The Norwegian newspaper VG brought attention to some of the international reactions on the delay of Mongstad this weekend. The industry, scientists and political authorities word themselves carefully. But it is clear that the decision to postpone the fullscale project by four years untill 2018, and not the least the reasons given for this, is a dissapointment and is seen as a setback for the international development of CCS.

Investeringsbeslutningen om fullskala CO2-fangst på Mongstad utsettes i revidert nasjonalbudsjett til 2014, slik regjeringen varslet 1.mai 2010. Utbyggingstiden på anlegget er anslått til om lag 4 år, som da gjør at anlegget først vil være ferdig i 2018.

Regjeringen har i dag utsatt investeringsbeslutningen på Mongstad fra 2012 til 2014. Det er Stortingsvalg i 2013, noe som gjør at dagens utsettelse i praksis betyr at man overlater beslutningen til et nytt Storting. I mellomtiden vil Mongstad fortsette slippe ut 2,2 millioner tonn CO2 årlig frem til 2018, utslipp tilsvarende 900 000 biler.

In a recent publication, Ehlig-Economides & Economides (E&E) have sought to demonstrate that carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is not technically or economically feasible, based on a supposed lack of underground storage capacity. This publication has recived a lot of atention and used as a new argument against CCS. A group of CO2 storage specialists has gone through this publication and written a response to this. Their conclusion is that they consider this publication to be a serious misrepresentation of the scientific, engineering and operational facts surrounding CCS. The response is published by The European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP)

UK Parliament have adopted The Energy Act which creates a new CCS Levy that will be charged on electricity supplies.
