Our third Ipieca carbon capture and storage (CCS) webinar of 2019 will explore the concept of coupling CCS with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to deliver a low-greenhouse gas intensity source of oil. Such a technology would have to clearly measure and verify this intensity with a full life cycle analysis which includes the source of the CO2. Care would also need to be taken with 'double-counting' of emissions reductions.
Our presenters Wolfgang Heidug, Senior Research Fellow and Colin Ward, Research Fellow from KAPSARC, the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre, will provide a perspective on technical and policy opportunities and challenges of this approach.
