• CCS expected to cut 25 % of emissions • Contribution from 2030
TCM is the world’s largest
facility for testing and
improving CO2 capture.
Knowledge gained will prepare
the ground for CO2 capture
initiatives to combat climate
change.
Building the
Biggest!
TCM – Highlights

• State and Statoil agreed to build test centre
• Agreement to start planning and engineering
• Planning completed and preparatory work starting
• Parliament approved project
• TCM Partnership established
• Sasol joined partnership
• Plant start-up early 2012
• Initial five year test period
• Test, verify and demonstrate
CO2 capture technology owned
and marketed by vendors
• Reduce cost, technical,
environmental and financial
risks
• Encourage the development of
market for CO2 capture
technology
• Aim at international deployment

Mobile Test Unit
Test concept
• Determine emissions and discharges from the test facilities
• Verify safe and stable continuous operation
• Determine design limits
• Minimise energy demand
• Identify and assess critical equipment
• Develop control philosophy and train advanced control system
• Develop and validate modelling tools
• Measure and compare overall test results against reference cases
• Assess cost efficiencies
• Establish cost models
