Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon Capture, Transport, & Storage
The report “America’s Strategy to Secure the Supply Chain for a Robust Clean Energy Transition” lays out the challenges and opportunities faced by the United States in the energy supply chain as well as the federal government plans to address these challenges and opportunities. It is accompanied by several issue-specific deep dive assessments, including this one, in response to Executive Order 14017 “America’s Supply Chains,” which directs the Secretary of Energy to submit a report on supply chains for the energy sector industrial base. The Executive Order is helping the federal government to build more secure and diverse U.S. supply chains.

What is Carbon Capture and Storage? (Climate Council)
Carbon capture and storage, or CCS, has been touted as a technology that could help lower Australia’s emissions. But does it stack up? Let’s cut through the spin and look at the facts.

Key points:
* Carbon capture and storage (otherwise known as CCS) is a licence to ramp up emissions.
* CCS will never be a ‘zero-emissions’ solution.
* CCS is eye-wateringly expensive.
* Chevron’s Gorgon Gas Plant in WA, which is the biggest attempt at a CCS project in the world, is a big, expensive failure.

What is Carbon Capture and Storage? (Geoscience Australia)
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS or CCS) is one of the technologies that can help to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere.

Technologies such as renewable energy, improved energy efficiency and fuel switching are aimed at preventing the creation of CO2 emissions. CCS complements these technologies by addressing emissions that currently cannot be avoided, such as CO2 emissions from industrial processes like steel or cement manufacturing. CCS also has the potential to directly remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it permanently deep underground.

Geoscience Australia has had an active role in CCS for some 20 years, primarily in the areas of geological storage, greenhouse gas monitoring and verification, provision of technical advice, and outreach and education. Much of our work is closely aligned with or funded through our parent department, the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR), and CO2CRC.

Carbon Capture Methods

Carbon Capture Methods

Carbon Capture Methods
Carbon capture is the process of capturing, then repurposing or storing carbon to mitigate carbon emissions. Many carbon capture methods have been or are being developed, from innovative technologies to land management practices and even ocean-based concepts.
However, it’s important to note that all carbon capture methods have different climate mitigation potential. They come with unique challenges, risks and costs that require careful analysis before investment.

6 Methods to Capture Carbon
Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have emitted more than 2,000 gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (A gigaton is one billion metric tons.)

This concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the air causes the climate change impacts we’re experiencing today, from forest fires to stifling heat waves and damaging sea level rise — and the global community is still emitting more each year. Unless we make serious changes, climate impacts will only continue to intensify.
10 Carbon Capture Methods
We need to understand carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCUS) better. To do so, this article looks at 10 methods and estimates how much CO2 each will take out of the atmosphere by 2050, and the cost per tonne. In their list the authors, Ella Adlen and Cameron Hepburn at the University of Oxford, cover the industrial (e.g. CO2-EOR, synfuels) to the biological (e.g. forestry, soil carbon sequestration). They say there are six that can be cost competitive and profitable soon, even now: CO2 chemicals, concrete building materials, CO2- EOR, forestry, soil carbon sequestration, biochar. Four are not (yet?!): CO2 fuels, microalgae, bioenergy with CCS (BECCS), enhanced weathering.

What is carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) and what role can it play in tackling climate change?
CCUS refers to a suite of technologies that enable the mitigation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large point sources such as power plants, refineries and other industrial facilities, or the removal of existing CO2 from the atmosphere.

The Economics of Green Hydrogen in Australia
Green hydrogen is expected to play a major role in our economy’s transition to net zero emissions by 2050. It is envisaged that Australia will become a major producer and exporter of green hydrogen-creating jobs and promoting economic growth. The 2022 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report also highlighted the role of green hydrogen as an alternative fuel to assist with halving global emissions by 2030.

Low Emissions Technology Australia
Low emission technologies are advanced technologies that can create clean, reliable, affordable and flexible power and reduce carbon emissions from ‘hard-to-abate’ industries such as manufacturing, heavy transport, cement and fertiliser production.

Underground Carbon Sequestration

What is the risk that CO2 stored underground after carbon capture will escape again?
Oil and gas have stayed trapped underground for millions of years, and so can carbon—if we carefully choose the right sites to store it.
Australia's carbon sequestration potential - CSIRO
Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and removing of carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere. These reports, prepared for the Climate Change Authority and Clean Energy Regulator, provide an assessment of Australia's carbon sequestration potential, and how technical innovation can lower the price of carbon sequestration to reduce barriers to uptake. Highlighting the opportunities capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide can play in helping Australia reach net zero emissions.
Australia's Carbon Sequestration Potential
Sequestration is a necessary part of any rapid, urgent decarbonisation, and the sequestration industry represents a huge opportunity for Australia if we get it right.

Underground gas storage (UGS) facilities provide a wealth of information, which can be used to better understand various aspects of CO2 storage in depleted reservoirs.
Carbon Sequestration - Buried Trouble
Protesters saying “no to CO2” are just one roadblock facing carbon sequestration — a strategy that could help prevent dangerous climate change. Richard Van Noorden investigates.

July 21, 2009 Berkeley Lab summer lecture: Climate change provides strong motivation to reduce CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide capture and storage involves the capture, compression, and transport of CO2 to geologically favorable areas, where its injected into porous rock more than one kilometer underground for permanent storage. Oldenburg, who heads Berkeley Labs Geologic Carbon Sequestration Program, will focus on the challenges, opportunities, and research needs of this innovative technology.

Soil Carbon Sequestration

Soil Carbon Sequestration

Soil carbon sequestration as a climate strategy: what do farmers think?
Countries and companies with net-zero emissions targets are considering carbon removal strategies to compensate for remaining greenhouse gas emissions. Soil carbon sequestration is one such carbon removal strategy, and policy and corporate interest is growing in figuring out how to motivate farmers to sequester more carbon.
Greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration associated with Integrated Crop–Livestock–Forestry (ICLF) systems
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the Agriculture, Forest, and Other Land Use sector account for 23% of net global anthropogenic emissions. However, effective conservation agriculture practices can sequester carbon (C) up to 1 m in soil depth and vegetation biomass. Integrated Crop–Livestock–Forestry (ICLF) systems attempt to ensure sustainable agricultural production by combining various agricultural, livestock, and forestry production systems.
