studies generated
– Improved cost and risk understanding to inform decisions
– Insights into commercial and technical integration of complex supply chain
– Regulatory progress enabled by real projects
– Experience from engagement with local stakeholders
– Learning to improve future CCS delivery programme procurement
• CCS specific knowledge is publicly available

• 2 reports on website in October ‘11
• >2,400 visits in first week
• 6 continents (not Antarctica!)
• 30% outside UK
~60% Other Europe
~20% North America
~10% Australasia

12
• Up to £1billion capital support for the future CCS programme
• Submitted NER 300 bids to European Commission
• Opened up the process for future projects to include gas
• Wider reforms introduced to underpin deployment of CCS:
– Implementation of EU CCS Directive
– Electricity Market Reform
– Energy Act 2011 CCS reforms to make re-use of existing
capital assets more straightforward
– Carbon Price Floor
– Emissions Performance Standard
Other progress in past year

Delivering a specific outcome…
“As a result of the intervention, private sector electricity companies
can take investment decisions to build CCS equipped fossil fuel power
stations, in the early 2020s, without Government capital subsidy, at an
agreed CfD strike price that is competitive with the strike prices for
other low carbon generation technologies”
by…
• CCS Roadmap (to be published Q1 2012)
• Reducing costs:
– The CCS Delivery Programme
– £125m CCS small scale R&D Programme
– CCS Cost-reduction taskforce group
• Establishing a regulatory framework
• Sharing knowledge and working with international partners
Purpose of the Government
CCS programme

Projects:
– Plan to support portfolio of commercial-scale projects
Scope:
– Point to point full chain demonstrators, and possibly also…
– Part chain (if prospect of full chain in future)/ Clusters/ Industrial emitters
Funding:
– £1bn to contribute to capital cost;
– Contract for difference to recoup investment and operational costs
Timing:
– Industry Day in Feb 2012
– Operational 2016-2020
