Nuclear energy, by providing reliable and afordable electricity, helps
keep business competitive and powers future worldwide job growth.
Today, nuclear energy provides 15 percent of total global electricity
generation and accounts for more than 45 percent of the carbon-free
electricity in the world. Westinghouse, and its nearly 14,000 global
employees, is dedicated to safe performance.
Tats why the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear plant is designed to be
more than 200 times safer than U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
requirements and be able to withstand the most extreme events. It is
designed to shut down automatically, without the need for backup
power, and will cool itself for 72 hours before any human intervention
is necessary. Tis is made possible through the use of gravity, natural
circulation, condensation and convection.
As the most advanced design available in the global marketplace, four
AP1000 units are under construction in China. Four units are also under
construction in the United States. Building additional AP1000 units
will provide future generations with safe, clean and reliable electricity.

International nuclear investment
A state-of-the-industry look at the global nuclear sector, and in
particular where international companies are looking to invest and
why. It also includes an examination of what the UKs recent Energy Bill
means for the British nuclear industry and the foreign companies that
supply and invest in it.
HRSG cycling and effective lifecycle management
Heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are increasingly being
required to operate in cycling mode according to market demands.
Consequently, operators now have to manage this asset in a way
that has to strike a balance between risk to reliability and availability
and the potential fnancial returns from having a more operationally
fexible power plant.

I
am delighted to present to you Power
Engineering Internationals 2013 Buyers
Guide, which we hope will once again prove
an invaluable tool when making the right
plant equipment and services purchasing
decisions a key objective as we continue to
face economically challenging times.
Over the last 12 months we have been
working hard to compile the most accurate and
up-to-date product and services information
and company contact details through our
questionnaires and telephone research.
However, nothing is ever prefect, so if you spot
any errors or omissions, please contact us at
peibg@pennwell.com so that we can continue
to strengthen the information provided.
Our Buyers Guide is divided once again
into three main sections: a Products listing, a
Services listing, and a directory of companies
contact information. Your can fnd the Index
on p.24 & 26.
In the Products and Services sections,
which start on p.28 and extend to p.49, you
will fnd an extensive, although not exhaustive,
list of companies that serve the global power
industry, with each company listed under the
product or service heading and subheading
relevant to their business.
Our annual Buyers Guide aims to highlight
as many companies as possible that are
involved in supplying equipment and services
to all sectors of the global power generation
industry ranging from coal and gas-fred
power facilities to the latest wind and solar
farms, and from large-scale hydroelectricity to
nuclear power as well as companies serving
the industrys associated T&D sector.
The section featuring the contact details
of the companies is arranged alphabetically
and starts on p.50. It features full mailing
addresses and contact information such as
telephone numbers, email addresses and
website URLs, if supplied.
As in previous editions of the Buyers Guide
we also provide a selection of interesting and
diverse articles.
The International Energy Agency (IEA)
published the latest edition of its World Energy
Outlook (WEO) report in November last year.
This highly-respected annual publication
takes an in depth and comprehensive look
at the global energy sector and assesses how
its various component parts will evolve up
to2035.
According to the report, the balance
of power in the global energy markets is
changing. And within fve years the world
will have new leaders in both oil and gas
production, plus electricity demand will
increase by over 70 per cent by 2035, primarily
fuelled by non-OECD countries. For this issue,
we have reviewed the main fndings of the
2012 WEO and assess the implications for the
global electricity sector (p.610).
The IEA predicts that coals share of global
primary energy demand will fall to less than
25 per cent in 2035; however it will remain the
second most important fuel behind oil, and
most importantly, the backbone of electricity
generation, particularly in China and India.
Thus, coals continued importance in
producing secure and affordable electricity
once again emphasizes the importance of
moving carbon capture and storage (CCS)
to commercialisation as quickly as possible.
However, specifc issues continue to hamper its
large-scale deployment, not least high energy
costs and uncertainty over the geology of
storage sites, as well as high-capital costs,
which are a particular challenge in the
current economic climate, and signifcant
public concern over storage site locations.
All this begs the question, is there an
alternative to storing carbon dioxide? Should
we be looking at reusing it rather than putting
it into the ground, and thereby adding a
commercial value to capturing the carbon
emissions in the frst place? Starting on p.16,
we investigate the current status of carbon
capture and utilisation (CCU), and assess
CCUs viability to help drive CCS forward.
Finally, in our regular Talking Point feature,
we asked a number of players in the
international power industry what single driver
be it policy, regulation, innovation, access to
fnance or something else will most infuence
the market this year? And we received quite
diverse answers see p.12.
I hope this years Buyers Guide proves
useful to you and I very much wish you a
successful and prosperous 2013 whatever
business area you are in.

