GETICA CSS

GETICA CCS is a governmental demonstration project, officially sustained by the Prime Minister, coordinated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and the Business Environment – METBE and supported by Global CCS Institute.

 

 

 

 

Location

• Oltenia region - the most energy intensive region at national level, responsible for
  about 40% of the total amount of CO emissions at national level (24.5 Mtpa CO2 );
• TURCENI Energy Complex - existing power plant, local lignite-fuelled, 4x330 MW;

 

Technical features

• Integrated CCS Demonstration Project;
• 1.5 Mtpa CO captured, transported and safely stored 2;
• 85% minimum removal efficiency from the flue gases Capture - 330 MW power
  unit, in TURCENI Power Plant - Unit no.6, under retrofitting and operation lifetime
  extension;
• Transport - onshore underground pipelines, with about 40m total length;
• Storage - deep saline aquifers geological formations (more than 800 m) within a
  radius of 50 km from TURCENI;

 

Feasibility Study Donor

• The Global CCS Institute, Australia offers a 2.55 mil. EUR grant for GETICA CCS
  Demo Project FS;

 

GETICA CCS Project Company

• TURCENI Energy Complex - future CO Capture Plant operator 2;
• TRANSGAZ, National Company for Natural Gas Transport - future CO Transport 2
  Infrastructure operator;
• ROMGAZ, National Company for Natural Gas Exploitation - future CO Storage 2
  Facility operator;

 

Feasibility Study Technical Consortium and Support

• Romania - ISPE (Institute for Studies and Power Engineering) - Project Management and Technical & Financial Consultant for capture plants integration and transportation pipelines;
• Germany - Alstom Carbon Capture GmbH - Capture Plant Technology;
• Romania - GeoEcoMar - CO Geological Storage Technological Consultant 2;
• France - Schlumberger Carbon Services - CO Geological Storage Technology 2;
• UK - INTETECH - CO transportation pipelines corrosion and materials 2;
• France - OXAND – Risk assessment;

 

Development stage

• On-going Feasibility Study;
• NER300 Application Forms was submitted on 9th of February to the Romanian
  Government - METBE;

 

 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

• §Climate change mitigation measure, as a complementary solution within Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency portfolio;
• Contribute to outcome climate change consequences, thus Romania meeting its national CO emissions 2 mitigation targets;
• Romania will transpose the EU directives, especially Energy-Climate Change Package.

 

ECONOMIC IMPACT

• §Opportunity to develop new climate neutral coal-fired PPs and maintain operational the existing retrofitted fossil PPs, including the mining exploitation sites;
• Increasing geopolitical security by consumption of coal versus gas suppliers dependency;
• Extension of the CCS technology for all the power producers in the region (over 4,000 MW) and other energy intensive industries (metallurgical, chemical etc.);
• Potential to develop the CCS transport & storage infrastructure for the industrial CO emitters in the 2 region, at country and cross-border levels, by extending the CO storage capacity in deep saline aquifers 2 geological formations and depleted oil and gas reservoirs from Oltenia region;
• PPs with CCS are a stable addition to the fluctuating energy supply from solar and wind power plants.

 

SOCIAL IMPACT

• New jobs created all along the project stages – design, EPC, O&M and monitoring for the Capture / Transport / Storage facilities;
• Capacity building programs developed at institutional level;
• New educational programs implemented in colleges and universities;
• Training programs developed for all future operators of the CO capture plant, transport pipelines 2 network and storage sites monitoring.
