[From preface] In May 2009 the Global CCS Institute commissioned a WorleyParsons led consortium comprising of Schlumberger, Baker & McKenzie and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to undertake a Strategic Analysis of the Global Status of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The Strategic Analysis of the Global Status of CCS consists of six reports to be completed by September 2009. These are:
• an Early Report presenting a high level overview of the key issues and preliminary findings of the study to inform the 2009 G8 Summit held in L’Aquila, Italy, between 8 to 10 July; and
• four foundation reports and a fifth synthesis report that covers:
− a comprehensive survey of all CCS projects being undertaken globally;
− a detailed analysis of the capture, transport and storage costs for power plants and a select range of industrial applications. All costs used in this study are in US$ unless otherwise specified;
− a detailed assessment of the status of policy supporting CCS development globally;
− a comprehensive list and analysis of existing Research and Development (R&D) networks (government, academia, industry and institute) involved in CCS; and
− a comprehensive assessment of the gaps and barriers to the global deployment of large scale CCS projects.
This is Report Five (the Synthesis Report). It summarises the four foundation reports, presents a gaps and challenges assessment, risk analysis and CCS project analysis, as well as providing mitigation
strategies and recommendations to the Global CCS Institute.
