Energy Transition Integrated Framework

Energy Transition Integrated Framework

About Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage (CSS)

Fossil fuels comprise around 80% of energy use globally and will continue to be a critical part of the energy mix in Energy Transition scenarios. Under these circumstances, carbon capture transportation and storage is critical to mitigate the impact of remaining fossil fuels in use over time. With IOGP guidelines and best practices being developed to support, Members can develop the right skills, competency, and industrial experience to deliver successful CCS developments, including transportation systems, supporting single projects or integrated networks.

What does good look like?

  • CCS is a proven, adopted and commercially viable technology within a portfolio of solutions to enable global decarbonization
  • Clear regulatory framework and business models for implementation of CCS exist, enabling a level playing field across the globe
  • Fit for purpose application of CCS in new oil and gas developments considering consolidation of point source capture, pre-combustion capture, proximity to transportation networks, and/or proven storage locations, etc.
  • Analysis specific to an asset, weighing the pros and cons of alternatives including electrification and alternative fuels.

This Report provides a guide for developing a Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) plan for geologic storage of carbon dioxide and summarizes the key factors and steps that should be considered.

IOGP 670. Risk and uncertainty assessments for geologic storage of CO2

Risk and uncertainty assessments for geologic storage of CO2

This Report provides guidance related to the processes, methodologies, and tools available to assess risks and uncertainties for the geologic storage of CO2 in subsurface formations.

IOGP 657. Seabed and overburden integrity monitoring for offshore CO2 storage

Seabed and overburden integrity monitoring for offshore CO2 storage

The Report provides a set of common industry good practices for demonstrating the ongoing integrity of an offshore CO2 storage project and to provide assurance to the operator(s), local regulatory bodies, or public stakeholders that the injected CO2 remains in the storage unit over the full project lifecycle.

IOGP 672. Overview of lifecycle assessment for carbon capture and storage projects

Overview of lifecycle assessment for carbon capture and storage projects

Building on a growing library of resources related to lifecycle assessment and emissions quantification for carbon capture and storage, this Report provides an overview of the processes, methodologies, and tools available to quantify emissions related to the development of carbon capture and storage projects.

IOGP 671. Techno-economic methodology to assess carbon capture technologies

Techno-economic methodology to assess carbon capture technologies

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in decarbonizing the energy sector. Current projections show a significant increase of CCS projects in development, with carbon capture remaining the most cost-intensive aspect of the CCS value chain. Further development and innovation in this field can make a substantial impact. As more and more industries develop their own decarbonization strategies, there is a corresponding increase in CCS technologies at varying levels of maturity. This Report presents a techno-economic assessment methodology to determine the capital and operating expenditures of each technology.

IOGP 665. Design guidance for subsea carbon capture and storage systems

Design guidance for subsea carbon capture and storage systems

This Report provides guidance to designers and developers of carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems with all, or portions, of the system located underwater. Subsea CCS projects are new and no standards or clear regulations for their design exist. This Report is intended to help designers evaluate key decisions and mitigate risks unique to a subsea CCS system. Additionally, the document refers to other documents that will aid in specification and design of a subsea CCS system. Unique aspects of subsea CCS systems are highlighted and recommendations or options to address design decisions are offered.
