2. Further Information
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Project Description | Shell and SSE are developing a CCS demonstration project at Peterhead gas power plant, retrofitting post-combustion capture to one of three 385 MW turbines at the existing facility. CO2 will be transported by offshore pipeline (mostly existing) for storage in Shell's Goldeneye depleted gasfield. In 2012 the storage project was granted the first UK licence for permanent sub-sea geologic storage of CO2. In March 2013 the project was selected as one of two preferred bidders for FEED study funding under the UK Government's Commercialisation Programme. The FEED study contract was signed 24/02/2014, FID expected late 2015. FEED study contracts awarded to Technip for onshore aspects, Wood Group Kenny for pipeline and sub-sea, Mott Macdonald for project management, Shell handling study for platform. June'15 - UK Gov starts publishing Knowledge sharing reports; planning permission granted for onshore aspects. Nov 2015, HM Treasuary withdraws capital funding from Commercialisation Competition putting any further progress of project in serious doubt, Shell state project will not now proceed beyond FEED study committments. (Updated 11/01/16) (Note: A previous BP-led project involving the use of captured CO2 from Peterhead for EOR in the Miller field was abandoned by BP in 2007 after the delay of a Government subsidy award.) |
