Meeting the Presidents Energy GoalsThis country needs an all-out,all-of-the-above strategy that develops everyavailable source of American energy. A strategy thats cleaner, cheaper, and full ofnew jobs. President Barack Obama State of the Union AddressJanuary 24, 2012 Photo courtesy of the White House, Pete Souza 9. Fossil Energys Role in All-of-the-AboveStrategy Fossil Energy represents a key component of thisstrategy To maintain the relevancy of fossil energy, specificallycoal, in future energy scenarios, carbon capture andstorage must be technically viable and costcompetitive Shale gas and unconventional gas and oil must be safeand environmentally friendly and utilized in the mostefficient manner possible Future sources of fossil energy, including natural gashydrates represent potential options to secure ourenergy future and continue our movement towardenergy security 10.

Utilization Could be a Key Driver For CCS CCS is an essential part of the long-term global solution to climate change, but itrequires an accelerated effort CCS has no market driver to catalyze an industry Regulations that place a value on CO2 emissions are unlikely anytime soon First-generation technologies are too costly: >$100 / tonne CO2 captured and hCOE by >80 percent Very challenging to incentivize CCS demos and jumpstart CCS industry U.S. Department of Energy / Office of Fossil Energy research will greatly reduce CCScost, but incentives are required for deployment Absent CO2 emission value, cost per tonne CO2 will approach levels that catalyze EOR Focusing more closely on EOR will drive technology development tocommercialization EOR is a high-value, high-volume use of CO2 EOR could potentially utilize CO2 from 60 GW of power plants EOR will catalyze CCS technologies while providing economic drivers for commercial projects 24.

CCUS BENEFITS Enables CCS technology improvement and costreduction. Improves business case for demonstration and earlymover projects through CO2 revenue. Helps gain public and policymaker acceptance. Builds and sustains a skilled CCS workforce. Supports CO2 transportation network developmentwhere EOR is an option. 38. CCUS CHALLENGES CO2-EOR is geographically and capacity limited. CO2 revenue alone will not bridge gap for high capturecost scenarios. Gaps exists between geologic storage permitting andCO2-EOR regimes. 39.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DECISION MAKERS Climate change legislation must not be delayed. In order to achieve emission reductions in the mostefficient and effective way, CCS must not bedisadvantaged. Funding for CCS demonstration projects should beaccelerated and incentives increased. Expertise and learning must be shared.42 43. THE GLOBAL STATUS OF CCS: 2012 Released 10 October 2012.

NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRYROUNDTABLELessons Learned from Early CCS/CCUS Demonstration andDeployment Efforts in North America and Paths Forward45 46. Discussion Topics What are the top two lessons you learned from the early deployment efforts in CCS/CCUS that youcan take forward to subsequent projects? How has the landscape for CCS/CCUS in North America changed since the start of the earlydemonstrations? Given the current landscape, how would you approach a CCS/CCUS projectdevelopment todayif at all? What in your view have been and continue to be the principal barriers impeding industryinvestment in and deployment of CCS/CCUS along the value chain? How do you see the availability of low cost natural gas in North America impacting CCS andCCUS, especially for CO2-EOR projects? What do you see going forward would be needed for making the CCS/CCUS business case in NorthAmerica? During this past year some in the U.S. Congress have suggested using a carbon tax as mechanismfor putting a price on carbon and reducing CO2 emissions. Others in the U.S. Congress have beenvery opposed to a carbon tax but have been supportive of a carbon cap and trade approach. Whatare your thoughts on this subject? 47. LEGAL AND REGULATORYROUNDTABLE:Using Legal and Regulatory Frameworks to Advance CCUSTechnology Development and Deployment in North America 47 48. Discussion Topics It has been suggested that for CO2-EOR toqualify as storage, it should be subject toregulatory standards for MMV and long-termstorage equivalent to those applicable toother types of CO2 storage. Do you agree ordisagree, and why? If you agree, how would you define equivalent? If you disagree, what might be an appropriateapproach for CO2-EOR? 49. Discussion Topics CO2-EOR operations may differ from a dedicatedsource to sink storage model in a number of waysincluding: Common pipelines where co-mingled streams of A-CO2 and N-CO2 lose their identity CO2 recycling and reuse The potential use of geologic reservoirs as buffers forEOR demand.How can a legal and regulatory frameworkaccommodate these differences? 50. Discussion Topics What additional legal and regulatory policiesand/or incentives can be pursued to helpmore demonstration and early mover projectsget underway in the near-term and ultimatelylead to large scale CCS deployment? 51. Discussion Topics Under the European Emission Trading SystemDirective, each component of the CCS chain(capture, transport and storage) is separatelypermitted and an obligation to surrenderallowances does not arise for emissions verifiedas captured and transported for permanentstorage to a facility permitted in accordance withthe CCS Directive. How should CCS and emissioncompliance requirements be handled in Canadaand the United States? 52. Contact Information http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/[email protected] 512 463 3011 53.

TECHNOLOGY ROUNDTABLE:Bringing Down the Cost of CO2 Capture, ROI in EORApplications, and Size of Recoverable Resource59 60. Discussion Topics What is on the horizon, and how far out is that horizon, for dramatically reducing the cost of CO2capture? To what extent can novel capture systems be used to offset carbon emissions to meetregulations? What other out-of-the-box thinking on reducing capture cost should we be contemplating? Given the costs, benefits, uncertainties and risks, what potential returns on investment for CO2-EOR is conducive to a business case? What would the cost of captured anthropogenic CO2 have tobe for industry to make use of it for CO2-EOR (along with the permanent storage of the CO2) andhow would the cost relate to world oil prices? In terms of risk/reward, what do you see as the potential for recoverable resources in NorthAmerica and the world realistically in the next 5 years? 10 years? To what extent is this potentialsustainable as a path to CCS? What do you see as the key issues and priorities that must be addressed? During this past year, some in the U.S. Congress have suggested using a carbon tax as mechanismfor putting a price on carbon and reducing CO2 emissions. Others in the U.S. Congress have beenvery opposed to a carbon tax but have been supportive of a carbon cap and trade approach. Whatare your thoughts on this subject? 61. Technology and Scale CCS technology is proven and is technologically feasible.Demonstration at commercial scale is critical to definerisks, optimize process and achieve cost reduction to supportcommercial contracting The CCS technology requires both policy direction and financialsupport to be demonstrated at commercial scale CCS could be competitive on a level playing field in a freemarket EOR will help close the gap on financing particularly on earlymove projects. Other products may be helpful depending on markets Stronger Governmental support is required 62.

Discussion Topics What global opportunities do you see for the deployment of CCS, especially in locations thatdo not currently have legislative or regulatory requirements to do so?What do you consider to be some of the principal barriers, political and otherwise, impedingthe deployment of CCS? What actions can Governments take to overcome these barriers to sustainable CCSdeployment?What do you see as key priority issues and actions needed to move CCS/CCUS forward sothat it can be part of a sustainable clean energy portfolio? During this past year, some in the U.S. Congress have suggested using a carbon tax asmechanism for putting a price on carbon and reducing CO2 emissions.
