Sub-surface risk assessment for the Endurance CO2 Store of the White Rose Project, UK

摘要

Between September 2013 and November 2015 Capture Power Limited and National Grid Carbon Limited, undertook a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for the White Rose Carbon Capture and Storage Project. The project planned to construct an oxy-fuel power plant at Drax, Yorkshire, England, and transport high-purity CO2 produced by the plant via a c.135 km long pipeline to a location c.75 km offshore from eastern England. There, it was planned to inject the CO2 into an underground "saline aquifer" storage reservoir, the Endurance CO2 Store. A thorough risk assessment provided confidence that the store would contain CO2 permanently.