THERE IS A
NEW ENERGY
LANDSCAPE
Power Report: Global forecast
T
he foundations of the global
energy system are shifting
substantially, with implications
for everybody. This stark claim
was made by Fatih Birol, chief
economist at the International
Energy Agency (IEA). He was speaking at the
launch of the World Energy Outlook (WEO),
the IEAs annual publication that makes
projections for the energy sector up to 2035. He
said there is a new landscape forming, and
added that it has signifcant consequences
for everybody.
One of the factors driving this shifting
landscape is resurgent oil and gas
production in the US, Canada and less
obviously Iraq, a country with huge
potential. He adds that by 2017, the United
States will be the worlds largest oil producer,
surpassing Saudi Arabia, and by 2015 it will
be the clear leader in global gas production,
overtaking Russia.
In North America, this gas boom is being
fuelled by the surge in shale gas production,
which has resulted in a wide gap in gas prices
in the US compared to Europe and Asia and
means the US is moving to a different rhythm
to the rest of world when it comes to gas.
Birol also stresses that the centre of gravity
of world energy use is moving east. The share
of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-
operation and Development) countries in
global energy use is declining sharply. In 1995,

two-thirds of global energy was consumed by
OECD countries. By 2030, the IEA estimates that
that fgure will have dropped to one-third. The
rise in consumption of non-OECD countries will
be led, unsurprisingly, by China, India and the
Middle East, driven by economic growth and
a rise in the middle classes in those countries.
Yet Birol stresses that 1.3 billion people still
have no access to electricity.
North America is

Electricity demand
The IEA forecasts that electricity demand will
expand by over 70 per cent between 2010
and 2035, or 2.2 per cent a year on average.
More than 80 per cent of growth comes in
non-OECD countries, with over half in China
(38 per cent) and India (13 per cent) alone.
Up to 2035, average electricity prices
increase by 15 per cent, driven by higher
fuel prices, a shift to more capital-intensive
generating capacity, carbon pricing in
some countries and growing subsidies for
renewables. There are signifcant regional
price variations, with the highest prices
persisting in the European Union (EU) and
Japan, well above those in the US and China.
In net terms, global generating capacity
expands by almost three-quarters, from
5429 GW in 2011 to 9340 GW by 2035. Gas and
wind together account for almost half of this
increase, followed by coal and hydro at about
15 per cent each. Solar photovoltaic (PV)
capacity also expands rapidly, at a rate more
than two-and-a-half times that of nuclear,
though generation from solar PV increases by
half that of nuclear, refecting the much lower
average availability of these plants.
As mentioned before, the bulk of growth in
electricity use to 2035 will come in non-OECD
countries, which have a projected share of
incremental global demand of over four-ffths.
At an average of 5.2 per cent per year,
electricity demand in India grows faster than
in any other region, due mainly to strong
population and economic growth. Average
annual demand per capita increases by
three-quarters in non-OECD countries, from
almost 1600 kWh in 2010 to 2800 kWh in 2035.
Yet per capita demand in the OECD remains
far higher, though it increases much more
slowly, from 7800 kWh in 2010 to 8700 kWh in
2035. In sub-Saharan Africa, consumption
remains extremely low, at only 500 kWh per
capita in 2035. Although the number of people
with access to electricity worldwide increases
signifcantly, 12 per cent of the population still
lacks access to electricity in 2030, compared
with 19 per cent in 2010.
Natural gas
The IEA predicts a steady expansion of natural
gas through to 2035, growing at an annual
average rate of 1.6 per cent. Although it rises
worldwide, its growth is far more pronounced
in non-OECD countries. In China, demand rises
from 130 billion m3 (bcm) in 2011 to 545 bcm
in 2035, while the Middle East and India see
growth to 640 bcm and 180 bcm respectively.
In all, non-OECD countries account for 80 per
cent of the overall increase in global natural
gas demand.
The IEA states that the worlds resources
of natural gas can easily keep pace with
this increasing demand for the fuel. In 2035,
Russia will continue to hold massive resources
of natural gas, while output in Brazil, Iraq and
East Africa will rise dramatically.
Regardless of how government policies
evolve, the power sector will remain the
main driver of gas demand in most regions.
However, the IEA stresses that the extent of gas
use will depend heavily on its price, both in
absolute terms and relative to the cost of coal.
Natural gas used mainly in combined-
cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) is expected to
remain the preferred option for new power
stations, due to a combination of economic,
operational and environmental reasons:
CCGTs have relatively high thermal effciency,
are quick and cheap to build, fexible to
operate and emit less carbon dioxide and
local air pollutants than other fossil fuel-based
technologies.
Unconventional gas
While everyone is aware that unconventional
gas will play a key role in meeting rising natural
gas demand, the IEA estimates it will account
for close to half of the increase in global gas
production between 2011 and 2035.
Most of this rise is accounted for by shale
gas and coalbed methane, with the former
making up about 14 per cent of total gas
production in 2035 and the latter 7 per cent.
The bulk of this increase comes from just three
countries China (30 per cent), the US (20 per
cent) and Australia (12 per cent).
While the effects of the shale gas boom
in the US are well documented and often
held up as a model to copy, the IEA cautions
that the prospects for unconventional gas
production worldwide remain uncertain.
This is for several reasons, but in particular
because of growing public concerns about
the environmental and social impact of
hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the method
by which shale gas is extracted. A failure to
address and resolve these concerns could

