Shell and SSE are looking to develop the world’s first full-scale gas carbon capture and storage (CCS) project – the Peterhead CCS Project. The project is part of the UK CCS commercialization competition and has recently started its Front End Engineering Development phase. Up to 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions could be captured from the Peterhead Power Station and transported by pipeline offshore for long-term storage deep under the North Sea. The scope is:

The test center employs two near industrial scale CO2 capture plants that can each be tested against two separate, live flue gas sources. The center is a joint venture between the Norwegian Government and international energy companies Statoil, Shell and Sasol. 4000 on line measuring points provide data to verify post combustion CO2 capture performance in a wide operational window. Test results provide enhanced confidence in CCUS technology and will greatly help drive these technologies down the cost curve.

The Atlantic Wind Connection is an offshore, undersea transmission line that will span the mid-Atlantic region, beginning in northern New Jersey and eventually extending to southern Virginia. The transmission line will connect wind farms that are built in the federally-designated “Wind Energy Areas,” at least ten miles off the coast. Bob Mitchell, CEO of the Atlantic Wind Connection and Trans-Elect, and Pierre Bernard, Managing Partner of Bernard EnergyAdvocacy, will provide an overview of the project and its significance for the future of East Coast electricity transmission.

Nexant’s proprietary World Gas Model will be used to analyse the impact on the world gas market of LNG exports from North America. How much will be exported, which markets will it go to and what are the implications for gas pricing in different markets, especially Europe and Asia Pacific. The impact of differing levels of LNG exports on the North American market will also be assessed.

Energy storage is widely seen as a key element of any sustainable energy future scenario. In the last few years, storage technologies have seen an increase in deployments across the United States and internationally, but are still an emerging suite of technologies. What storage technologies are currently available for commercial use? Which technologies under development hold the most promise for different storage applications? Please join experts from the U.S. Department of Energy and EPRI for a discussion on the current and future status of energy storage technologies.
