Overview

CO2 storage capacity assessment of the Baltic Sea
Research collaboration with the Swedish CCS project (Bastor2) A first estimate on the geological storage potential of CO2 in the Baltic Sea
has been made: 16 Gt theoretical capacity
Existing geological data from oil exploration and geological maps were used for assessing the potential

than other CCUS options, for example:
Olivine-containing rock in Oman (350 × 40 x 5 km, ~30% olivine)
Could bind all fossil carbon
Available world-wide, hence increasing attention
No ”leakage” problems from carbonates

CO2 mineralisation in Finland For Finland the only CCS option in or
close to the country is CO2 mineral sequestration, at least 2-3 Gt capacity
Interest so far limited mainly to metal / limestone / mineral processing sector
Producing valuable solids is one economic driver
Cooperation with countries in a similar situation: Singapore, Portugal, Lithuania (South-Africa)
”Capture” appears to make CCS too expensive operate on flue gases directly!

Integration at an industrial lime kiln, no CO2 capture,
full flue gas compression to 80 bar ~ 20 bar CO2, 0.2~0.25 t CO2/h fixed,

Alternative route: MgSO4 carbonation in aqueous solution /1
+: No need to produce and carbonate Mg(OH)2
+: No CO2 capture stage, no NH3 injection in flue gas duct - : No carbonation heat can be recovered - : Product is hydromagnesite ~ only 4/5 of Mg carbonated

Conclusions CO2 mineral sequestration offers a leakage-free alternative for
CO2 underground storage worldwide; only option in Finland CO2 capture from oxygen containing gases isn’t ”taking off”, and
capture is more expensive than economically viable CC(U)S! no capture step, operate mineralisation directly on flue gas
ÅA staged process route: ~ 90 % Mg extraction from serpentinite + fast (~10 min) Mg(OH)2 carbonation ~ 70%
Energy input stand-alone ÅA route ~3 GJ/t, ≈ CO2 capture Application at lime kiln, no CO2 capture: ~ 0.9 GJ/t CO2 power in An alternative route with MgSO4 aqueous carbonation appears
simpler, no heat recovery from carbonation, though Finland & Sweden consider CC(U)S under the Baltic Sea:
