Does CO2-EOR reduce emissions?

Paul Zakkour

Carbon Counts was invited to the 7th IEA CCS Regulators Network meeting to present initial findings of its analysis on carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) and emission accounting. The research was carried out for the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme, with the objective of assessing whether net emissions from CO2-EOR can be accounted for under various policies that support emission reduction projects.

Our research focussed on accouting issues for downstream emissions arising from the refining and end-use of the incrementally-produced crude oil.

The paper takes the view that this is essentially an emissions leakage problem, and looks at options to address it from that perspective.
