2021 is proving to be a busy year for CCS policy in the United States. With the year not yet one third over, Members of the House of Representatives and Senate had already introduced five bipartisan bills that aim to accelerate the deployment of CCS. This brief details the contents of those bills and explains the rationale behind their policy proposals.

More broadly, though, Senior Advocacy & Communications Adviser, Matt Bright, uses this brief to examine the three pillars of CCS policy that undergird the advance of this technology in the U.S. In addition, this brief gives the reader a grand tour of U.S. CCS policy history from its inception to the present day in order to paint a complete picture of how strong policy can accelerate the deployment of CCS. In this way, the U.S. CCS policy landscape can be viewed as a lens to magnify the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for global CCS deployment in the coming decades.

For CCS to fulfill its potential in reducing significant global emissions, this technology must be deployed in all parts of the world. Yet there are currently very few CCS projects in developing countries.

This report was commissioned by ClearPath and Southern Company to examine the role of climate finance in supporting CCS project development in developing countries.

It investigates:

• The support afforded to existing CCS facilities;
• Reasons for the lack of deployment in developing countries;
• How to overcome CCS investment risks; and
• Relevant global climate finance mechanisms to support the deployment of more facilities.

It was found that while there is a very high need for CCS in several developing countries, their level of readiness for CCS deployment is low. Climate finance has an important role to play in both, improving their level of readiness as well as closing the funding gap in developing CCS projects.

The urgency of reaching net-zero emissions requires a rapid acceleration in the deployment of all emissions reducing technologies. Near-zero emissions hydrogen (clean hydrogen) has the potential to make a significant contribution to emissions reduction in the power generation, transportation, and industrial sectors.

As part of the Circular Carbon Economy: Keystone to Global Sustainability series with the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA, this report explores the potential contribution of blue hydrogen to climate mitigation.

The report looks at:

• Cost drivers for renewable hydrogen and hydrogen produced with fossil fuels and CCS;
• Resource requirements and cost reduction opportunities for clean hydrogen; and
• Policy recommendations to drive investment in clean hydrogen production.

Blue hydrogen is well placed to kickstart the rapid increase in the utilisation of clean hydrogen for climate mitigation purposes but requires strong and sustained policy to incentivise investment at the rate necessary to meet global climate goals.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are essential technologies to help achieve net zero ambitions. The cost of deployment of CO₂ capture, transport and storage systems is of vital economic and environmental importance. This importance will continue to increase as the scale and breadth of CCS deployment grows around the world.

As part of the Circular Carbon Economy: Keystone to Global Sustainability series with Columbia University's SIPA Center on Global Energy Policy, this report examines CCS technology from two perspectives: technology readiness and factors influencing costs.

Key drivers of CCS cost include:

• Economies of scale;
• Partial pressure of CO₂ in the source gas;
• Energy costs; and
• Technological innovation.

Mature and emerging technologies in carbon capture, transport and storage are surveyed for technological readiness. Technological development will be a key element of driving future cost reductions in CCS and applying CCS to hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel and direct air capture.

With the transition to a low-carbon economy steadily underway, CCS is becoming recognised as a tool that compliments the wide array of climate approaches being utilised to reach climate neutrality. The role of emission reductions and removals in the mitigation of climate change will change over time. It is widely agreed that emission reductions should be prioritised on the pathway to net zero. This, however, will change once net zero emissions are achieved; net zero is a point on the journey, not the final destination. Carbon removal will become the main driver of climate ambition in the second half of the century.

In this brief, Senior Policy Advisor with the Global CCS Institute, Eve Tamme, explains the dual role of CCS in climate change mitigation, and provides an overview of the two technological carbon removal approaches that use CCS: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS). Along with highlighting the varied applications of CCS, this brief also includes a summary of ongoing challenges and opportunities tied to carbon removal related policy development.

文献：「Replacing 10% of NSW Natural Gas Supply with Clean Hydrogen: Comparison of Hydrogen Production Options」（邦題「豪州ニューサウスウェールズ州における天然ガス供給10%をクリーン水素に置き換える：水素生産オプションの比較」）

クリーン水素は、グリーン水素の場合は再生可能エネルギーを利用し、ブルー水素の場合はCCSと組み合わせて化石燃料を利用することのどちらかによって、生産されます。

クリーン水素の最も費用効果的な生産方法を見極める中で、Coal Innovation NSW（豪州ニューサウスウェールズ州石炭イノベーション：CINSW）は、ニューサウスウェールズ州における天然ガス供給の10%をクリーン水素に置き換えた場合の生産費用に関する調査をグローバルCCSインスティテュートに委託しました。

この調査は、ニューサウスウェールズ州のガス供給網において容量比で10% H2：90% CH4（天然ガス）ミックスを達成するために十分なクリーン水素を生産し、かつ現在天然ガスのみで供給されているのと同量の総エネルギーを供給するシナリオを検討しています。検討されたオプションは、天然ガス改良とCCSの組み合わせ、石炭ガス化とCCSの組み合わせ、及び、再生可能電力を利用した水の電気分解でした。調査の結果、ニューサウスウェールズ州においてクリーン水素を生産する最適オプションは、費用、規模、資源利用、排出量低減効果を考慮すると、CCSと組み合わせて石炭ないしガスを利用することでありました。

Ahead of the 2020 G20 summit, the Global CCS Institute was asked to contribute to the Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) Guide, organised by KAPSARC. In a report titled 'Remove: Carbon Capture and Storage', Alex Zapantis assesses the value of CCS as an effective climate mitigating technology that aims to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and support the establishment of a circular carbon economy.

The report was discussed during a live webinar hosted by KAPSARC.

At the request of the US Department of Energy, The Global CCS Institute undertook an examination of the significance and the extent of the influence of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings in supporting investment in CCS project deployment.

The objective of this study was to consider the following five questions:

• How does a company’s ESG rating impact the company?
• How does a company’s CO₂ footprint or exposure impact its ESG rating?
• How is CCS considered when the ESG performance of a company with a large CO₂ footprint or exposure is rated?
• Do the positive impacts of CCS (if any) on a company’s ESG rating support the business case for investing in or financing CCS?
• How does climate litigation and public policy impact corporate risk and ESG ratings?

The resulting assessment addressed each of these questions, to provide a clearer picture of the complex relationship between the development and scope of ESG ratings, the impacts of a company’s ESG performance and ultimately, whether this will influence future investment in CCS.

Over the past year, the outlook for CCS has been positive, particularly in the United States (US). Thanks to broad bipartisan support at both the federal and state level, CCS in the US has seen growth exceeding that of any other nation.

Additionally, the Institute has seen an increase in new stakeholders looking to engage and explore the role of CCS in their emissions reduction strategies. These new stakeholders include sustainable investors who believe CCS projects can deliver strong returns while achieving environmental goals and mitigating climate change risk.

These new market entrants, however, often share a common concern; the need to de-risk CCS for investment.

This briefing will serve to summarise ongoing work by the Institute to communicate and educate stakeholders on the potential risk characteristics of CCS and to discuss these in the context of de-risking CCS investments and addressing challenges from a US perspective.
