The CCP is a partnership of several oil and gas companies working together to advance CCS technologies since 2000. The third phase of work, which operated between 2009-2014, helped deliver 3 significant demonstration projects, amongst numerous other component achievements. The fourth phase of work is planning to make further advances in CCS technology deployment and knowledge for the oil and gas industry. This presentation will summarize our achievements and seek input on our forward plans.

The growth in natural gas-fired power generation continues to be driven by relatively low gas prices, as well as existing and expected environmental regulations. Other emerging factors will both accelerate and hamper this growth, i.e. increasing needs for operational flexibility and the potential need to capture CO2 from gas-fired generation units.  Growing variability in dispatch of firm assets as a result of increasing renewables deployments, distributed generation, and load management makes natural-gas fired generation attractive.

Everyone likes to cite the statistics for the number of coal plants being built each week/month/year in China. Yet, this is only one part of the story. For example, in January 2013, China’s State council approved a national energy consumption control target (4 billion tonnes of coal equivalent by 2015) which caps total energy growth just above 3 percent per year through 2015.