forecast, outstripping new nuclear capacity

hinder the development of unconventional
gas in many parts of the world, says the IEA.
Other challenges, including an adverse
fscal and regulatory framework, limited access
to pipelines and markets, and shortages of
expertise, technology and water, which is vital
for fracking, could hold back production.
Coal
In the past decade, coal has met 45 per cent
of the growth in global energy demand.
The IEA forecasts global coal demand
growing by 0.8 per cent a year to 2035, with
growth slowing sharply after 2020 as recently
introduced and planned policies to curb its
use take effect.
While coals share of global primary
energy demand falls to less than 25 per
cent in 2035, it still remains the second most
important fuel behind oil and the backbone
of electricity generation. Its use grows in all
major non-OECD countries, with China and
India alone accounting for nearly 75 per
cent of this growth, with India passing the
US by 2025 as the worlds second largest
coal user. Meanwhile, coal use in all major
OECD countries will drop dramatically. Coal
demand in the US fell 4.5 per cent in 2011
and continues to drop as the shale gas boom
displaces the need for coal.
The IEA also notes that as around one-third
of the 340 GW of coal-fred capacity is more
than 30 years old and relatively ineffcient
and coal-fred generation faces more stringent
pollution standards many older plants may
become subject to accelerated retirement.
It also highlights that there has been
hardly any net increase in coal-fred capacity
since 2000, while the last decade saw a near
doubling in gas-fred capacity to 425 GW.
Renewables
The IEA forecasts that electricity generation
from renewables will nearly triple from
2010 to 2035, reaching 31 per cent of total
generation. In 2035, hydropower provides half
of renewables-based generation, wind almost
one quarter and solar PV 7.5 per cent.
Biofuels use more than triples from
1.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day
(mboe/d) in 2010 to 4.5 mboe/d in 2035.
The IEA calculates that investment in
renewables of $6.4 trillion is required between
now and 2035. The power sector accounts for
94 per cent of this sum wind ($2.1 trillion),
hydro ($1.5 trillion) and solar PV ($1.3 trillion)
with the remainder in biofuels.
Investment in OECD countries accounts
for 48 per cent of the total, focusing mainly
on wind and solar PV, while in non-OECD
countries most investment is in hydro and
wind. Renewable energy subsidies jumped to
$88 billion in 2011, up 24 per cent on 2010, and
they need to hit almost $240 billion in 2035 to
achieve the trends projected by the IEA.
An investment in
renewables of
$6.4 trillion is required
over 20122035
Cumulative support to renewables for
power generation amounts to $3.5 trillion,
of which over one quarter is already locked
in by commitments to existing capacity,
and about 70 per cent is set to be locked
in by2020.
While vital to the growth of the industry,
subsidies for new renewables capacity
need to be reduced as costs fall to avoid
them becoming an excessive burden on
governments and end-users.
Nuclear
The shadow of Fukushima continues to hang
over nuclear power in many countries in the
IEAs forecast, notably and unsurprisingly
Japan, where following the disaster in March
2011 all reactors were shutdown for stress tests
to review their safety.
To date, only two units have restarted while
in September, Japan released the Innovative
Strategy for Energy and the Environment,
which includes a goal of reducing reliance
on nuclear power.
The IEA assumes that all existing reactors
except those at Fukushima Daini and Daiichi
are re-commissioned over the next few years.
Their lifetimes are limited to 40 years in the
case of reactors built before 1990 and 50 years
for those built more recently. It also assumes
that no new plants apart from two already
under construction are built by 2035. As
such, the IEA forecasts total nuclear capacity
in Japan will fall from 46 GW in 2011 to 24 GW
in 2035, and the share of nuclear in electricity
generation drops from 26 per cent in 2010 to
20 per cent in 2020 and 15 per cent in 2035.
Meanwhile, nuclear power output grows
at roughly the same pace as projected in
the 2011 WEO, with the exception of the US,
where some plants are due for retirement
and the effect of unconventional gas means
that fewer new plants are likely to be built.
As a result, US nuclear capacity reaches
120 GW in 2035, which is 5 GW lower than
the projection in the 2011 WEO. Installed
capacity in 2035 in the EU is also revised
down, from 129 GW to 120 GW, as a result
of the reduced competitiveness of nuclear
power and slightly higher retirements.
In China, it is expected that a moratorium
on new approvals will be lifted and the nuclear
programme will proceed as planned.
At present, there are 64 reactors under
construction in the world, totalling 66 GW
of capacity.
Transmission & distribution (T&D)
Finally, the IEA predicts that the total length
of the T&D system worldwide will increase by
25 million km to around 93 million km in
2035. Distribution networks, delivering power
over short distances from substations to
households, businesses and small industrial
facilities, account for about 88 per cent of
this increase, while transmission grids, moving
power over long distances from generators
to local substations near the fnal customers,
account for the remainder.
The IEA stresses that robust T&D grids are
critical to system fexibility and are particularly
important for accommodating the increasing
contribution of variable renewables.
Cumulative investment in T&D from 2012
to 2035 is estimated to be $7.2 trillion, with
fnance from non-OECD countries making up
more than three-ffths of this, and China alone
accounting for 40 per cent. Meanwhile in the
OECD, the majority of T&D investment will be
spent on replacing and refurbishing assets
rather than building new ones, as power
markets in these countries are relatively mature.

