International CCS Knowledge Centre's representative comments on Petra Nova’s carbon capture system

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 -- The recent news that the carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at Petra Nova suspended its operations is concerning.

“As we try to advance CCS globally to see rapid and meaningful cuts in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, any project that gets shut down at this point, particularly when they are capturing successfully, is a step backwards for CCS,” commented Beth (Hardy) Valiaho in a statement on behalf of the International CCS Knowledge Centre.

Beth (Hardy) Valiaho is the Vice-President, Strategy & Stakeholder Relations representing the International CCS Knowledge Centre.

NRG’s & JX Nippon’s CCS initiative at Petra Nova, located in Texas, at the W.A. Parish Generating Station, was not only successful in its project delivery in 2016, and recipient of Power Engineering’s  Project of the Year (2017), but also had continued to operate successfully capturing 90 per cent of CO₂ emissions.

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, large-scale, emissions-intensive, industrial and power generation processes must be significantly decarbonised. 

To meet reductions of this magnitude, there needs to be accelerated progress in the commercial-scale deployment of CCS across a wide variety of applications, including industrial processes, such as cement and steel; and power generation such as coal and natural gas.

Achieving emissions reduction goals is the result of using the right policies with large-scale investments in clean energy, including CCS technologies.

It is important that there is a value stream and a business case to support successful deployment of CCS that is tied to sustainable and environmental policies.
