O papel da pesquisa e desenvolvimento para o monitoramento das instalações de armazenamento de dióxido de carbono e sua relevância no contexto de ESG

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the aspects in which research and development can interfere in the execution of carbon dioxide storage activities (CCS) in a geological structure under a legal and regulatory framework that allows operators of storage facilities to obtain the best financial and safety, from the perspective of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), through regulatory instruments, technologies and tools, and risk management -mainly through the Monitoring Plan, to contribute to the advancement of implementation in an environment of the energy transition to a low carbon economy and use of CCS technology and better acceptance by stakeholders, especially investors and the general public. Through bibliographic and documentary research and ex-post-facto research, concepts, history, and use of R&D, CCS, and ESG and their correlations were addressed, as well as the overview of technologies and tools currently used in the activity of monitoring facilities of CO2 storage. The relevance of R&D for risk management involving such activity and possible consequences from an operational and ESG perspective was explored, in addition to the construction of paths that show the relevance of the monitoring stage as well as its contributions to the regulatory, process safety, and aspects related to the responsibilities of the parties. Through ex-post-facto research, it was possible to address two process accidents involving the three parts worked in this dissertation and to analyze the role that R&D and monitoring had in these cases, associating them with impacts -positive and negative -from the perspective of ESG. In addition, it presented challenges to the progress of R&D in the industry and the relevance in the current world context of ESG. Based on the theoretical framework, the development of this work allows us to conclude that R&D plays a leading and fundamental role in the CCS activity, especially in the monitoring phase of CO2 storage facilities, directly impacting all parameters that encompass the ESG, allowing full compliance with applicable regulations. Thus, the hypothesis investigated throughout the dissertation was confirmed, showing that advances in research and knowledge are relevant to the CO2 storage activity and that several benefits are arising from this practice in the current context, especially for operating companies and ESG. The work also allowed the proposition of several actions to be developed by operating companies, regular bodies, academia, and the construction of essential materials through the Appendices.

“…Conforme Nunes (2021) e Richardson (2012), a influência de Emílio, de Rousseau (1762), é expressiva na construção de sua argumentação, e Original Stories é uma tentativa de tornar didático o pensamento contido na obra. Ambas as obras defendem o papel ativo do tutor e o uso de diálogos dirigidos para resolução de problemas, além de compreenderem a infância como chave para implementar hábitos a serem praticados na vida adulta.…”