Talking Point
In this months Talking
Point, we ask players
in the international
power sector what
single driver be it
policy, regulation,
innovation, access to
fnance or something
else will most
infuence the market
this year?
Answer: Shale gas
It is impossible to underestimate the infuence
that US shale gas has had on the power
sector globally in 2012, and will continue to
have in 2013.
The infuence is not merely the direct
infuence that shale gas has on the North
American energy sector, with low prices,
reduced carbon emissions and energy
independence, but the direct and indirect
implications this has across the rest of the
world. These infuences can be split into three:
Economic Abundant shale gas reserves
not only skew America and other economies
towards gas, but they encourage, in the
short term at least, an increase in the
burning of coal and oil as demand and
prices drop. This does not, at least in the
developed world, lead to investment in new
coal and oil but it does, alongside the low-
carbon prices where they exist, encourage
fuel switching in the short term, with the
consequent environmental impacts. Lower
energy prices globally do not encourage a
frugal use of these resources.
Environmental In North America the switch
to shale gas has undoubtedly achieved
a welcome reduction in greenhouse
gas emissions which have been about
double the per capita emissions of Europe
and four times those of China. But the
impact on the environment through the
use of toxic chemicals in fracking is not
benign and in more densely populated
areas of the world will need to be strictly
and expensively controlled. Shale gas is
still a carbon intensive fuel and cannot,
without other technologies such as carbon
capture and storage, be part of a global
low-carbon power sector.
But the most invidious impact is political.
Political envy and emulation hoping
that shale gas discoveries will herald a
glorious new age of gas elsewhere has
had a damaging impact on policies.
Even in countries where the development
of shale gas is likely to be expensive and
environmentally damaging, politicians in
an economic bind are tempted to shape
their policies to replicate the shale gas
boom of North America. This is likely to
mean a detrimental ditching of emissions
targets and other, more appropriate,
technology developments in the hope
that shale gas will create a spur in growth
and jobs. In most cases, and in particular
in most of Europe, this is plain wrong. And
investment in other low-carbon energy
has been stymied at a great cost to both
the economy and the climate. So North
American shale gas will continue to be
the most infuential driver on the power
market in 2013 and we will need politicians
with clear vision and strong leadership to
ensure that it becomes part of a solution
to 21st century energy needs and not a
newproblem.
Loic Douillet, Marketing
Vice-President, Alstom
Answer: Global economic outlook
In terms of demand for new capacity, what
will most infuence the 2013 power market is
likely to be the global economic outlook.
From experience, GDP growth remains
the overall number one driver of the new-
build market, with a kind of double effect:
not only does it shape the level of investors
confdence in the future, but additionally it is

physically driving electricity demand growth.
This correlation is usually strong for
emerging economies. In China, 1 per cent
of GDP growth is driving approximately 1 per
cent more electricity consumption growth
and essentially 10 GW of additional capacity
usually ordered. In industrialised countries,
the correlation of electricity consumption
to GDP is less intensive, and retirement and
renewable incentive schemes are infuencing
investment levels to a greater extent.
All in all, in 2013 the demand for new
build will remain strong for all plant types
in emerging countries thanks to expected
resilient GDP growth. In industrialised countries,
with many facing a weak GDP outlook and
overcapacity, we will see limited investment
in thermal power generation but a better
renewables market as long as incentives
aremaintained.
Dr Jon Moore, Director of
Commuications,
Intelligent Energy
Answer: Energy infrastructure
The global energy infrastructure is ageing
and under extreme pressure from increasing
demand. The short-term cost of updating
or replacing the current infrastructure is
prohibitive, which necessitates the need
for a smart approach to maximise existing
and new infrastructure, although a smart
approach will have to be combined with
a pragmatic vision of future energy needs,
infrastructure capabilities and the energy mix.
The ambitious EU carbon reduction
and energy targets for 2020 require a
modernisation and expansion of Europes
energy infrastructure to simply meet its core
energy policy objectives of competitiveness,
sustainability and security of supply.
A greater share of renewables in the energy
mix requires increased storage of electricity
to provide more intelligent and fexible
infrastructure;
Reduction of energy consumption targets
will require smarter control of the grid
infrastructure and the ability of consumers
to adopt smart consumption habits;
Improvement of supply security will be
driven by infrastructure and network
expansion smart electricity transmission
systems, storage systems, pipeline network.
These targets and objectives can only be
achieved with regional alignment on policy
and investment. Europe requires an estimated
investment of 200 billion within the next ten
years for the construction of gas pipelines
and electricity grids.
Current investment levels are not enough
to achieve this level of energy infrastructure
modernisation. Policy measures must
also enable speedy permits for critical
infrastructure construction projects.
In 2013, European leaders will vote on the
much needed regulation to enable the trans-
European energy infrastructure. This will be
a huge step towards energy supply stability
across the region one that will also create
positive ripples for the European economy
and jobs market.
Consumers and energy suppliers will also
beneft from lower costs driven by greater
competition. The foundations of a smarter
connected energy infrastructure will make
a start.

