Where is CO2 Storage Taking Place?

This is the Public version of the map - [ Switch to the Premier Version ]

It is designed as an interactive resource for the emerging CCS industry. We invite industry members to locate their relevant site on the google map and feed information into the map as their project progresses.

Key

	Sites which are currently injecting CO2
	Planned CCS sites. Generally plan on injecting at least 700,000 tonnes CO2 per year.
	Sites which have been cancelled or have completed injection.

How the map works

Click on a pin to find out more details about each site. Zoom in and out of the map using the + and - buttons on the top left. Hold the left mouse button to drag the map. Please use the tools to zoom into your relevant location. There are frequently multiple CCS sites located near each other and zooming into a location would reveal any hidden sites.

What sites are included on this map?

This map focuses on proposed full scale or large CCS sites around the world. 'Large' refers to the amount of CO2 that is planned to be injected. Any site planning on injecting over 700,000 tonnes CO2 per year has been included. 700,000 tonnes was picked as an arbitrary amount because of the large number of smaller research/demo plants. The smaller sites are of course significant, and will be added to the google map nearer the time that they go live.

How accurate is this map?

The information contained in these pages is, as at the date of its inclusion in these pages, believed to be accurate and free from error, but the author(s) provide no warranty to this effect, nor will the author(s) be liable to any party for the consequence(s) of any reliance placed thereon by such party, other than to the extent that the same shall result in a legal liability, unavoidable at law.

This CCS map is continually maintained in order to ensure that it is as up to date as possible. However, as this is a rapidly changing industry we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. If you do spot room for improvement, please send updates to Yasmin Bushby.

What is the ZEP CCS project list?

The European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP) published a study in November 2008 that outlined how rapid deployment of an EU-wide CCS Demonstration Programme can speed up EU deployment of CCS by 10 years and contribute to its commercial availability by 2020. Part of the work consisted of designing a list of criteria that the Programme should satisfy. To test the robustness of the criteria identified, an effort was done to build a list of large-scale EU CCS projects in the power sector that aimed to have a capture, transport, and storage component. The resulting list consisted of 43 projects and is published on this website. The robustness test was done on 34 out of 43 projects (9 projects where not taken into account because they were smaller than 100 MW, outside the power sector, or did not have sufficient information available at the time of the analysis) and showed that the majority of the criteria identified could be satified with a number of existing projects. For more information, please visit the ZEP website: http://www.zero-emissionplatform.eu.
