“…If this is the case, the configuration of the national transport and storage system might look quite different than a set of shortest pathways from CO 2 sources to a relatively homogenous group of saline aquifers such as that depicted by Dooley et al (2004). In fact, with the incorporation of more and better data, our storage-based maps and MACCs would have greater value as a component of the type of comprehensive transport modeling conducted by Dooley et al (2004). Integrated assessments of the entire CCS system will be more accurate when the vast heterogeneity in geosequestration potential in saline aquifers is taken into account.…”

“…Other studies give no hint that spatial or geological variability is even considered. Supply curves (representing integrated costs of storage and transport, compiled by a different method than ours) for North America and China by Dooley et al (2004) and Dahowski et al (2009), respectively, rely on a method for characterizing cost in all saline aquifers based on a single value for injection rate (computing injection cost only) and never disentangle the cost of storage in saline aquifers from transport except for two examples (with the same cost of storage) shown graphically in a subsequent report (Dooley et al, 2008).…”

“…However due to lack of data and/or methods for adequately incorporating heterogeneity in reservoir quality, existing MACCs are based on an average or even single estimate of storage capacity and cost per aquifer (Middleton and Bielicki, 2009;Wildenborg et al, 2004); and in some cases the constant values are applied to all the aquifers evaluated (Dahowski et al, 2009;Dooley et al, 2004). Thus cost variations in the MACCs are predominantly the result of varying transport distances between the CO 2 point sources and saline aquifers, and do not reflect potential additional variability due to storage.…”

“…Developers of the MACCs acknowledge that the geologic heterogeneity of saline aquifers could lead to storage cost estimates that range over several orders of magnitude (Dooley et al, 2004). However due to lack of data and/or methods for adequately incorporating heterogeneity in reservoir quality, existing MACCs are based on an average or even single estimate of storage capacity and cost per aquifer (Middleton and Bielicki, 2009;Wildenborg et al, 2004); and in some cases the constant values are applied to all the aquifers evaluated (Dahowski et al, 2009;Dooley et al, 2004).…”

“…The total cost of transport and storage is then computed weighted by each firm's emissions. Integrated assessments have produced marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) for CO 2 transport and storage from major point sources in North America (Dooley et al, 2004), Europe (Wildenborg et al, 2004), and China (Dahowski et al, 2009). The curves are built by adding the potential abatement of emissions from each point source to the abatement potential of the other sources in order of increasing cost of transport and storage per tonne of CO 2 .…”

The impact of geologic variability on capacity and cost estimates for storing CO2 in deep-saline aquifers

While numerous studies find that deep-saline sandstone aquifers in the United States could store many decades worth of the nation's current annual CO 2 emissions, the likely cost of this storage (i.e. the cost of storage only and not capture and transport costs) has been harder to constrain. We use publicly available data of key reservoir properties to produce geo-referenced rasters of estimated storage capacity and cost for regions within 15 deep-saline sandstone aquifers in the United States. The rasters reveal the reservoir quality of these aquifers to be so variable that the cost estimates for storage span three orders of magnitude and average > $100/tonne CO 2 . However, when the cost and corresponding capacity estimates in the rasters are assembled into a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC), we find that~75% of the estimated storage capacity could be available for b $2/tonne. Furthermore,~80% of the total estimated storage capacity in the rasters is concentrated within just two of the aquifers-the Frio Formation along the Texas Gulf Coast, and the Mt. Simon Formation in the Michigan Basin, which together make up only~20% of the areas analyzed. While our assessment is not comprehensive, the results suggest there should be an abundance of low-cost storage for CO 2 in deep-saline aquifers, but a majority of this storage is likely to be concentrated within specific regions of a smaller number of these aquifers.

Pipeline transport is the major means for large-scale and long-distance CO 2 transport in a CO 2 capture and sequestration (CCS) project. But optimal design of the pipeline network remains a challenging problem, especially when considering allocation of intermediate sites, like pump stations, and selection of pipeline routes. A superstructure-based mixed-integer programming approach for optimal design of the pipeline network, targeting on minimizing the overall cost in a CCS project is presented. A decomposition algorithm to solve the computational difficulty caused by the large size and nonlinear nature of a real-life design problem is also presented. To illustrate the capability of our models. A real-life case study in North China, with 45 emissions sources and four storage sinks, is provided. The result shows that our model and decomposition algorithm is a practical and cost-effective method for pipeline networks design.

Achieving net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will require the cessation of fossil fuel emissions into the atmosphere, yet the need for ‘fuel’ and energy storage will remain. One solution could be a carbon‐based fuel system where CO2 of biogenic origin is converted to fuels using hydrogen generated by electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources. Methane has value as an initial target given its prevalence in biogas, use in home heating and in electricity generation. Sources of CO2 in Eastern Canada are dominated by the iron and steel, cement, and aluminium industries, all of which have biogenic fuel options. Collecting all of the potentially biogenic CO2 would displace 75% of current natural gas use and require a 50% increase in generating capacity. Initial efforts could site a carbon capture, utilization, and storage facility near Montreal, QC, with other large‐scale facilities near Hamilton, ON, and Lac St‐Jean, QC. These facilities would be grid connected and expected to operate ~6200 h annually. The most high‐frequency electrolysis events would be 10 h of run time and 2 h of idle time. These periods would peak during the equinox months and be at a minimum during the winter solstice. These operational assumptions will all be subject to the increased variability caused by anthropogenic climate change and increased renewable generation on the grid. A closed‐loop carbon‐based fuel system would require an equivalent price of $250 per tonne CO2.
