NET CO₂ EMISSION REDUCTIONS FROM ANTHROPOGENIC CO₂-EOR
Summary
The document argues that CO2-EOR delivers net emission reductions on a life cycle basis, estimating that every barrel of EOR-produced oil emits 37% less CO2 than conventional oil and every tonne of CO2 utilized in EOR nets a 0.63 tonne emission reduction.
Key insights
- On a life cycle basis, oil produced through CO2-EOR results in a net emission reduction of 0.19 tonnes of CO2 per barrel, which is 37% less than the 0.51 tonnes of CO2 emitted by a barrel of conventionally produced oil on a "well-to-wheel" basis.
- Life cycle analysis indicates that each tonne of CO2 utilized in EOR results in a net emission reduction of 0.63 tonnes of CO2, meaning 63% of all CO2 stored through EOR represents a net reduction in emissions.