Answer: Gas policies
According to the Environmental Investigation
Agency and the International Energy Agency,
the role of gas generation will increase in 2013
and beyond. I fully agree with them. Effcient
and fexible gas generation is needed for
variable renewables generation integration,
especially in Europe, and affordable gas with
shale gas possibilities makes investments in
gas generation attractive also outside the US.
Even though the opportunities for gas
generation seem to be obvious, there lies
great political uncertainty around gas
generation investments. Therefore, I would say
that policies around gas will be the single
driver most infuencing the power market
in2013.
In the EU, high gas prices, low spark
spreads, and subsidised renewable
generation have made the position of gas
generation challenging. This has raised
discussion on plant closures leading to
potential reliabilityrisks. The EU and several EU
Member States have understood the need to
secure competitiveness of gas generation,
since fexible gas generation is needed to
back-up increasing renewable generation.
Consequently, political decisions on capacity
mechanisms, fexibility markets and internal
energy markets will shape the EU market
in2013.
Contrary to Europe, gas is cheap in the
US. Current low domestic gas prices keep
attracting new investments in gas generation,
but simultaneously investments in gas
infrastructure are postponed while awaiting
information on the gas export policy, which
will have a major impact on long-term
domestic gas price levels.
Political decisions on gas exports in the
US, and shale gas development outside the
US, will affect gas prices and gas generation
development globally.
Increasing gas availability and lower gas
prices will shift energy policies from coal
towards gas in economies like China and
India, which are still witnessing 810 per cent
annual growth in power consumption in 2013.
An affordable, reliable and sustainable
power system will remain an objective in 2013
and beyond. As politicians in different markets
have now understood the potential of gas to
meet these objectives, we will witness several
political decisions to boost investments in gas
generation in 2013.

After a few years of a robust power market,
2013 will be a tough year for the power
industry, but in the mid and long term we
expect the market to show a strong growth.
Over the next 20 years, todays fossil power
generation capacity will be doubled.
Power plants with a total capacity of close
to 6000 GW were installed throughout the
world by2011.

Siemens estimates that new power plants
with a total capacity of 7000 GW will be
built until 2030. More than 70 per cent of this
to-be-added capacity will be located in six
key regions of the world: the US, Europe, China,
India, Russia and the Middle East.
Energy systems in all continents are
currently being transformed and the power
market is undergoing major changes and
at an ever-faster pace. Furthermore, the
markets are very diversifed and are driven by
different regional needs, for example strong
demand growth in countries like China and
India, replacement of ageing equipment in
the US, availability and cost of fuel, and last
but not least environmental issues.
Germanys energy transition is just one
example of how quickly the energy system
is having to adapt to new challenges.
Consequently, all these aspects are leading
to requirements for different technical and
commercial solutions.
It is essential to be present in these markets,
to be close to the customers, as well as to
know and understand their specifc needs.

Answer: Sustainability vs affordability
The balance between affordability,
sustainability and security evolves as ever
around the globe. In Europe, the weak
growth prospects and the scarcity of new
ideas are increasing the pressure to move
from sustainability to affordability in the
short term.
Looking beyond Europe, shale gas seems
to offer lower carbon than coal, lower cost
and improved security with diverse global
sources.
However, the risks of narrow portfolios are
clear to all particularly when viewed over
the lifetime of power assets.
The strike price achieved in the UK by
the government for the frst of the proposed
nuclear feet in the frst quarter of this year will
provide a critical data point for the future of
this balance in the UK, in Europe as a whole
and the broader international markets.

