1. 22 nd January 2008 UK-China Near Zero Emissions Coal Initiative Dr Matthew Webb Department for Environment Food And Rural Affairs, UK International Workshop on Carbon Capture and Storage in the Power Sector, R&D Priorities for India Ashok Hotel, New Delhi, 22-23 January 00 MONTH 2004

2. AUGUST 07 UK recognises the potential of CCS to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuelled power generation; The global challenge is to demonstrate CCS at commercial scale, not only in Europe, but also in developing countries whose economic development and energy security will be heavily dependent on coal; Agreements on technology transfer and the deployment of low carbon technologies such as CCS are likely to feature strongly in any global post-2012 settlement; Some Opening Remarks

3. AUGUST 07 World Energy Outlook 2007 World energy demand could be well over 50% higher than today. Global energy-related emissions of carbon dioxide could rise from 27Gt in 2005 to 42Gt in 2030 – and increase of 57%. Confirmed China and India as the emerging giants of the world economy and international energy markets. Govt action must focus in curbing the rapid growth in CO2 emissions from coal fired power stations. ‘CCS is one of the most promising routes for mitigating emissions in the longer term and could reconcile continued coal burning with the need to cut emissions in the longer term - if the technology can be demonstrated on a large scale and if adequate incentives are put in place’.

Study Tour to Europe (June 2008). Sponsored attendance of Chinese delegates at key CCS schools and events e.g. IEA GHG CCS summer School and GHGT9 in Washington (November 2008). Sponsored exchange of students and industrial experts to UK. Development of Chinese reference material and course training material. Technical and non-technical journals and articles. WP1 Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Building

10. AUGUST 07 Future energy demand projections for China to 2050. Refinement of National scenario (Markal) model to include CCS technology deployment. Assessment of energy intensive sectors and of existing and advanced technologies. Assessment of role of potential role of CCS in cutting carbon emissions. WP2 Future Energy Technology Perspectives

11. AUGUST 07 Common understanding of potential applications of a range of capture technologies in the power generation sector in China. To locate techno-economic characteristics of CCS technologies for application in China. To identify the role of each option (short to long term). To recommend the preferable case for demonstration. Undertaking 8 case studies including Oxyfuel, Post Combustion and Pre- Combustion capture for new build (and also capture ready). Transportation and separation technologies. WP3 Case Studies for Carbon Capture

12. AUGUST 07 Evaluating storage potential and undertaking first stage site characterisation for site selection. Future potential at regional basin level and at site specific level for CO2 storage through enhanced oil recovery, enhanced coal bed methane and storage in saline aquifers. Basins include Songliao (Jilin oilfield and aquifers), Subei (Jiangsu oilfield) and Quinshi (ECBM). GIS model to be compiled of select regions within Songliao basin. WP4 Carbon Dioxide Storage Potential

13. AUGUST 07 Integration of technical reports from other work packages to produce summary report. Technology roadmapping for short term activities leading to demonstration and long term activities for wider deployment. Additional Social Economic Impacts modelling undertaken. Further dialogue and discussion on specific factors and barriers impeding the application of CCS technology in China. WP5 Policy Assessment and Roadmap

14. AUGUST 07 UK’s Success Criteria for NZEC? To implement a truly collaborative project between Chinese and UK experts, which; Builds capacity in China to determine the best options for carbon dioxide capture, transport and geological storage, and; Makes recommendations for the development and demonstration of CCS technology in China and considers the viability of CCS deployment in the future.
