1 WESTCARB Annual Meeting Overview Larry R. Myer University of California Office of the President California Institute for Energy and Environment

2 LM-04 CA-9 Timelines  Contract award from DOE to CEC in October 2003  Subcontracts in place, and work fully under way by January 2004  Phase I DOE deliverables due by September 30, 2005  Call for Phase II proposals expected early 2005

3 LM-04 CA-9 Meeting Objectives  Review progress in Phase I technical tasks –Approaches, accomplishments, plans, team interactions –Participant/stakeholder input is important  Define candidate Phase II pilot projects –Presentations on practically achievable pilots –Discussion of pilot project attributes, opportunities for collaboration and interactions

4 LM-04 CA-9 Advisory Committee Howard Herzog Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lynn Orr Stanford University; Director, Global Climate Energy Project Sally Benson Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Diane Wittenberg California Climate Registry Richard Debolt TransAlta Cathy Reheis-Boyd Western States Petroleum Association Doug Larson Western Governors Association BB Blevins California Environmental Protection Agency Scott Wellington Shell International Exploration and Production, Inc Alan Lucier National Council for Air and Stream Improvement

5 LM-04 CA-9 WESTCARB Tasks  Source-sink matching for geologic sequestration  Terrestrial sequestration baselines and supply curves  Technology deployment issues: risk, regulations, monitoring, public outreach  Selection of best options and field pilots

6 LM-04 CA-9 Point Source Data Has Been Assembled in GIS Layers  Characterized sources account for about 80% of total industrial and utility sector emissions  GIS layers are attributed with emissions and plant operating data  Data resides at Utah AGRC, part of national database

7 LM-04 CA-9 Sedimentary Basins Are Base Layer for Geologic Sink Studies  Other layers contain: oil and gas fields, quaternary faults, topography, population centers, parks and restricted access lands,mines, rivers, roads, etc.  Initial screening of basins is carried out  Data resides at Utah AGRC

8 LM-04 CA-9 Costs of Source-Sink Options Are Assessed using GIS-based System  Consider about five transport storage options for each source or sink  Regional screening done with many simplifying assumptions on capture, transportation and injection

9 LM-04 CA-9 Baselines and Supply Curves Quantify Major Terrestrial Options

10 LM-04 CA-9 Risk, Regulations, Monitoring, and Public Outreach Are being Addressed  A new spreadsheet-based method for assessing geologic site leakage risk has been developed  Current regulatory framework for geologic and terrestrial projects has been defined  Assessment of applicable monitoring methods is underway  Working with state, local and business leaders to raise awareness of sequestration  Decision analysis being used to support selection of options

11 LM-04 CA-9 Phase II Field Pilots Need To Be Defined  Pilots will be representative of best sequestration options, unique technologies and approaches, in region  At least one terrestrial and one geologic pilot will be proposed for a five year study  Pilots involve site-specific focus for –Testing technologies –Defining costs –Testing regulatory requirements –Validating monitoring methods –Assessing leakage risks –Gauging public acceptance

12 LM-04 CA-9 Phase I: Project Deliverables  Consolidated database of information on carbon sequestration, including sources, terrestrial and geologic sinks, and infrastructure  Compilation and assessment of regulations  Geologic risk assessment framework  Assessment of impacts on other emissions  Protocols for monitoring and verification  Materials for a public outreach program  Framework for comparison and selection of sequestration options, including economics (supply curves), capture technology, risk, etc.  Selection and plans for demonstration projects in Phase II
