This year was busy for NCCCS. In March Charles Hendry, then Minster of State for Energy, visited NCCCS and met the NCCCS staff and PhD students as well as senior members of the University and BGS. The minister was given a tour of the state–of–the–art CCS research facilities at NCCCS and spoke to PhD students and researchers about their experimental work. The minister was keen to encourage stronger links between academic communities and industry to ensure cost–competitive deployment of CCS.

Two very well–attended workshops were held; one on Environmental Effects of CO2 leakage and one on public engagement with CCS.

NCCCS PhDs continue to go from strength to strength.

It has been an exciting year for CCS in the UK, with the announcement of the DECC CCS roadmap and commercialisation programme, which at the time of writing (October 2012) is close to being announced. It has also been an exciting year for CCS research in the UK with the establishment of the RCUK funded UKCCS Research Centre, of which both BGS and The University of Nottingham are founding and coordinating partners. It is an exciting time for CCS research development and there is clear potential for BGS and Nottingham to play a key role.

The past year has also been a time of change for NCCCS with the departure of Mercedes Maroto–Valer to take up a new position at Heriot–Watt University. I was appointed Professor in Effi cient Fossil Energy Technology at The University of Nottingham in September 2012 with which came the responsibility to work to continue to develop the CCS collaboration with BGS. I also took over Directorship of NCCCS from Mike Stephenson, who now becomes Deputy Director. This is an exciting opportunity and it is a great pleasure to work to develop the NCCCS partnership to deliver research excellence.

NCCCS organised and hosted a CCS public engagement meeting: Public Engagement with CCS: A Different Perspective on Monday 21st May. The meeting was attended by more than 40 people and the aim was to set up a dialogue with business, industry and academics in order to develop an appreciation of existing public opinion about CCS, and current engagement and communication practices. The view of the participants was that the NCCCS linguistic–psychological approach to understanding of the public image of CCS was unique.

Extract from ‘Factors that infl uence public opinion of CCS’ by Christopher Jones* and Claire Lawrence†:*Department of Psychology, University of Sheffi eld† School of Psychology, The University of Nottingham

What do we know about public opinion? Awareness of CCS and its applications is typically low and general attitudes are typically characterized by ambivalence as people trade of the benefi ts in terms of mitigating climate change with subjective perceived risks (e.g., fears of leakage or explosion leading to threats to human health). For a list of commonly perceived benefi ts and risks, see Table 1. This ambivalence is often viewed negatively by proponents of CCS, stemming perhaps from a fear that bad press or miscommunication could lead attitudes to crystallize in a negative direction. Arguably, however, this ambivalence should be viewed positively, as an opportunity to inform and improve opinion while it is still forming.

CGS Geoschool

Two NCCCS researchers, Gemma Purser and Chijioke Nwankwor, attended the CGS Europe spring school on the geological storage of CO2 from the 12th–18th of March. This was sponsored by Statoil, Zero Emission Platform (ZEP) and IEA–GHG and involved the participation of 8 teachers and 19 pupils from across Europe. The course took place at Leszcze in central Poland and also featured a visit to the Bełchatów CO2 injection test site.

NCCCS fi eld trip

In April, NCCCS staff and students visited some localities in northern England to look at sandstone units similar to those that occur under the North Sea which are likely to be targets to store CO2. The trip also featured a visit to Doosan’s Oxyfuel CO2 capture plant at Renfrew, near Glasgow.

NCCCS teamed up with CCS–TLM to deliver a CCS course in a London hotel in January

This involved a ‘fl ow–through’ experiment conducted at BGS at reservoir temperature and pressure  (200 bar 140°C) , using samples of Sherwood Sandstone — a likely storage lithology — and synthetic fl uids. As well as the normal fl uid and mineralogical observations the solid core used was characterised both pre and post reaction using the X–Ray Computed Tomography (XRCT) facilities at The University of Nottingham.

Right: The lower image shows the sandstone core sample after three months of reservoir pressure injection of saline saturated CO2 fl uid. The image shows distinctly enlarged pores and a more distinct fabric suggesting that some mineral dissolution has taken place.

Once injected deep underground, waste CO2 will be ‘physically trapped’ in a porous rock such as a sandstone by an overlying, low permeability caprock. The CO2 will then rapidly begin to dissolve into the porewater in the sandstone, a process known as ‘solubility trapping’. This is the fi rst chemical trapping mechanism, and leads on to longer–term mechanisms such as ‘mineral trapping’.

