迄今为止的研究已经确定，成本和缺乏利益攸关方的支持是发展能够有效缓解气候变化的二氧化碳捕获和储存行业的两个主要障碍。本文通过对橡子CCS项目的研究和开发过程进行系统评估来应对这些挑战，橡子CCS项目是一个旨在开发英国东北海岸可扩展的全链CCS项目的项目。通过对橡子公开产出的评估，我们确定了可能有助于提高早期CCS项目可行性的策略。初始资本成本可以通过基础设施的再利用（特别是管道）以及石油和天然气勘探活动期间获得的描述地下情况的数据的再利用来最小化。此外，在不同的活动阶段（例如基础设施再利用和投资于新基础设施的不同阶段）开发项目，可以降低未来扩建阶段的成本。此外，区域一级决策者的参与可能有助于通过将CCS置于区域脱碳叙述中来建立利益攸关方的支持。我们认为，这些见解可以转化为任何CCS项目的一般目标，共享类似的特点，如遗留的基础设施，产业集群和参与的企业主基础，是从事化石燃料行业。(C)2019由Elsevier Ltd.出版
Research to date has identified cost and lack of support from stakeholders as two key barriers to the development of a carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) industry that is capable of effectively mitigating climate change. This paper responds to these challenges through systematic evaluation of the research and development process for the Acorn CCS project, a project designed to develop a scalable, full-chain CCS project on the north-east coast of the UK. Through assessment of Acorn's publicly available outputs, we identify strategies which may help to enhance the viability of early-stage CCS projects. Initial capital costs can be minimised by infrastructure re-use, particularly pipelines, and by reuse of data describing the subsurface acquired during oil and gas exploration activity. Also, development of the project in separate stages of activity (e.g. different phases of infrastructure reuse and investment into new infrastructure) enables cost reduction for future build-out phases. Additionally, engagement of regional-level policy makers may help to build stakeholder support by situating CCS within regional decarbonisation narratives. We argue that these insights may be translated to general objectives for any CCS project sharing similar characteristics such as legacy infrastructure, industrial clusters and an involved stakeholder-base that is engaged with the fossil fuel industry.
