クリーンエネルギー閣僚会合のアジェンダは二酸化炭素回収貯留

AsiaNet 78955 （0957）

【バンクーバー2019年5月29日PR Newswire＝共同通信JBN】今週のクリーンエネルギー閣僚（CEM）会合では、国連が提唱する（注1）気候変動軽減のために緊急に必要かつ即時使える技術、二酸化炭素回収貯留（CCS／CCUS）が幅広く取り上げられて討議される。CEMはクリーンエネルギー技術促進の共通目標を持つ各国エネルギー相の国際会合で、得られた教訓と最良事例を共有し、世界的なクリーンエネルギー経済移行を推進するものである。

CEM期間中の5月29日（水）、バンクーバー・コンベンションセンターで予定される2つの主要イベントでは、リック・ペリー米エネルギー長官、ファティ・ビロル国際エネルギー機関（IEA）事務局長、ポーランドのエネルギー相でCOP24議長を務めるミハウ・クリティカ氏らがCCSを推奨する。

気候危機に取り組む世界の力を支援するため決定的な行動が必要であることは、国際的に認識されている。大規模なCCSは、温室効果ガス排出（GHGs）の大幅削減を可能にする行動である。International CCS Knowledge CentreはCCS最良事例の世界的オープンシェアを先導している。International CCS Knowledge Centreはコスト・リスク削減の高官パネル討議を主催し、CEMイノベーション展示のCCS専用パビリオンを開設、CEM直後の代表団にカナダ・サスカチワン州のSaskPower's Boundary Dam 3 CCS施設ツアーを提供することによって、世界が排出削減に真剣に取り組めばCCSも真剣に取り組んだ方がいいことを強調する。

立証された成功と利用しやすさにもかかわらず、CCSは高コストの認識、すなわち、投資不足に苦しんできた。第2世代技術（注2）に向けたイノベーションの出現で、回収CO2 1トン当たり67％減とコストが大幅圧縮され、投資機会を切り開いた。CEM期間中、CCSイベントはCCSプロジェクトの次の波の資金を引き付けるのに必要な主条件に焦点を当てる。

CEM指定のCCUSイニシアチブが「Accelerating CCUS Together - Financing a key piece of the clean energy puzzle」（ともにCCUSを加速―クリーンエネルギー・パズル主要ピースの資金調達）と題する閣僚会合のCCS討議を開始する。次いで、International CCS Knowledge CentreとClearPathが「Advancing CCUS - A Deep Dive on Cost & Risk Reductions」（CCUSを促進―コスト・リスク削減の挑戦）と題するパネル討議を共催し、障害と可能性について詳細に検討する。

▽二酸化炭素回収貯留（CCS／CCUS）とは

CCSは大規模稼働されると、大気に排出される前に大量のCO2を回収するクリーン技術である。回収プロセスは石炭や天然ガスのように、鉄鋼、セメント、エネルギーなどの産業への適用が可能で、排出量の大幅削減をサポートする。貯留ないし利用貯留は回収CO2の下流配置に関連する。大量のCO2は砂岩や枯渇油田など最深部の地質に恒久貯留される。詳しい情報はIEA地球温暖化ガス対策研究開発プログラム（IEAGHG）の「What is CCS」（https://ieaghg.org/ccs-resources/what-is-ccs ）を参照。

▽International CCS Knowledge Centre（Knowledge Centre）について

2016年以来、独立した委員会の指揮下で運営されているKnowledge Centreは、グローバルな温室効果ガス排出削減のため、大規模CCSへのグローバルな理解と展開を促進する責務を負い、BHPとSaskPowerによって設立された。Knowledge Centreは、完全統合型のBoundary Dam 3 CCS施設と、Shand CCS Feasibility Studyとして知られる包括的な第2世代CCS研究の両方からのベースラーニングを通じて、大規模CCSプロジェクトとCCS最適化を実施するノウハウを提供している。詳細は、https://ccsknowledge.com/ を参照。

Carbon Capture on the Clean Energy Agenda for World Ministers

PR78955

VANCOUVER, May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Touted by United Nations(1) as a necessary and ready-to-go technology in the

urgency to mitigate climate change, carbon capture and storage (CCS or CCUS)

will be widely profiled and discussed at this week's Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM).

CEM is a global gathering of international energy ministers with the common goal

to advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices,

and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy.

Logo - https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/893498/2479114_Logo.jpg

During CEM, CCS will be championed by the likes of Rick Perry, the US Secretary

of Energy; Fatih Birol the head of the International Energy Agency; Michal Krutyka

the Minister of Energy for Poland and President of COP24; among others

in two primary events on Wednesday May 29th at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Internationally there is recognition that definitive action is needed to

support the world's ability to tackle the climate crisis. Large-scale CCS is

action that facilitates deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).  

The International CCS Knowledge Centre spearheads the open sharing of CCS best

practices, globally. With the hosting of a high-level panel discussion on cost

and risk reduction, the offering of a pavilion dedicated to CCS at CEM's

Innovation Showcase, as well as a tour of SaskPower's Boundary Dam 3 CCS

Facility in Saskatchewan, Canada for delegates on the heels of CEM,

the International CCS Knowledge Centre is underscoring that if the world is serious

about emission reduction, then it better be serious about CCS.

Despite its proven success and accessibility, CCS has suffered a perception of

high cost and thus lack of investment. With the advent of innovation toward

second generation(2) in the technology, costs are shown to plummet by 67%, per

tonne of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) captured, opening opportunities for investment.

During CEM, CCS events will have a focus on the key conditions needed to

attract financing for the next wave of CCS projects.

CEM's designated CCUS Initiative kicks off the discussions on CCS with a

ministerial session, titled: Accelerating CCUS Together - Financing a key piece

of the clean energy puzzle. This will be followed by an in-depth exploration of

hurdles and possibilities in a panel discussion co-hosted by the International

CCS Knowledge Centre and ClearPath, titled: Advancing CCUS - A Deep Dive on

Cost & Risk Reductions.

Quote

"At the International CCS Knowledge Centre, we are proud to showcase CCS for

its critical role in reducing GHGs in a way that actively supports global

climate goals as well as helps ensure stable economies. CCS is proven, reliable

and now cheaper. It is ready and designed for the world."

-          Mike Monea, President & CEO, International CCS Knowledge Centre

What is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS / CCUS)?

CCS is a clean technology that when operated at large scale, captures

significant amounts of CO(2) emission before they are released into the

atmosphere. The capture process can be applied on industries such as steel,

cement, and energy, like, coal and natural gas to support vast cuts in emissions.

Storage or utilization and storage refer to downstream placement of the captured CO(2)

– for large quantities CO(2) is permanent stored in very deep geological formation,

such as sandstone or depleted oil fields. For more info, IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D

Programme (IEAGHG):  What is CCS (https://ieaghg.org/ccs-resources/what-is-ccs )?

About the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre): Operating

since 2016 under the direction of an independent board, Knowledge Centre was

established by BHP and SaskPower with a mandate to advance the global

understanding and deployment of large-scale CCS to reduce global GHG emissions.

The Knowledge Centre provides the know-how to implement large-scale CCS

projects as well as CCS optimization through the base learnings from both the

fully-integrated Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility and the comprehensive

second-generation CCS study, known as the Shand CCS Feasibility Study.
