Fuel – environmental issues
‘Fuel penalty’ has implications for:
• Use of a finite resource
• Socio-economic impacts
• GHG and other emissions
• Occupational risk
Fuel transport has implications for:
• GHG and other emissions
Delivering sustainable solutions in a more competitive world
CO2 transport/pipelines
Additional pipelines associated with:
• Temporary land take and ecological impact
• Temporary socio – economic impact
• Risk of rupture and consequent hazard
• Energy use through compression

CO2 storage
• Use of offshore reservoirs associated with risk of:
• Leaks to seawater and effect on ocean pH
• Accidental release at the wellhead
• Onshore reservoirs associated with:
• Leakage, rupture and risk to humans/ecosystems

Summary of environmental issues
• Most impacts are modest – but widely distributed
• Some impacts are unknown and constitute risks