Carbon emissions control
R
ising concern over the
power sectors emissions has
brought CCS into increasing
prominence. In March 2013,
the UK is expected to choose its
frst major CCS power project,
which will also be the worlds frst not to be
associated with enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
and the frst to pipe its emissions offshore.
The decision will throw a spotlight onto CCS
in Europe and prime further development in
a sector where progress has often been slow.
For its advocates, CCS is the only low-
carbon power technology that can compete
with nuclear in scale and consistency.
Through their baseload applications, CCS
projects should also deliver huge emissions
savings at a lower cost per unit than
intermittent rival technologies such as solar
and wind.
Campaigners also underscore that,
instead of being stored, captured CO
2
can
be put to use. Turning a climate change
threat into a raw material for a new
sustainable carbon cycle would clearly be a
technological triumph. But is it feasible and
how much carbon could be consumed?
The emergence of CCU
In fact, with the exception of EOR, utilisation
processes are yet to be fully commercialised,
and the quantities of CO
2
they utilise are
insignifcant. Yet algal biofuels and carbon-
based material production as well as
EOR could increasingly add value to CCS
projects, particularly those for smaller-scale,
high concentration industrial emissions,
where capture is currently not required.
On paper, CCS certainly makes good
sense as an emissions reduction option
for the power industry. Excluding it as a
technology would increase global green
investment costs to 2050 by 40 per cent,
according to the International Energy
Agency (IEA). What is more, CCS or CCU is
the only known way of dealing with emissions
from unavoidable sources such as steel and
cement production.
Carbon emissions control
As a solution to the power
sectors carbon dioxide
(CO
2
) emissions issue,
carbon capture and
storage (CCS) could
potentially be bolstered
by the environmental
and commercial benefts
of carbon capture and
utilisation (CCU), fnds
Jeremy Bowden.
Carbon capture:
for use or storage?
Capturing carbon dioxide from thermal plant emissions and, ideally, putting it to use
could offer an economical route to a low-carbon economy

Carbon emissions control
Despite this, the IEA complains that
CCS is often excluded from the supportive
policies and funding targeted at low-carbon
technologies, which means governments
may fail to follow the least cost route to
lower emissions. High up-front costs also
weaken the appeal of CCS, which in some
circumstances can lack the energy security
benefts offered by wind or solar, and is also
unfashionable among environmentalists.
Globally, eight large-scale EOR-driven
CCS projects currently store about 23 million
tonnes of CO
2
per year (mntCO
2
/year),
according to the Global Carbon Capture
and Storage Institute (GCCSI). Although
concern over unreliable storage was largely
responsible for halting another eight projects
in 2012, none of these existing plants has
experienced reservoir leakage.
A further eight projects are under
construction, including two linked to power
plants. These will raise storage to more than
36 mntCO
2
/year by 2015, or about 70 per cent
of the IEAs CCS target for the year. Looking
further ahead, though, CCS is expected to fall
increasingly short of the agencys objectives.
While CCU could improve the economics
of CCS projects, it operates on a different
scale, says Professor Peter Styring of Sheffeld
University in the UK. While a utilisation
advocate, he estimates that CCU could
absorb just 10 per cent of emissions.
Theres no competition between
utilisation and storage, because each has a
separate main purpose, he says. Utilisation
is not so much about controlling emissions,
it is more about ensuring a secure carbon
chemical supply chain in the future.
As well as to mitigate climate change,
governments seek to achieve economic
stability, establish sustainable industries,
maintain employment and ensure energy
security, he adds.
Currently the most proftable use of CO
2
is to make Asprin, he says. But the worlds
demand would be satisfed by a partial off
take from a small waste plant in Sheffeld. On
the other hand the synthetic kerosene and
diesel markets are huge.
Using CO
2
for transport fuels could provide
an alternative to the hydrogen-based energy
system many expect to replace fossil fuels,
saiys Professor Styring. And using CO
2
in
aviation fuels could be essential because
no other fuel, including hydrogen, has yet
proved technically viable, he adds.
He believes that intermittent renewables
could provide energy to produce fuels based
on CO
2
during periods of low grid demand. In
this way, CO
2
utilisation would effectively store
intermittent renewable energy, both in terms
of carbon and electrons.
Dr Ward Goldthorpe, CCS programme
manager for the UK Crown Estate, considers
that utilisation could improve project
economics by attaching a value to the CO
2
.
Using some of the carbon as a raw material
or for EOR is welcome to help facilitate
storage projects. They are certainly not
mutually exclusive. We need to juggle in a bit
of everything, he said.
Enhanced gas recovery, coalbed
methane injection and uses in other
unconventional hydrocarbon development
could also be complementary to CCS, he
added.
So far only the EU has a structural incentive
for CCS through the emissions trading
scheme (ETS), but prices are well below
the levels needed for private development,
given the costs and perceived investment
risk of the relatively untested technology.
Additional subsidies are being provided
through competitive process in the UK
and EU, while other governments including
Canada, Australia, China and the US have
also sponsored development by more than
$20 billion globally to date.
CCU deserves similar backing, saus
Professor Styring. Whenever CCS is proposed,
CCU should be considered, and CCU should
also be promoted more by organisations like
the IEA and United Nations, in his view.
UK edges ahead in CCS
The UK is taking a leading role in CCS with
a comprehensive support policy combining
a subsidy for early plants, with guaranteed
long-term market-linked power prices.
CCS is earmarked to meet 7 gigatonnes
(Gt) of carbon savings within a legally-
binding target of 42 Gt to 2050 under a least
cost scenario. The UKs Energy Technology
Institute estimates a 1 per cent per year GDP
saving to 2050 through using CCS rather than
renewable technologies to meet the targets.
What is more, the UKs recent decision
to back shale gas development and push
ahead with new gas-fred power plants has
knock-on implications for CCS, making it
even more critical to the countrys binding
emissions reduction strategy.
In the UK, the CCS Cost Reduction Task
Force (CRTF) predicts the sector will be able
to generate electricity at a levelised cost
approaching 100 ($160)/MWh by the early
2020s, and at a cost signifcantly below that
soon after.
Costs will fall though transforming existing
large offshore hydrocarbon gathering
structures into CO
2
storage clusters (including
EOR operations), which would take gas from
multiple onshore CO
2
emitters through large,
shared pipelines, with high usage, says
Dr Goldthorpe.
Third party access regulations will be
based on those of oil and gas in the UK, which
is one of the most effcient and competitive
regimes in the world, he adds. Access to
storage is more diffcult. The UK is unique in
reforming markets to achieve results, which is
why the frst [EU] power-to-storage project will
be here.
The CRTF also expects capture costs to
fall following the frst couple of projects, while
dedicated funding through the new Green
Bank, along with rising private fnance as
investor confdence improves, should bring
down capital costs. Longer term, the CRTF
expects EOR in some central North Sea oil
felds to further improve economics.
At the end of the frst quarter of 2013,
the UKs Department of Energy and Climate
Change (DECC) is expected to provide
funds of up to $1 billion to one or more of
four projects vying to be the frst large power-
to-storage project in the UK and across the
world without EOR.
The subsidy is aimed at kick-starting
the industry, which requires heavy up-front
investment if it is to be cost competitive by
the 2020s. Two of the projects will need new
pipelines to offshore storage sites, while the
other two will use existing pipeline infrastructure.
Three of the projects take CO
2
from coal-
fred power stations and one from a gas-fred
station, which could be the worlds frst gas-to-
CCS project. Funding is also expected to come
from the European Commission.
The project chosen in March will be the
frst not associated with EOR worldwide at
commercial scale. It will also be the frst to
collect the gas onshore for deposit offshore,
says Dr Goldthorpe. Eventually the central
North sea will be able to offer storage to
Europe where coal use is on the rise.

