Carbon Capture and Storage - Technology Centre Mongstad
as the earth keeps due to climate change the search for a solution to combat it
becomes ever more urgent
in mom's dad doorway at the edge in the Norwegian Sea
a gleaming new test facility has been built undertake this task
is in the process of carbon capture storage while one approach to tackling
climate change
is to limit the amount of carbon dioxide created through the burning of fossil
fuels
carbon capture storage RCCs as it is known
aims to trap carbon dioxide emissions before they release into the atmosphere
and store them underground in the good form well it it's 10 the necessary
the things that we have to do in order to do with climate change because we
cannot do without
the use of carbon fuels the world
simply doesn't have any way of substituting comin fumes
100 percent mom step facility is a billion-dollar development owned jointly
by the Norwegian government
and three oil companies Statoil shell
and sauce all and South Africa the facility itself consists of to capture
plants
fitted with more than 4,000 instruments which can capture up to a hundred
thousand tons of carbon a year
these plants are connected to the exhaust who's ever refinery
and also to a nearby gas fired power station experiments will be conducted
measuring different flow rates carbon dioxide concentrations
and the capture technology itself it is hoped that the experiments will not only
improve the processes use for CCS making them more efficient
but eventually make them cheaper as well this is the central to transforming CCS
into a viable technique for mitigating effects of climate change
CCS will have to become profitable
a one point in time or later in the beginning
in order to launch CCS a Semitic rating action
the it will need the
significant to public funding once the
alternative becomes more expensive than investing in co2 capture
than co2 capture plans would of course become profitable
the International Energy Agency believes that CCS could be used to cut twenty
percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions by 2050
to keep the earth's temperature from rising beyond two degrees Celsius
a widely agreed upon safe limit current levels need to be reduced by half
to meet this goal it suggested that a hundred capture facilities will need to
be built by 2020
and another three thousand by 2050 currently
there are only eight facilities in existence but the groundswell of support
that CCS enjoyed only just a few years ago in America and beyond
has faded as the political and economic realities
for dragging economy have kicked in have the 28 carbon storage facilities in the
works
mostly in North America it's likely that many of them will be cancelled due to
costs
but Norway remains committed climate change is in fact the
like be concerned with two people in Norway
norway has a huge wall in the gas industry
that represents a a major portion over carbon
dioxide emissions in Norway was also important for normal because the fact
that the we rely heavily on our
income from holding us export
for that reason we need to solve the climate issues
related to the mission Sokoban
the oxide other some doubts have been raised about the geological safety of
carbon storage
with critics pointing to the potential for seismic activity in storage sites
the risks are seen as quite small the main issue holding back development of
CCS
is simply expense it still cost less to put a ton of co2 into the air then into
the ground
and until this changes this change in carbon legislation put forth by
governments
by improvements in technology the widespread use of city s
will remain far off
