“…Permanent containment of CO2 streams is the ultimate objective of risk management. It should however, demonstrate how an event of leakage would be managed in order to prevent it leading to significant adverse consequences for the marine environment, human health and other legitimate uses of the maritime area (Kim et al, 2016;OSPAR, 2007;Paulley et al, 2013;R. Pawar et al, 2014).…”

The aim of this article is to analyze the particular contributions provided by the Risk Assessment and Management framework to the CO2 geological storage process on the offshore oil and gas sector. The CO2 geological storage, inherent to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities, is characterized as an effective mitigation option to reduce the levels of this gas in the environment. The risk assessment allows the identification of the most significant risks and impacts, respecting the facilities characteristics, the geological conditions of the basin and the associated natural processes, assisting to propose measures that reduce the probability or the magnitude of their occurrence. Then, this analysis requires an understanding of the stages of the frameworks for Risk Assessment of CO2 storage streams in geological formations of the main international organizations, based on studies of the literature reviewed for these purposes. In fact, the risk management procedures are necessary to maximize the intended isolation and to minimize the effects of possible CO2 leakage. Finally, the results demonstrate a consistent relationship between the Risk Assessment and Management tool and its frameworks specificities for this activity.

“…Another attempt to decarbonize gas is the steam reformation with fossil fuels: For this, fossil natural gas is reformed (or thermal cracked in the future 21 ) and the resulting CO2 is (not completely) captured and injected into old offshore gas fields. This process is also known as CCOS (Carbon Capture and Offshore Storage) (Kim et al 2016;Cumming et al 2017).…”

This paper discusses the potential role of fossil natural gas (and other gases) in the process of the energy transformation in Europe on its way to complete decarbonization. Mainstream conventional wisdom has it that natural gas, perhaps in combination with other gases, should maintain an important role in the energy mix, fir st, as a "bridge fuel", and then through a gradual transition towards decarbonized gases. This is most comprehensively rolled out in three consecutive discussion papers by Jonathan Stern from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies (2017bStudies ( , 2017aStudies ( , 2019. Based on an in-depth assessment of the ambitious climate targets of the EU and the subsequent need for far-reaching decarbonization, as well as on results from energy system modeling, a contrasting result emerges, where the disappearance of fossil natural gas and its corresponding infrastructure is the next logical step of the transformation process in Europe. The lack of an economic perspective for nuclear power and the absence of a plausible deployment of large-scale carbon-dioxide removal technologies (CDR) imply that natural gas has no "sweet spot" any longer in the decarbonization process. In other words: Fossil natural gas is no longer part of the solution to the challenge of climate change, but has become part of the problem. Over the last years, the phasing out of natural gas in Europe has already started, and will continue until its complete phase-out, most likely in the 2040s, i.e. only two decades from now. The decline of natural gas in Europe has implications for the short-and longer-term aggregate and sectoral energy mix, but also for the future of the lumpy infrastructure, that has been developed over the last decades for a growing market.Today, investments into natural gas infrastructure are likely to produce stranded assets, as we show in three concrete cases: The € 10 bn. investment into the North Stream 2 pipeline are not necessary to assure European supply security, nor to make a return on investment; projects of new LNG terminals on the shore of the German North Sea (Brunsbuettel, Stade, Wilhelmshaven) lack a business case; and new natural gas power plants are likely to be unprofitable. The paper proposes to replace the dominant narrative ("natural gas in decarbonizing European energy markets") with what we consider a more coherent narrative in the context of decarbonization: Fossil natural gas exit.

“…Key papers include Humez et al [36] (d = 190), who reviewed existing geochemical monitoring and tracing tools for shallow freshwater aquifers, complemented by an overview of sensitive indirect detection methods (which have not been applied in the field) as an avenue for further research, and Mayer et al [37] (d = 182), who reviewed and recommended an isotopic composition of CO 2 as a suitable tracer at large CO 2 injection sites. Key papers within a second group, those of general analyses (72 papers, 8.5%), included Jenkins et al [38] (d = 187), who examined the progress in monitoring and verification regarding the containment, conformity, and environmental impact, as well as Kim et al [39] (d = 75), who conducted a critical review of the environmental impact monitoring of the offshore storage of CO 2 , and recommended further research from a marine ecosystem perspective. Field F1.3 (153 papers, 18% of C1) encompassed a variety of risk assessments.…”

For many years, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been discussed as a technology that may make a significant contribution to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. At present, however, only two large-scale power plants capture a total of 2.4 Mt CO 2 /a. Several reasons are identified for this mismatch between expectations and realised deployment. Applying bibliographic coupling, the research front of CCS, understood to be published peer-reviewed papers, is explored to scrutinise whether the current research is sufficient to meet these problems. The analysis reveals that research is dominated by technical research (69%). Only 31% of papers address non-technical issues, particularly exploring public perception, policy, and regulation, providing a broader view on CCS implementation on the regional or national level, or using assessment frameworks. This shows that the research is advancing and attempting to meet the outlined problems, which are mainly non-technology related. In addition to strengthening this research, the proportion of papers that adopt a holistic approach may be increased in a bid to meet the challenges involved in transforming a complex energy system. It may also be useful to include a broad variety of stakeholders in research so as to provide a more resilient development of CCS deployment strategies.
