Rotterdam Climate Initiative (RCI) city region CO 2 reduction targets -50% vs 1990 by 2025 CCS plays a mayor role in the Dutch national reduction targets in general and in the Rotterdam targets in particular. 4
NW-Europe allows for short links between sources and sinks Several depleted gas fields become available and in due time incl. future aquifers: 50+ years of storage capacity for Europe. 04-10-11 5
Large scale CCS: when? Coal CCS: 75 /ton 2020-2025 Until then: pilots through subsidies: EERP, NER300 etc. 6
Driving down costs Sharing infra structure: simultaneously handling CO 2 from multiple parties Combining CO 2 flows lies in the nature of CCS: Power generation is responsible for 65%* of all green house gas emissions OECD/IEA Ref. Scenario 2006 2030 Total [TWh] 18921 33265 (+76%) Coal 41% 44% Nuclear 15% 10% Renewables 18% 23% Majority of sources are comparable regarding: Flow & conditions Compositions Characteristics Demands *): Reference Scenario in 2005 & 2030: resp. 61% & 68 % in CO 2 eq. terms
CINTRA CO 2 Hub concept Bulk making/breaking for off shore CO 2 storage Intermediate Storage Combine and link pipeline systems and barging/shipping routes: 4 routes Provide independent custody transfer metering for Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Network building block (at rivers and coast lines) Optimum CO 2 : -50 C, 7 bara 8
Rotterdam potential sinks 300 Mton CO 2 capacity K12B Other EOR Projects Taqa CO 2 from other ports 40 Mton CO 2 capacity Rotterdam ideally located for North Sea distribution Enough emitters for a launching scheme and good hinterland connection Dutch sinks are all within the 400 km range (>650 Mton) Rotterdam is Europe s largest harbour Contacts with various (EOR & non-eor) sink operators in the North Sea 04-10-11 9
CINTRA Partners: Providing a one stop shop from Capture flange to Storage well head On & off shore pipeline transportation Third part access Liquefaction at the Emitter s site or at the CO 2 Hub Temporary Storage of CO 2 (Un)loading vessels Custody transfer metering Liquefied CO 2 shipping to off shore sink Connecting to off shore offloading facility (buoy) On board gas conditioning up to sink requirements 04-10-11 10
CO 2 Hub Concept Advantages Good scalability: cost effective launching scheme Reliable: Multiple emitters & sinks in 1 system Cost reduction: enhanced oil recovery No NIMBY: no onshore pipelines and storage 04-10-11 11

Chain requirements: Logistic chain: options & modelling Upstream: ensure reliable CO 2 take off at the emitters Down stream: ensure reliable CO 2 availability at oil well Cases: A: 2 ships + 2 buoys -> one ships stays at the buoy for 1 week before the next one comes B: 1 ship + permanent off shore storage (either a floater or a platform) Question: which case is favoured when looking at Chain requirements: Annual amount of CO 2 captured & stored % of time CO 2 is available at oil well Required tank volumes on shore and off shore Required ship sizes Additional points of interest: Nr. offloading stoppages in winter time Capture & liquefaction units design capacity 16

Results & Conclusions CINTRA launching scheme: Case A: CO 2 shipping and off loading in rough wave climate can be performed in a reliable manner: off shore storage is not mandatory. Two buoys at sea are required to ensure steady operations. Larger ships improve the uptime but do not significantly decrease the number of oil production interruptions. Case B: Off shore storage will only slightly improve the CO 2 availability (96 -> 98%) but will reduce number of oil production stoppages from 12 times/year to almost never. Off shore storage capacity beyond 20,000 m 3 is ineffective. Reserving 15% of the onshore storage for the Air Liquide being the smallest emitter will allow for decreasing its capture unit s design capacity. General: Arena is suitable for modelling such a logistic chain. This model needs to be kept up to date after initial start-up in order to scope any chain debottlenecking as emitters & sinks are added to the system. 20
