The Role of Coal in an “All of the Above” Energy Strategy CSIS Workshop: Revisiting the Role of Coal Dec. 17th, 2014, Washington, DC

Dr. S. Julio Friedmann Deputy Assistant Secretary Office of Clean Coal and Carbon Management

This is a time of fossil energy abundance

Once in a generation opportunity to build 2

Future of US Fossil Energy Demand and Generation • Fossil fuel will account for 75% of global primary energy in 2035 • Even with robust natural gas growth, coal remains a major fuel • Fossil Energy remains dominant share (68%) of United States electricity generation in 2040

Source: IEA 2013 World Energy Outlook

• With this continued use and growth is a need to address CO2 emissions

Source: EIA 2014 Annual Energy Outlook

Coal Use Growing Overall and Important in Many Economies Continued recent growth • China • Europe • India, Japan

Increased trade and exports Energy security • China • Eastern Europe

Increased CO2 emissions EIA Energy Outlook 20135

CCS/CCUS is the key technology for this era of fossil energy abundance Policy drivers • President’s Climate Action Plan • EPA 111(b) and 111(d) drafts: compliance option • State actions (AB32 etc.)

Technical findings (2008-present) • IPCC WG1 report: must read policy summary! • Continued GHG accumulations • Resilience challenges

Investors speak

CO2 is captured and concentrated from large sources; then injected deep underground Capture: Power plants and industrial sources • • •

Pre-combustion Post-combustion Oxyfired combustion

Storage: > 1km depth • • •

Porous & permeable units Large capacity Good seals and cap rock

Two main targets • •

Saline formations (~2200 Gtons capacity in N. Am.) Enhanced oil recovery (~100 B bbls addl. recovery)

Because of abundant fossil energy, clean coal technology remains a critical option “All of the above” required

CCS

Nuclear Power generation efficiency Renewables End-use fuel switching CCS End-use fuel & elec. efficiency

Clean coal, with CCUS, will be the cheapest option in many markets

Because coal will be used, CCUS required

DOE’s top CCS priorities Success of US commercial demonstration projects • Bring into operation 2013-2019 • A deep and rich set of public learning Reimagining the coal and CCS RD&D portfolio International Partnerships • China • Japan, Middle East • Other key partnerships

Clean Coal deployment: urgent and important Not just about cost • Costs are higher than plants without CCS • Costs are lower than many clean energy alternatives

Not just about technology • Many technologies are well demonstrated • Improvement potential is very large

Policy Issue: could finance many ways • Rate recovery; feed-in tariffs; direct grants • Clean energy portfolios; tax-free debt financing; others

Financing is the priority action 18

Loan Program Office: $8 billion for clean fossil LPO Advanced Fossil Energy Solicitation CARBON CAPTURE • From traditional coal or NG generation • Saline formations or EOR

ADVANCED RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT • ECBM, UCG, novel oil and gas drilling • Use of co-produced waste gases vs. flaring

LOW CARBON POWER SYSTEMS • Oxycombustion, chemical looping • Syngas-, H2, or NG-based fuel cells

EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS • CHP and waste-heat recovery • High-T or high-efficiency cycles

19

Cost, policy, and parity

Coal as CO2 supply for EOR: • Many 10’s of billions bbls US • 100’s of billions bbls worldwide • Provide revenues: break even for capital retrofit costs in 7-8 years!

>25B tons CO2 storage potential with EOR = ½ the US coal fleet for ~20 years Projected revenues Texas Clean Energy Project

Urea CO2 Power

21

CO2-EOR: Opportunities in power sector policy • EPA’s proposed NSPS under 111(b) sets CO2 limits for new natural gas and coal power plants • Compliance can be achieved using combined cycle technology in new natural gas power plants, or with CCS technology in new coal power plants

• Treatment of CCS technology in EPA’s proposed rule on CO2 from existing power plants (111(d)) is flexible • The proposal doesn’t require CCS technology per se, but states may have the flexibility to choose to comply using CCS

• Successfully building even a few CCS-EOR projects could have significant implications • Some coal retirements could be avoided • Emissions reduction, cost and fuel diversity benefits could be significant • Increasing domestic crude oil production could reduce dependence on foreign oil

Current “quick  look”   indicates that over 100 billion barrels of oil may be in-place in the ROZ “Fairway”.   Carm-Ann • So far current work in just four counties 0 in Texas indicate  1b0  billion  b ls….   work is required to establish its recoverability, economic feasibility and CO2 requirements. (Study should be out this fall) •

So far ROZ also present in: Saudi Arabia, North Sea, Wyoming..

Coal, CO2, and Negative C oil One can claim GHG reductions either from the source (e.g., power plant) OR from the produced oil. While both can’t be counted, one must be. • Conventional EOR uses 6000-7000 scf CO2/barrel • On molecular and mass-balance basis, this = 82-95% of C

• At roughly 7500-8000 scf/bbl, this is carbon neutral • Some EOR today uses >9000 scf/bbl: NEGATIVE C

• ROZ production requires 10,000-15,000 scf/bbl: NEGATIVE C

Viable feedstock for low-carbon fuel standards 24

International partnerships required Many platforms (APEC; G7; Boao; UNFCCC; WEC) CSLF: Multinational platform

11th CSLF Ministerial Nov. 2013

– 22 countries + E.C. – 11 years in practice – Productive technical and policy working groups

Partnerships in Commerce – Joint ventures – International investment – “Showcase” projects

Minister’s visit to Kemper project Nov. 2013

Accelerated deployment – Data sharing – International Science Projects

Changing International Landscape US-China Accord – Includes large CCS project – Includes enhanced water recovery projects

New EU accord – Policy Parity for CCUS and nuclear (also UNECE) – Innovation funds

New actors – UK: White Rose + – KSA and UAE: EOR + coal – Mexico: growing interest 26

China is the main event: for technology testing and project development • Coal use immense – – – –

67.5% of primary energy near 4B tons/y today ~6B tons CO2 from coal use Continued growth

• Substantial govt. interest – – – –

Pollution helps drive outcomes Chiefly interested in CO2 utilization Active under CCWG New investment in CCS & EOR

• Going for the gold – On technology, finance, construction

Technology leads and informs policy Must build and deploy large projects • Learning opportunity in CCS and clean fossil • Information sharing: partnership as product • Financing is the key challenge; many paths to success

Must develop 2nd and 3rd generation technology Must partner with many

Coal will be used CO2 must be controlled Time to build 29
