Carbon dioxide quantification and verification across the CCS Value Chain
Abstract
This Standard will describe the measurement methodologies to quantify the mass of CO2 and CO2 stream (see ISO 27913 for definition of CO2 stream and ISO 27914 for quantification and verification of CO2 related to geological storage) transferred across the CCS chain and to measure the level of impurities in the CO2 stream. This standard will encompass the entire Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) chain, spanning from the initial capture, transportation and subsequent injection into a geological reservoir. It will also include measurement methods for batch transportation such as shipping, truck, and train loading/unloading. The standard will provide guidelines on available technologies for measuring the flow rate, mass of CO2 or quantity of CO2 in mass flow rate, and composition of the CO2 stream. Moreover, will establish the technical requirements for the instrumentation employed in the measurement process and the allocation methods across the integrated value chain including metering and reconciliation. The standard will also delineate the methodologies and requirements for quality assurance and verification. This will ensure the establishment of measurement quality before installation and its consistent maintenance throughout the operational phase in a standardised way. The standard will provide standardised methodology for quantification and accounting of the carbon dioxide transferred across the CCS chain. It should be noted that the standard will not detail requirements for greenhouse gas emission reporting, which are covered by existing standards and by national regulations. It should be noted that this standard will cover the measurement of carbon dioxide streams at the geological storage injection points, but will not cover the measurement, monitoring and verification (“MMV”) for integrity of the storage complex which are covered in subsurface related standards and therefore will be dealt with in the Working Group (WG) for Storage.. The primary objective of this report is to produce precise, standardized technical guidelines and specifications that underpin the implementation of regulations, commercial contracts, and fiscal transactions in the realm of CCS.
