世界初のCCSが300万トンのマイルストーンに到達

AsiaNet 81823 （2361）

【レジャイナ（カナダ・サスカチワン州）2019年11月23日PRNewswire＝共同通信JBN】SaskPowerのBoundary Dam 3 CCS Facility（BD3）はこのほど、二酸化炭素（CO2）回収量が300万トンを超えた。これは、CO2回収・貯留（CCS）技術の初のムーバーとして、同社がCO2排出の削減と貯留で着実な成果を生み出し、発展させ、影響を及ぼし続けていることを示す。

BD3は世界初の栄誉を担い、この技術の実施だけでなく、習得と改良の最前線を担う意思を先導することも意味する。開設から5年内に300万トンのマイルストーンを打ち立て、回収プラントは継続的に信頼性を向上させ、日々のCO2回収率の着実な上昇も実現してきた。

International CCS Knowledge Centre（Knowledge Centre）はたびたび、CCSで習得した重要な教訓を共有する能力を追求している。BD3は、実行から教訓がもたらされる証拠である。Knowledge Centreは、その創設者であるSaskPowerとBHPにより、温室効果ガス排出（GHGs）を大きく軽減するCCSの重要な役割のため、BD3の豊富な専門的知識を世界に伝えるよう指示された。

大規模な炭素回収の先駆けとなるBD3は、Knowledge Centreの第2世代のCCS研究「the Shand CCS Feasibility Study」の基礎となった。この研究は、次世代プラントの資本コストがCO2回収1トン当たりで67％低くなり、回収率が負荷削減で最大97％に達し、プラントは再生可能電力供給と一体化することを明らかにした。Knowledge Centreは現在、これらの習得内容を産業排出源に広げている。

実際、世界はBD3での習得に基づく理解と実際の適用を求め続けている。気候変動枠組み条約第24回締約国会議（COP24）のミハウ・クリティカ議長は2019年5月、同プラントを視察した後、記者団に「この国（カナダ）とこの地方（サスカチワン）が国際舞台で指導的役割を果たしているため、私はここに来ている。あなた方は世界の指導者である。あなた方が国際的に提供するものは全て非常に重要である」と語った。

▽評価

「SaskPowerのBoundary Dam 3 CCS Facilityが2014年の運用開始以来、300万トンの二酸化炭素を回収したことを祝う。この重要なマイルストーンは、石炭から持続可能なクリーンエネルギーをもたらすCCS技術の実現可能性を明白に証明する。BD3は大規模CCS技術と発電の統合に向けて前進する道を示している。その経験から得られた教訓は、世界中への、そして発電以外の鉄鋼、セメントなどの工業部門へのCCS技術の適用の成功に極めて重要である」

World First in CCS Reaches 3Mt Milestone

PR81823

REGINA, Saskatchewan, Nov. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

SaskPower's Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility (BD3) recently surpassed three million

tonnes (3Mt) of captured carbon dioxide (CO2). This demonstrates that as a

first mover in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology it continues to

achieve, improve and make a steady impact in reducing and storing CO2 emissions.

BD3 has the honour of being a first in the world - which means that it has not

only pioneered the implementation of the technology but the willingness to be

on the forefront of learning and adaptation.  Within five years since it's

opening it has made the 3Mt milestone and the capture plant has also performed

with successive improved reliability and a steady increase to the daily CO2

capture rate.

The International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre) is often sought after

for its ability to share the substantial lessons learned in CCS. BD3 is a

testament to learning comes from doing. The Knowledge Centre was designated by

its founders, SaskPower and BHP, to share the rich expertise from BD3 with the

world - due to CCS's pivotal role to significantly mitigate greenhouse gas

emissions (GHGs).

Setting a precedent in large-scale carbon capture, BD3 was the foundation for

the Knowledge Centre's second-generation CCS study, the Shand CCS Feasibility

Study. This study revealed capital costs for the next plant to be 67% cheaper

per tonne of CO2 captured and a capture rate able to reach up to 97% at reduced

load while the plant is integrating with renewable electricity supplies. The

Knowledge Centre is now extending these learnings to industry source emissions.

Indeed, the world continues to seek understanding and the practical application

resulting from BD3's learnings. Following a tour of the plant in May 2019,

COP24 President, Michael Kurtyka told the media, "I am here because of the

leadership role this country (Canada) and this region (Saskatchewan) is playing

on the international scene. You are leaders in the world.  All that you bring

to the table internationally is extremely important."

Recognition

"We congratulate SaskPower's Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility on capturing 3 million

tonnes of carbon dioxide since commencing operations in 2014. This significant

milestone clearly demonstrates the viability of CCS technology in delivering

clean sustainable energy from coal.  BD3 is showing the path forward for the

integration of large-scale CCS technologies with power generation. The lessons

learned from its experience are vital for the successful application of CCS

technologies across the world and even beyond power generation into industrial

sectors such as steel and cement."
