@article { , title = {Acorn: developing full-chain industrial carbon capture and storage in a resource- and infrastructure-rich hydrocarbon province.}, abstract = {Research to date has identified cost and lack of support from stakeholders as two key barriers to the development of a carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) industry that is capable of effectively mitigating climate change. This paper responds to these challenges through systematic evaluation of the research and development process for the Acorn CCS project, a project designed to develop a scalable, full-chain CCS project on the north-east coast of the UK. Through assessment of Acorn's publicly-available outputs, we identify strategies which may help to enhance the viability of early-stage CCS projects. Initial capital costs can be minimised by infrastructure re-use, particularly pipelines, and by re-use of data describing the subsurface acquired during oil and gas exploration activity. Also, development of the project in separate stages of activity (e.g. different phases of infrastructure re-use and investment into new infrastructure) enables cost reduction for future build-out phases. Additionally, engagement of regional-level policy makers may help to build stakeholder support by situating CCS within regional decarbonisation narratives. We argue that these insights may be translated to general objectives for any CCS project sharing similar characteristics such as legacy infrastructure, industrial clusters and an involved stakeholder-base that is engaged with the fossil fuel industry.}, doi = {10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.06.087}, eissn = {1879-1786}, issn = {0959-6526}, journal = {Journal of Cleaner Production}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Info via Scopus alert 4th July, checked 12/7/2019 LM) PERMISSION GRANTED (version = AAM: embargo = 12 months; licence = BY-NC-ND; SHERPA = http://sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/0959-6526/ ) DOCUMENT RECEIVED (AAM rec'd 15/7/2019 LM)}, pages = {963-971}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Elsevier}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/321670}, volume = {233}, keyword = {Carbon capture and storage, Infrastructure re-use, Stakeholder engagement, Just transition, Full-chain CCS, Cost-reduction}, year = {2019}, author = {Alcalde, Juan and Heinemann, Niklas and Mabon, Leslie and Worden, Richard H. and de Coninck, Heleen and Robertson, Hazel and Maver, Marko and Ghanbari, Saeed and Swennenhuis, Floris and Mann, Indira and Walker, Tiana and Gomersal, Sam and Bond, Clare E. and Allen, Michael J. and Haszeldine, R.
