Ervia is assessing how Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), located close to large-scale CO2 emitters can play a role in reducing Ireland’s CO2 emissions. As part of this endeavour, Ervia obtained EU Project of Common Interest (‘PCI’) status for both the Ervia Cork CCS Project (as a project promoter) and the Northern Lights CCS transport project (as a project partner) in 2019.
A technical feasibility study on the potential for large-scale CCS in Ireland was completed by Ervia in 2020. The study was a high-level review of available CCS technologies (carbon capture, transport and intermediate onshore storage) and considered their feasibility for use in Ireland. Two emitter cluster case studies were identified. One of these was in the Whitegate / Aghada area of Cork Harbour. The other was in Poolbeg, Dublin Port.
On the basis of the project’s PCI status, part funding was subsequently obtained by Ervia under the EU’s Connecting Europe Fund (CEF) to carry out a Pre-Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) study of the emitter clusters identified above.
Ervia appointed RPS / Bechtel to carry out this Pre-FEED study. It has involved a detailed assessment of the key infrastructure necessary to gather gaseous CO2, liquify it and temporarily store this liquid CO2 at Cork Harbour and Dublin Port for subsequent loading onto ships for export.
The objective of the Pre-FEED study was to develop the design of the facilities to achieve a well-developed process design basis to enable the production of an AACE Class 4 cost estimate for each location.