Mechanisms that maximise solubility trapping of CO2 are very important, and one of these is the formation of plumes of slightly denser CO2–rich water that descend from the CO2–water interface below an underground CO2 store. These plumes act to enhance CO2–water mixing and CO2 dissolution, and also help transport the CO2 even deeper underground.

At NCCCS we are mathematically modelling CO2 dissolution but also setting up CO2 dissolution experiments in the lab. The image to the right shows one of these experiments.

Right: This enhanced image (at 255 seconds after the start of the experiment) shows a Hele–Shaw cell with CO2 gas at the very top and water fi lling most of the cell (the cell consists of two closely–spaced sheets of glass, much like a thin double–glazing unit). As the CO2 dissolves into the water, instabilities develop at the contact, and many small plumes develop (coloured yellow). Water with CO2 in it is slightly denser than CO2–poor water so it begins to descend, being replaced by rising CO2–poor water. CO2 then dissolves into this CO2 –poor water, and the cycle continues to produce ever larger plumes. If there is excess water present, then this process continues until all the CO2 is dissolved. If excess CO2 is present, then the process continues until the water becomes saturated with CO2.

Sandstone formations in the Northern North Sea with the potential to store CO2 directly overlie each other and are often in hydraulic connection. Many are dynamically connected. Responses to CO2 injection in one formation might be seen in connected formations, for example migration of CO2, pressure rises and formation brine movement. In pressure, studies have shown that the footprint extends much further than the extent of the

CO2 plume. This pressure fi eld could interact with other subsurface operations such as adjacent storage sites or hydrocarbon fi eld operations. NCCCS with its collaborator The Crown Estate is looking at methods of managing pore space to maximise benefi t.

Mineralogy and geochemistry of ultramafi c rocks for mineral CO2 sequestrationAlicja Lacinska

In July 2012 Alicja and her supervisor Mike Styles undertook fi eld work on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, and collected a range of vein serpentinite samples. These were mineralogically and geochemically characterised at the British Geological Survey Laboratories. An experimental study is scheduled for December 2012. Its main aim will be to assess the relationship between leaching effi ciency of Mg and structural and chemical variation of different polymorphs and polytypes of serpentine minerals.

Future work will involve fi eld and laboratory investigations of serpentinites from Italian ultramafi c rocks from Elba, the Modena Ophiolite, Val Sissone and Balangero. As part of her research programme Alicja will also be examining carbonation processes and their reaction products.

CCS: Factors infl uencing public attitudes

Andrey Barsky

A series of studies have been carried out to measure participants’ attitudes towards CCS depending on certain variables such as cost, effectiveness, and timeframe. Another study tests the effect of different communication strategies and how obvious are these effects. A third study has also been piloted on attitude–forming processes over time when learning about CCS: pilot results seem to suggest that the primary factor leading to rejection of CCS is the uncertainty of its effects rather than any particular risk or cost, though this needs to be verifi ed in a full–scale study which will be carried out this year.

The effects of gas stream impurities and reservoir mineralogy on long term geological storage of carbon dioxide

Chijioke Nwankwor

During the year experiments using analogues for SO2 and H2S impurities in the CO2 have been performed. All experiments were conducted over 3–6 months using a 0.5 M NaCl solution at 70°C and 200 bar pressure, conditions typical of many potential CO2 geologic storage sites. All the laboratory batch experiments were completed in early September. Fluid samples collected from the experiments were analysed using three different techniques; inductively coupled plasma–mass spectroscopy (ICP–MS) for cations present, titration for bicarbonate concentrations and pH measurements. Mineralogical characterisation samples of the reacted rock materials were analysed both before and after reaction using a mineral liberation analyser (MLA).

Dissolution processes at the CO2/brine interface

Tom Ward

CO2 is dissolved into formation water, resulting in a small density increase in the solution. This denser solution begins to sink to the bottom of the structure and mix with the water. Whilst mixing, reactions between the CO2 and minerals occur, reducing the concentration of CO2 in the solution and decreasing the density of the solution. This forces the solution to rise back to the top of the structure.The opposing effects these processes have on the density of the solution result in convective currents, which form “fi ngers” of CO2. The aim of this project is to model the fi ngering process in order to maximise the amount of CO2 that can be stored via mineral trapping.
