Carbon capture and storage: an approach to understanding potential risks and their cost implications

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Economics

This analysis is intended to help industry make informed investment decisions, to be useful in the further development of laws and regulations governing CCS, and to better inform the public in whose communities CCS projects may be operated. This analysis will also be useful in considering policies to address the long-term stewardship of CO₂ in geologic formations. CCS projects are longlived. In a typical large project, CO₂ injection might take place over a 30–50 year horizon and the CO₂ must stay securely in the formation for much longer.
