“…The CO 2 injection phase must be monitored at all stages, from its planning to completion, and it is important to study and predict the injected gas and fluids from rock formation's behavior, as well as the interaction among those. Strict characterization is required to select appropriate storage locations with adequate capacity, injectivity and stored volume [7,19,20].…”

“…Although, according to Beck et al (2011) [19], CCS provides 20% of the total reductions in CO 2 emissions by 2050 and therefore will require an ambitious growth path for this technology globally, risks of potential carbon leakage need to be considered and prevented by law, as well as ensuring the permanence and safety of CO 2 storage [25].…”

Global energy demand is still increasing based on consumption of fossil fuels, and its consequences such as greenhouse gases emissions (for instance CO 2 emissions) are concerns for humanity due to the global warming. In the context, climate changes issues are clearly one of the big issues for our future. Thus, measures for mitigating its effects are treated, discussed, and analyzed to help us to reduce those problems. In this regards, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology may represent a strategic alternative for CO 2 abatement. Using bibliographic review methodology; including law analysis as well as the development of a logical explanation approach and deductive reasoning, in this paper, we analyzed the climate change mitigation strategy of CCS, and the perspectives of implementing this technology in Brazil, as well as we discussed the Civil Liability regarding CCS, focusing on the Brazilian environmental law. Our results show that the lack of a legal and regulatory framework of CCS activities represents the main barrier to its national development.

“…In the next few decades, CCS in Brazil is most likely to be applied in the petroleum industry rather than in the power sector. It is expected, however, that in the near future, the country's expanding economy will demand a larger share of carbon‐intensive power‐generation facilities such as coal and gas‐fired power plants (currently less than 3% of the energy grid), and notably the production of pre‐salt reservoirs with large quantities of CO 2 .…”

“…Mirroring a worldwide trend, Brazil's major oil company PETROBRAS has been interested since the early stages of CCS R&D, taking advantage of its know‐how in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, capture and separation of refining products (including CO 2 ), and acquisition of geological data. The company has included GHG emission reduction and CCS in its strategic plans for the coming decades, aiming to develop and apply CO 2 separation technologies and geological storage as an opportunity to mitigate climate change and minimize the carbon footprint in its operations . An important motivator for the development of new technologies such as CCS is the current Brazilian legislation, which requires that oil and gas companies invest 0.5% of their revenue from major producing fields in R&D in national institutions.…”

“…From the industry side, Brazil has been developing pilot‐ and demonstration‐scale projects for capture technologies, monitoring technologies, and onshore and offshore CO 2 storage. A great part of this investment has been carried out through the efforts of Brazilian largest oil company PETROBRAS, who is also responsible for funding most of the country's research in CCS, both internally and through the academia …”

Carbon capture and geological storage in Brazil: an overview

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Brazil is recognized for possessing a low carbon‐intensive energy matrix, with most of its power being generated from hydroelectricity. Its greenhouse gas emissions profile is dominated by deforestation and land‐use change. Despite this characteristic, the country has been committed to the development of carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) research since this technology started to be recognized as a relevant solution for greenhouse gas emission reductions. This development has gained attention recently owing to the beginning of the production of pre‐salt reservoirs, which may contain significant amounts of CO2 in the produced fluids. The work has been carried out mostly through the efforts of the academia and industrial enterprises. This paper presents a summary and a brief description of the recent activities being carried out by these sectors, aiming to develop and promote CCS in Brazil.

With the demand to reduce the release of CO2‐rich gases into the atmosphere, the offshore industry is turning to systems for gas capture and storage. The construction of a cave for that purpose is planned in the salt layer of the Santos Basin, Brazil; however, numerous factors bring uncertainties to the project. We propose combining systems engineering methods and digital twin technology to enable system concept and execution aiming at value robustness. The system is modeled in mission, subsystems, components, and design attributes. System utilities and costs are estimated for a range of viable solutions based on the relevance of each attribute to the stakeholders. The alternatives are evaluated using the Epoch‐Era Analysis framework for analyzing the system's performance over time in changing future scenarios. The system model also outlines a digital twin concept and identifies how it might support salt cave design and operations. Finally, the potential of tuning and improving system evaluation based on gathered data is examined, and measures toward further digital twin development are recommended.
