Abstract

This study analyzes carbon markets in the U.S. and Canada, including enhanced oil/gas recovery (EOR/EGR) projects. The American Carbon Registry (ACR), a voluntary carbon market in California, and the Canadian Alberta Emission Offset System have methodologies for EOR and storage in saline aquifers. ACR also presented EGR. EOR-CCS projects demonstrated significant CO2 reductions, ranging from 1,748 to 7,675 million tons in the U.S. and 30 to 3,040 million tons in Canada. The EOR and hydrogen-production-linked CCS projects are representative CCS projects in Canada. CCS infrastructure construction, R&D, and demonstration projects of oil/natural gas-CCS-hydrogen are actively underway in the net-zero policies by the U.S. and Canada. CCS projects in the U.S. and Canada, which are linked to the supply of natural gas and hydrogen energy in Korea, can secure new overseas energy sources and dispose of the CO2 captured in Korea.

본 연구에서 석유/가스 회수증진 사업을 포함한 미국과 캐나다의 탄소시장 현황을 분석하였다. 미국 캘리포니아 배출권 거래제도의 감축실적으로 전환가능한 자발적 탄소시장인 American Carbon Registry (ACR)과 캐나다 앨버타 주정부의 온실가스 감축실적 시스템(AEOR)에서 석유회수증진과 염대수층 대상 이산화탄소 저장 방법론을 확인하였다. ACR은 천연가스 저류층도 저장소로 제시하였다. 미국의 종료된 EOR-CCS 사례에서 1,748~7,675백만 톤, 캐나다의 종료/진행 중인 사례에서 30~3,040백만 톤의 막대한 온실가스 감축량을 확인하였다. 석유회수증진 혹은 수소 생산 연계 사업이 캐나다 대표 CCS사업으로 현재도 추진되고 있다. 미국과 캐나다의 넷제로 정책에서도 석유/천연가스 생산과 CCS 및 수소생산과 연계하는 인프라 구축 및 연구개발, 실증사업이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내 천연가스, 수소 에너지 공급과 연계한 미국 및 캐나다 대상 CCS사업은 천연가스, 수소의 새로운 국외 공급원을 확보하고 국내에서 포집된 이산화탄소의 국외 처분 또한 가능하다.
