ULCOS-BF: key figures Timeline: • Eisenhüttenstadt project approved December 2010 • NER-300 proposal filed in Paris on 9 February 2011, to cover the Florange demonstrator • Consortium Agreement under final stage of negotiation among members • start up 2013 in Germany and 2014 (BF) - 2015 (Storage) in France. 10 years of operation in France planned for 2016-2025 • permitting process launched for storage; FEED studies for the BF
Important milestones • exploration permit approved • start of site geophysical exploration • FEED studies for BF & pipeline • filing of NER-300 in Brussels • answer from the EU, etc.
Targets (demonstrator): • 700,000 t/yr stored for 10 years • 94% capture rate
Budgets: • still a regret solution…

Conclusion: innovation & risks • if the demonstrators are successful… • …and if the economic conditions for implementing the ULCOS routes are right… • … then deployment should follow up for most of the Steel Mills in Europe, and, eventually in the world, for the Steel Industry to meet its postKyoto targets • however, ULCOS was a research initiative, has turned into a demonstration initiative but it IS NOT a plan for reducing the emissions of the Steel sector!
