Some good to know information about CCS and CO2 emissions:
At Slipner (Norway), starting from 1996, around 1 milion tones of CO2 is pumped underground (in Utsira permeable formation)
The Carbon dioxiede may be geologically stored in deep saline formations, depleted or depeting hydrocarbon fields or unminable coal deposits?
In the temperature and pressure conditions at 800 – 1000 m depth, the CO2 has a volume 100 times smaler that at the earth surface?
In May 2009 the European Commission and Parlament have approved a 1.05 bilion euros allocation to sustain building of 7 power plants with CCS?
The CO2 concentration in the Earth atmpsphere has reached 390 ppm in 2009? Before the Industrial revolution that concentration was only 270 ppm?
The CO2 cocentration in atmosphere increases with 2-3 ppm every year?
Starting from 2008, China became the first mondial emmiter of CO2 with around 6 200 milion tons per year. In the second place is USA and on the third place is EU with 5 100 milion tones?
The biggest European stationary CO2 emmiter is Electrownia Belchatow power plant in Poland (31 milion tonnes in 2008)? On the second place is the Drax power plant in North Yorkshire.
In the global classification, Romania is on the 40th place as CO2 emitter with an allocation of around 85 milion tonnes?
The most recent assessment report from the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0.74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise.
Analyses of air contained in ice from the Antarctic ice cap show that there is far more CO2 in the air today than at any time in the last 650,000 years.
The most important so-called ”long-lived” greenhouse gases are CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and CFC's. In total they account for more than 97 percent of the direct effect of the long-lived gases on how much heat is retained in the atmosphere.
The US and China emit 41% of the world's greenhouse gases.
The Global CCS Institute projects database currently contains 499 CCS Activities worldwide that include 213 active or planned projects (101 at commercial scale) ,the rest being research activities.
