CCS: which CO2 sources?Coal-, gas- or biomass-fired power
Biomass conversion
Cement
Iron/steel
Refineries
Natural gas production (“Sweetening” of gas)
Ammonia production
Ethylene production

CCS has many challengesEnergy requirements for capture
• Making it unattractive in countries with energy shortages
Limited storage potential
• Best in oil/gas producing regions
Costs, absence of incentive
Risk of impermanent storage
Legal framework
Environmental impacts
Public perception
• CCS is mature in some sectors and regions, but in the demonstration phase in others
• Analysis shows lower global mitigation cost with CCS than without it, though costs are high
• Some industries cannot achieve deep emission reductions without CCS
• The only reason to do CCS is CO2 reduction
• CCS has not much to do with access to energy
• But can be part of an industrial development strategy
