Global but Regionally Disaggregated Accounting of CO2 Storage Capacity: Data and Assumptions for Compiling Regional CO2 Storage Capacity Supply Curves for Incorporation within ObjECTS->MiniCAM

摘要

This technical working paper lays out the assumptions and data sources used to calculate a regionally disaggregated assessment of the carbon dioxide (CO2) storage capacity of various geologic reservoirs. We present estimates of CO2 storage capacity in the following classes of reservoirs: depleted oil plays, coal beds, depleted gas basins, deep saline formations, and off-shore deep saline formations. CO2 storage capacity for each of these classes of candidate geologic reservoirs were estimated by consulting the technical literature or through our own technical judgment for the following regions of the globe: USA, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, the Former Soviet Union, China, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Korea, and India. Within each of these regions and for each class of candidate CO2 storage reservoir we have disaggregated the regional CO2 capacity into five grades of the resource. Each grade is described by its own cost of storage supply schedule. These data have been assembled so that we can employ a new version of the MiniCAM Integrated Assessment Model, known as ObjECTS-->MiniCAM. It is our intent to update this dataset describing the regional distribution of candidate CO2 geologic storage capacity as new information and also to bring this new knowledge into the evolving ObjECTS Integrated Assessment Model.
