“…To allow CO 2 injection in the ocean underground, under international maritime law, changes have been made in the Oslo-Paris Convention (covering the North-Eastern Atlantic), but the amendment to the London Protocol (which is part of the Oslo-Paris Convention and would allow cross-border transportation of CO 2 with the aim of offshore geological storage in a broader geographical realm) must still enter into force. Despite proposals for how to resolve the lack of agreement on the London Protocol Amendment (112), it is unlikely to happen soon for various political and practical reasons (107,110). Figure 5 provides a timeline since the 1990s of milestones in the policy developments of CCS worldwide and in the most active countries.…”

Almost 20 years ago, the first CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) project began injecting CO 2 into a deep geological formation in an offshore aquifer. Relevant science has advanced in areas such as chemical engineering, geophysics, and social psychology. Governments have generously funded demonstrations. As a result, a handful of industrial-scale CCS projects are currently injecting about 15 megatons of CO 2 underground annually that contribute to climate change mitigation. However, CCS is struggling to gain a foothold in the set of options for dealing with climate change. This review explores why and discusses critical conditions for CCS to emerge as a viable mitigation option. Explanations for this struggle include the absence of government action on climate change, economic crisis-induced low carbon prices, public skepticism, increasing costs, and advances in other options including renewables and shale gas. Climate change action is identified as a critical condition for progress in CCS, in addition to community support, safe storage, robust policy support, and favorable CCS market conditions.

“…commitments would alleviate this uncertainty (Mikunda et al, 2011b transport designated for sub-seabed storage, but requires ratification of two-third of the contracting parties (28 out of 42) to enter into force (Mikunda et al, 2011b;Warren, 2012). To date, only the UK and Norway have ratified the amendment, and it is unlikely that two-third of the parties will have ratified the amendment in the near term for a number of reasons, amongst others because CCS has a low priority for several contracting parties (Garrett and McCoy, 2013 In Portugal, several provincial regions and municipalities crossed by a potential pipeline route have to give positive feedback on the project proposal, which is a very time consuming process (interview 2). Applying for permits in an early stage and labelling pipeline ventures as public interest projects can avoid delay of the project.…”

This paper provides a method to identify drivers, barriers and synergies (DBS) related to the deployment of a CO 2 pipeline network. The method was demonstrated for the West Mediterranean region (WMR) (i.e. Spain, Portugal and Morocco). The method comprises a literature review, analysis of embedded pipeline trajectories, interviews with experts, and workshops with stakeholders. Subsequently, the collected information was used to identify route specific DBS in several CO 2 pipeline network deployment scenarios that were modeled for the WMR. Most identified DBS apply to CO 2 pipeline transport in general. The barriers (e.g. technical knowledge gaps, outstanding legislative issues, lack of financial incentive) can in principle be tackled to make the design, construction and operation of a CO 2 pipeline network possible, but could sometimes lead to somewhat higher costs. Furthermore, there are also facilitating processes (e.g. experience with CO 2 pipeline transport for EOR). Cost benefits due to pipeline oversizing were identified as a route specific driver, whereas crossings of mountains, water and nature areas are route specific barriers. Installing CO 2 pipelines along natural gas pipelines could be either a route specific synergy or barrier, depending on site conditions. Finally, several key measures were proposed to enable CO 2 pipeline networks in the future.
