Potential impacts of CCS on the CDM
20th April 2011
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Policy law and regulation
The first result of this study is a marginal abatement cost curve (MAC) for CCS in developing countries for 2020. Based on existing MAC studies, the IEA CCS Roadmap and an overview of ongoing and planned CCS activities, we compiled three scenarios for CCS in the power, industry and upstream sector, as shown below. The major part of the potential below $30/tCO2eq (70 –100 MtCO2/yr) is in the natural gas processing sector. The most important region is the MiddleEast and North Africa, followed by Asia-Pacific. These MACs are relevant for gaining insight in how CCS opportunities in developing countries can be supported in 2020, under the CDM, other carbon credit mechanisms, or non-market instruments.
