“…Therefore, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has been proposed as a short-term solution to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions [4]. CO 2 captured from power stations will be injected into geological reservoirs to reduce these emissions [5][6][7]. Unfortunately, CCS has been slow to develop and achieve commercial success due to a lack of business models.…”

Highly reliable and accurate Coriolis meters have been proposed for metering carbon dioxide in carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations to provide accurate flow measurements. However, there is a lack of calibration studies to quantify Coriolis measurements uncertainty for liquefied CO 2 . In this study, a first of its kind apparatus was designed, built and used to calibrate an industrial scale Coriolis meter using CO 2 in liquid phase . The standard uncertainty of the meter was evaluated within the temperature range 290 to 293 K and at pressure 6.5 MPa.

“…Many gaps and uncertainties exist behind this wealth of information: the studies largely reference data from just a few sources, which often have common origins (Anderson et al, 2007;Hansson, 2008;Page et al, 2009). According to Anderson et al (2007) and Page et al (2009), most CCS development is undertaken in the private sector and confidentiality agreements make much of the information on CCS unavailable to the public and to independent researchers. Anderson et al (2007) draw a general conclusion that economic data on CCS are insufficiently robust for decision-making.…”

“…The minimum energy penalty varies for different types of power plants and capture systems due to their different thermodynamic processes [33]. For example, post-combustion capture requires separating CO 2 from nitrogen, while precombustion capture requires separating CO 2 from hydrogen.…”

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly seen as a way for society to enjoy the benefits of fossil fuel energy sources while avoiding the climate disruption associated with fossil CO 2 emissions. A decision to deploy CCS technology at scale should be based on robust information on its overall costs and benefits. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a framework for holistic assessment of the energy and environmental footprint of a system, and can provide crucial information to policymakers, scientists, and engineers as they develop and deploy CCS systems. We identify seven key issues that should be considered to ensure that conclusions and recommendations from CCS LCA are robust: energy penalty, functional units, scale-up challenges, non-climate environmental impacts, uncertainty management, policy-making needs, and market effects. Several recent life-cycle studies have focused on detailed assessments of individual CCS technologies and applications. While such studies provide important data and information on technology performance, such case-specific data are inadequate to fully inform the decision making process. LCA should aim to describe the systemwide environmental implications of CCS deployment at scale, rather than a narrow analysis of technological performance of individual power plants.
