CO2-transport og -lagring direkte fra skib

CTS (CO2 Transport and Storage directly from a ship: flexible and cost-effective solutions for European offshore storage) aims at providing a long-term solution for offshore CO2 storage in Denmark, using existing depleted hydrocarbon (HC) fields in the Danish North Sea (DNS) as well assaline aquifers in both deep and shallow waters. Our concept can boost CO2 storage in Denmark by unlocking storage potential in depleted chalk fields that may not keep their surface facilities after HC production ends. We evaluate the viability of injecting CO2 from a ship into depleted fields such as Roar, Gorm, and Kraka, providing +100 MtCO2 additional storage capacity, and we compare that to the capacity of saline aquifers in the DNS identified by GEUS. We also propose activities to demonstrate the re-use of existing wells for intermittent injection of CO2 in depleted HC reservoirs. The activities will be carried out by DTU and WellPerform together with CTS partners over the next two years, with access to decades of subsurface data and expert knowledge kindly provided by DUC operator TotalEnergies.

Project description

The main objective of CTS is to demonstrate the techno-economic applicability of direct CO2 injection from ship into offshore geological storage sites (or ‘stores’), to unlock additional CCS potential by increasing flexibility and versatility of the CCS value chain, reducing costs, and demonstrating storage potential in the four defined regions: North Sea, Black Sea, Baltic Sea and Atlantic coast of Portugal. The project will contribute to accelerating the development of CCS within the European community and enable the industry to reach the targets for CCS that have been presented by the EU commission on March 16th, as part of the Net-Zero Industry Act. Once completed, the project is expected to have developed solid techno-economic scenarios, engaged different capture, transport, and storage stakeholders in the regions of interest and prepared a foundation for the CCS value chain including direct injection from ship as a valid technical and economic alternative for the targeted regions, but also with a clear view of the steps necessary towards making the technology applicable globally.
