C02 CAPTURE PROJECT STARTS PHASE TWO.The CO2 Capture Project (CCP (Certified Computer Professional) The award for successful completion of a comprehensive examination on computers offered by the ICCP. See ICCP and certification. . 1. (language) CCP - Concurrent Constraint Programming. 2. ) has commenced the second phase of an important and strategic project to develop technologies that could mitigate GreenHouse Gas greenhouse gas n. Any of the atmospheric gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. greenhouse gas (GHG GHG Greenhouse Gas GHG Governor's Horse Guard (various locations) ) emissions. CCP is a Joint Industry Project whose participants are BP, ChevronTexaco, ConocoPhillips, Eni, Hydro, Petrobras, Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies (Shell) and Suncor. CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS (1) (Common Channel Signaling) A communications system in which one channel is used for signaling and different channels are used for voice/data transmission. Signaling System 7 (SS7) is a CCS system, also known as CCS7. See SS7. ) is a technique to capture and geologically store the CO2 associated with the use of energy derived from fossil fuels fossil fuel: see energy, sources of; fuel. fossil fuel Any of a class of materials of biologic origin occurring within the Earth's crust that can be used as a source of energy. Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. . CCS is gaining increasing support as an option for mitigating GHG emissions. The first phase of CCP (CCP1) cost $50 million and developed a range of technologies to reduce the cost of CO2 capture and provide assurance that CO2 can be securely stored geologically. Capture technologies include Pre- Combustion combustion, rapid chemical reaction of two or more substances with a characteristic liberation of heat and light; it is commonly called burning. The burning of a fuel (e.g., wood, coal, oil, or natural gas) in air is a familiar example of combustion. , Post-Combustion and Oxyfiring. Eight companies (BP, ChevronTexaco, EnCana, Eni, Hydro, Shell, Statoil and Suncor) and three governments (USA, EU and Norway) collaborated to manage and fund this technology development. CCP1 was completed in 2004 and the results are available via http://www.co2captureproject.org. The second phase of the project (CCP2) has now commenced, building on the achievements of Phase 1 by developing a focused suite of capture technologies to be ready for pilot testing by the end of 2007. CCP2 also aims to demonstrate that the geological storage of CO2 is secure and can provide an attractive GHG mitigation option. The project has already received initial funding from the US Department of Energy and the Norwegian Research Council and plans to build on this with additional government support, forming a strong public/private partnership.
