Workshop 1-3

#1 CO2 transport technologies, contractual frameworks and systems

Moderator: Stijn Santen, EBN

11:15-11:20 Welcome, objectives and setting the stage, Moderator

11:20-11:40 Kleopatra Avraam (Desfa), APOLLOCO2 – Building the next CCS hub

11:40-12:00 Anil Erdogdu (Aramis), From Validation to Delivery: De-Risking CO2 Transport in Aramis

12:00-12:20 Wouter Schiferli (EBN), Need for integrated modelling in CCS project development

12:20-12:40 Fred Lockwood (Oceos), LCO2 shipping/barging – Key considerations in project development

12:40-12:45 Closing remarks, Moderator

This workshop discusses the various aspects of a synergistic creation of CO2 transport systems, including mostly pipelines and shipping, which may come together in central CCUS hubs. Such systems will cover the integration of (cryogenic) capture technologies, CO2 compression and or liquefaction, pressurized warm CO2 gas and LNG terminals to reduce energy usage, emissions and OPEX. Model software simulations will show the optimization over the CCS value chain including CO2 injection and storage.  Development of contractual agreements balancing economy of scale, risk allocation and timely delivery  will be addressed in line with policies on CO2 infrastructure. Creating such systems will enable CO2 emission reductions of various industrial emitters while enabling the connected storage operators to meet their injection- and storage targets of CO2. This will also enable cost reductions through exploiting economies of scale.

 This workshop will explore key questions such as:

  • How can governments and industry use tools to design transport systems?
  • What challenges and opportunities face pipeline operators, shipping operators and key hubs such as ports?
  • How can the necessary investment and operations be successfully financed to speed up the development of CCS projects?

#2 Insuring CCUS and CDR projects

Moderator: Lesley Harding, Liberty Mutual

11:15-11:20 Welcome, objectives and setting the stage, Moderator

11:20-11:30 Rafaella Rossi (Equinor), Scene Setting:  CCS projects, risks, stakeholders and their liabilities, and need for insurance

11:30-11:40 Michel Krezner (SCOR), The challenge of insuring interdependencies

11:40-11:50 Hannah Jennings (Marsh), Approaches through insurance brokers

11:50-12:40 Moderated discussion and audience Q&A

12:40-12:45 Closing remarks, Moderator

This workshop will explore the role of the insurance sector in supporting the deployment of CCS and CDR projects. Through scene-setting presentations and focused discussions, participants will examine key risks across the CCS/CDR value chain from the perspective of insurers, identify challenges and market gaps, and consider emerging insurance products and partnership models. The session will bring together project developers, insurers, policymakers and researchers to clarify what information and frameworks are needed to build confidence on all sides, and to highlight practical steps that could improve risk allocation and expand insurance options.

#3 Driving large scale carbon dioxide removals

  • Hanna Ojanen (Carbo Culture)

12:00-12:20 Carbon markets as drivers for CDR

  • Danny Broberg (Stripe/Frontier)
  • Erik Rylander (Stockholm Exergi)

12:20-12:40 Role of government policy

  • Alexander Mäkelä (Carbon Gap)
  • Jason  Gadoury  (Canada)
  • Asser Berling (Denmark), The need for countries going net-negative

12:40-12:45 Closing thoughts, Eve Tamme, Zero Emissions Platform

Using the same technologies as point source CCUS, carbon dioxide removal is a distinct activity that aims to remove CO2 already in the atmosphere and permanently store it. This is a very fast-moving sector, where both technologies, government policies and markets evolve rapidly, with the aim to ramp the sector up to large scale by 2030. This session will paint a picture of the current status of CDR and how to accelerate its scale-up.

This session will be organized as a roundtable. A number of named speakers will intervene to kickstart sections of the discussion, which will look into: 1) how CDR is advancing in general, 2) how some key technologies and projects are advancing and how they can contribute to cost reductions, 3) how carbon markets, both voluntary and compliance, can be tuned and organized to drive large-scale demand and 4) how government policy should be set to drive development forward.
