Topic(s): Economics, Liability, Permitting, Policy law and regulation
In 2008, the IEA concluded that, without CCS, the cost of attaining the 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, would increase by over 70% in the long term. On the basis of this, it is widely argued that investment in CCS would make the transition to a low-carbon economy substantially cheaper and more cost effective.
1. Financing CCS - Overview
This section gives an overview of the costs involved in financing CCS to reach the 2050 target and beyond.
