Opportunities and Challenges for Carbon Capture and Sequestration

The document argues that carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a critical option for stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations, though its deployment is hindered by the need for policy incentives, flexible regulatory frameworks, and funding for large-scale demonstration projects to lower costs and resolve technical uncertainties.

• Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is viewed as a critical tool for the eventual stabilization of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and limiting carbon dioxide emissions.
• The deployment of CCS faces three primary challenges: the lack of policy drivers to incentivize use, the absence of flexible regulatory frameworks, and the need for funding for large-scale demonstration projects to reduce costs and technical uncertainties.
• Addressing the policy, regulatory, and financial hurdles is considered a prerequisite for improving the public acceptability of CCS technology.