Carbon emissions control
market-linked Contract for Difference (CfD)
feed-in tariffs (FiTs) has created the best
environment globally for power-linked CCS,
says Dr Jeff Chapman of the UK Carbon
Capture and Storage Association (CCSA).
While costs are expected to be above
100/MWh in the frst projects, even this is far
below the equivalent solar price. And once
transport and storage networks are started,
costs are expected to fall sharply, he adds. It
is being realised that we cannot do without
fossil fuels in the near term, and CCS tackles
that and global warming at the same time.
Industrial strategy
Dr Chapman sees national environmental
policy as dictated as much by economic as
environmental considerations. The UK has
backed CCS, Germany didnt. It went for a
failed industrial strategy tailored around solar
manufacturing that has been undercut by
the Chinese. Our strategy complements UK
strengths in oil and gas engineering, and
could provide a home for all the CO
2
that
the current ramp up in German coal use
iscreating.
On the other hand, Professor Styring
laments the lack of UK interest in utilisation.
If the development of CO
2
utilisation were a
100-metre race, the Germans already have
a 20-metre head start. They have invested
heavily in utilisation techniques creating a
centre of excellence in Germany, he says.
Yet he also sees policy as refecting nations
efforts to play to their strengths through
industrial development strategies.
For Dr Goldthorpe, though, the UK is
overlooking the commercial aspects of
CCS and CCU. Elsewhere, carbon projects
have proceeded on the basis of synergistic
business models, whereas in the UK it is
in response to carbon reduction targets
enshrined in law, and is simply CCS. In his
view, a carbon tax of $70100/tonne would
put enough value on UK carbon to ensure its
disposal until EOR became easier to work into
projects from 2020.
Professor Stuart Haszeldine of Edinburgh
University also sees a need to bolster the
commercial case for CCS. The UK has
37 billion barrels of additional oil that could
make the [CCS] proposition more attractive.
But lengthy new pipelines will be required
and developers are restricted to existing wells
by the cost of digging new ones, he adds.
New platforms may also be needed
and fow control remains a problem, says
Dr Goldthorpe.
The UK CCSA warmly welcomed recent
UK energy legislation, saying it provided that
much needed investment certainty for
CCS. But there were no special incentives
for carbon utilisation in the bill all the
competing projects are pure storage, with
EOR seen only as a medium-term goal.
CCS makes a patchy start
Despite promising credentials, CCS is behind
schedule. Meeting the IEAs global emission
targets requires that 130 CCS projects are
on-stream by 2020. As well as the 16 now
operating or under construction, only another
51 projects are planned for then, according
to the GCCSI. Worse yet, although some
industrial CCU projects exist, no CCS projects
have been developed for iron, steel or
cement manufacturers. The lack of traction
of CCS is due to a lack of traction on climate
change, says Dr Goldthorpe. But others see
specifc issues for CCS: high energy costs and
uncertainty over storage sites, as well as high-
capital costs that are particularly disabling in
the wake of the banking crisis.
Public protests have curtailed at least
three CCS projects worldwide. But more
projects have been scuppered by technical
glitches, largely associated with uncertainty
over storage capacity and leakage.
Capture can be repeated but storage is
different every time, says Sheila Banes of
geology frm Senergy.
Reservoir integrity represents the longest
lead time for any CCS project, with certifying
for each site requiring several years, although
no operating CCS sites has yet recorded
any leakage, and most experts believe CO
2
is likely to behave much like other gases
in petroleum formations, with which they
are familiar.
Some governments notably Germany
also reject CCS. The German government
has directed no funds towards CCS for three
reasons: a lack of storage, public perception,
and it couldnt fnd a way to make it
proftable, says Professor Styring.
For Dr Goldthorpe, initial project fnancing
has run up against Europes fnancial and
banking crisis. Its all fallen on its face a bit
[in Europe], he says. Peripheral countries are
unable to match EU funds, leaving projects
languishing on the drawing board, he adds.
The component technologies [of CCS]
are understood, the issue for CCS is the size of
upfront capital costs, but as the infrastructure
is put in place costs will fall.
New technology is steadily bringing down
CCSs high capture costs, although not as
quickly as early optimists had predicted.
Capture costs are expected to fall to 3550
($4070)/tonne of CO
2
(tCO
2
) in the early
2020s from 5070/tCO
2
now, according
to the GCCSI. The UKs DECC is targeting
a capture cost of less than $40/tCO
2
for
second generation technologies and less
than $10/tCO
2
captured for transformational
technologies. These goals assume 90 per
cent CO
2
capture, compared to current
capture levels around 6580 per cent in
coal-fred plants.
The other costs are highly variable.
Transportation costs depend on distance,
existing infrastructure and ownership, while
storage costs relate to the ease of injection
and monitoring at reservoirs. But if CCS did
Algal biofuels and chemicals based on captured
CO
2
could add much-needed value to CCS projects

