A Review of Existing Carbon Capture and Storage Cluster Projects and Future Opportunities

In this study different carbon capture and storage cluster projects have been reviewed based on their technical as well as business plan. The technical details for each cluster cover all of the key parameters relating to size, location, routing, technology choices, engineering and operation. In addition information on overall and unit costs was collected where available. Business plan for CCS cluster project evaluates not only what was in place, but also what would still be required to go commercial on a sustainable basis. Moreover, there were many potential CCS cluster projects yet to be developed, beyond the stage of initial identification of possibilities. Hence, identification of the best options in the regions for future CCS cluster projects was also considered. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
