We are responding to emerging policy signals that continued use of coal will require CCS

• Capture– Active in numerous carbon capture

technology development projects– Focus on post combustion as this is best

suited to pulverised coal plant• Transport

– Scottish CO2 Infrastructure Study in conjunction with the Scottish Government and industry partners

• Storage– Assessing local/interim storage in aquifers

under the Firth of Forth– Exploring potential for enhanced coal bed

methane production – Using established relationships with oil/gas

field operators to develop options for storage in the North Sea

• UK CCS Demo Competition– One of four prequalified bidders and now

engaged in the Competition Process



• Part of the World’s 4th largest energy group

• Extensive experience in major capital project delivery and plant operations

• Strategic commitment to coal to provide secure and flexible energy supplies

• Committed to making Scotland its Global Centre of Excellence for Clean Coal

• Aker Group has a over 27,000 employees on five continents

• 17 years of CO2 capture expertise being used to accelerate the commercialisation of this technology

• Has a delivery model with expertise across the entire CCS chain

• Clear development roadmap, including £20m investment in “SOLVit” programme

Success in the UK CCS Competition requires multi-national cooperation

• 4th largest integrated oil & gas company in the US

• Ability to establish mutually beneficial long-term relationships

• Extensive offshore production expertise to develop the capability in CCS for deployment elsewhere

• Options for CO2 storage and life extension of existing North Sea assets

A consortium with the required mix of expertise and knowledge

to successfully develop a commercial scale CCS project



We aim to exploit “some of the best potential for CO2 storage in the world”

• Central North Sea benefits

– Fields and infrastructure that have the potential for reuse for CO2 storage

– History of handling high CO2 content oil and gas

– Geology particularly suitable for long-term CO2 storage

– Range of options using both hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers relatively close to the UK and Norway

• Seizing the opportunity

– Need to agree common arrangements for managing cross-boundary issues and access to storage

– Exploiting complementary skills through international collaboration

– Government intervention to ‘kick-start’ a CO2 transportation and storage network



“Opportunity is missed by most people because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work.”Thomas Edison
