A Global but Regionally Disaggregated Accounting of CO2 Storage Capacity: Data and Assumptions for Compiling Regional CO2 Storage Capacity Supply Curves for Incorporation within ObjECTS->MiniCAM

Abstract

This technical working paper lays out the assumptions and data sources used to calculate a regionally disaggregated assessment of the carbon dioxide (CO2) storage capacity of various geologic reservoirs. We present estimates of CO2 storage capacity in the following classes of reservoirs: depleted oil plays, coal beds, depleted gas basins, deep saline formations, and offshore deep saline formations. CO2 storage capacity for each of these classes of candidate geologic reservoirs were estimated by consulting the technical literature or through our own technical judgment for the following regions of the

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: how carbon storage and biomass resources potentials can impact the development of the BECCS

“…The potential for CCS deployment is undoubtedly related to the carbon storage potential, and the supposed high level of this potential in most long-term models does not really appear as a constraint for the development of this decarbonization solution. Since the latter are not always in the same level in the literature [18,20] or institutional references (US DOE & NETL [21], Ecofys, NACSA [22], ZEP, etc. ), in this context, a state of the art of regional carbon storage potentials was achieved in order to propose new datasets in TIAM-FR and to analyze the sensitivity of CCS investments to different levels of potential.…”
