A large-scale CCS demonstration project is being undertaken by the Japanese government in the Tomakomai area, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, starting from FY2012 and continuing until FY2020. CO2 injection commenced in April 2016, and as of July 2017, around 66,000 metric tones of CO2 has been stably and safely injected. CCS - "A Bridging Technology for the Energy of the Future" is not a replacement for renewable energy but instead aims to more quickly address carbon dioxide emissions while renewable energy capacity can be built and optimized. In this paper, we provide an overview and describe the progress of the Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project.
