Key Issues in Ensuring Access to Energy, Protecting Energy Security, and Enhancing Environmental Performance

1. CCS in Norway
www.norway.info

2. Climate Change is a global challenge
• Norway sees CCS as an imperative part of a broad mitigation portfolio
 to advance the technology we need to share experience and learn from each other
• Norway is participating in a range of regional and international initiatives
 World Bank CCS Trust Fund
 Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum
 The 4-Kingdom Initiative
 The South African CCS Centre
 The Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute
• Norway is also cooperating closely with the European Commission, IEA,
UNIDO, US Department of Energy etc.

3. The Nopuegian Gotepnmenr’q CCS-Policy
• has ambitious goals for widespread use of CCS
• all new gas fired power plants shall be
based on technology for CO2-capture
• cooperates closely with industrial
actors and provides public funding
The Energy Sector is vital in Norway
• 3rd largest gas exporter
• 7th largest oil exporter
• 6th largest hydropower producer
The petroleum sector has: Co2-Tax/ETS – USD 70 per tonn

4. Nopuav’q sniqse CO2 storage experience
• Since 1996 one million tonnes of CO2 has been stored in a geological formation
• Monitoring shows no leakage of CO2

5. Snøhvit LNG
• Since 2008 about
700 000 tonnes
CO2 a year has
been stored
• Piped 160 km back
to be stored 2600 m
below the seabed

6. CO2-Technology Centre Mongstad
• Groundbreaking First Demonstration Year
• Future partnership, third technology
• Develop, test and qualify CCS technologies
• Partners at the moment: Gassnova, Statoil ,
Shell and Sasol.
• Industrial cooperation: Partners cover costs
proportional to ownership share
• Two technologies tested: Amine and Chilled
Ammonia technology
• Two sources of flue gas – provides unique
flexibility
• Capture capacity: 100 000 tons CO2
