Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Carbon dioxide capture and storage is widely recognized as a key interim component in reducing global carbon emissions.

We provide strategic consultancy services and engineering services in carbon capture and storage. 

Element Energy is heavily involved in this emerging area. Our work has included techno-economic assessments of opportunities for CCS at regional, national and global levels, screening viable carbon sinks, and undertaking an economic appraisal of CCS options for a major oil and gas company.

Our capabilities include:

• GIS mapping of CO2 sources and gas field sinks to identify potential networks for CCS.
• Developing and costing networks from capture to injection facilities.
• Economic screening and analysis of CCS projects for viability assessments.
• Global assessments of marginal abatement costs for CCS.

Selected case studies:

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and supply chain analysis

• CO₂ transport and storage

• Screening of viable sinks for carbon capture and storage in Scotland

• CO₂ storage in depleted gas fields

• Opportunities for the East of England in carbon capture and storage
