Frequently Asked Questions About CCUS

What is carbon capture and sequestration?

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCUS) is the process of capturing and safely storing atmospheric CO2 and carbon emissions produced through industrial processes.

Is the CO2 from Carbon sequestration injected in a gaseous or liquefied state?

CO2 has to enter the reservoir in a liquid supercritical state, however, there are cases where it is gas at the wellhead but becomes supercritical at the reservoir with pressure and temperature changes.

How long does a sequestration well last?

For Injectors, 20 years injection and 30 years monitoring. If the monitoring looks good, it allows for a faster P&A. For Monitor wells, it is 50 years, though local requirements vary. For example, California requires 100 years of monitoring.

What is the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Process?

Capturing and trapping the gas: It can be trapped after combustion , meaning it gets separated from other gases produced by burning fuel. It can also be captured before combustion, meaning it is removed from the fuel source before combustion occurs. A third method burns the fossil fuel in a power plant filled with pure oxygen.

Transporting the gas: Usually, the gas travels along pipelines above or below the ground or in the ocean. The pipelines might collect the gas from various sources along the way. At some point, the carbon dioxide may be transferred to a tanker before reaching its destination.

Storing the gas: One is to store it in reservoirs under the ground. When in underground storage, the carbon is held at a steady temperature and exists in a state somewhere between a liquid and a gas. Another possibility is to store carbon dioxide in the ocean. When stored deep beneath the ocean’s surface, the gas would be denser than water and would remain at the depths of the ocean for years.