get going as planned, experts expect suitable storage sites including
depleted oil and gas felds to soon be used up, giving an idea of the
huge volumes involved.
Current projects
Eight CCS projects are currently operating, including two offshore
natural gas processing developments with saline reservoir storage,
two CO
2
EOR projects, and BPs gas processing and storage project
in Algeria. All these projects are run by oil companies, who add value
to the CO
2
by fnding a proftable use for it (i.e. EOR), are keen to show
green credentials and have deep enough pockets to meet the high-
capital costs.
In the US, Southern Companys post-combustion 582 MW Plant Barry
which derived added value from EOR recently became the worlds
largest integrated CCS coal-fred project. Of the eight projects under
construction and listed by the GCCSI, two were selected for support
under the US Department of Energys Clean Coal Power Initiative, and
both involve EOR. In CCU, the US is funding a range of projects that
include making carbonates with fue gas from aluminium smelters
and cement plants, as well as producing plastics and algal biofuels
through coal-fred sources.
In August, Australia brought on stream a large algal biofuel plant
fed with CO
2
from a neighbouring ethanol plant. Germany and Spain
host similar plants and even India now has an algal project in the
state of Orissa, which takes CO
2
from a state aluminium plant.
But a huge reliance on coal-fred generation in developing nations
particularly China and India makes large-scale CCS vital for global
emission cuts. So far, only 19 developing countries are looking at CCS,
mostly linked to EOR and with little impact on emissions, according to
the GCCSI.
China is an honourable exception, hosting fve of the nine new
projects announced last year. Chinese support for CCS is also strong
through the countrys 12th Five-Year Plan. The Huaneng Group, the
countrys largest generator now has two CCS pilot projects underway.
But for emerging economies the IEAs global emission reduction
targets look especially challenging. To hit the agencys goal, a
staggering 70 per cent of CCS deployment by 2050 will need to occur
in developing countries.
