CCUS as a Tool for LNG Innovation A report prepared for the Global Gas Innovation Roundtable July 2023 Prepared by About the Global Gas Innovation Roundtable The mission of the Roundtable is to ensure that governments, policymakers, multilateral institutions and energy thought leaders have a greater understanding of the technology and innovation underway that will improve the perform. [...] CCUS as a Tool for LNG Innovation 02 2.0 What is CCUS? “ Carbon capture, storage and utilisation play a critical role in achieving climate goals…Limiting the availability of CO2 storage would increase the cost of the energy transition.” — International Energy Agency¹ CCUS stands for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage.* As shown in Figure 1, CCUS is a set of technologies that capture CO2 emis. [...] Transporting CO2 by pipeline has many similarities with transporting natural gas, but there are some differences in terms of pipeline construction, design and the transport process itself as well as the management of the pipelines for integrity and safety.11 CO2 is non-flammable and the main safety concern is suffocation in confined spaces and the effects of impurities. [...] A major sub-component of Longship is Northern Lights, the part of the project that transports and sequesters the CO2 and that is operated by the oil companies Equinor, TotalEnergies and Shell. [...] Carbon capture at the liquefaction stage can be applied to emissions in the flue gas from gas turbines used to power the liquefaction process; or from emissions released in the generation of power for the remainder of the facility.29 Emissions can be reduced through either pre- or post-combustion technologies, as discussed in Section 4.
