ICC executive summary on challenges to the implementation of new technologies: the case of carbon capture and storage (2007)
Publication date : 28/11/2007 | Document Number : 213/48
The Need for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Full use of the range of abatement technologies will be key to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and timely manner. CCS is a technology with a very great potential contribution to abatement efforts – the IEA estimates a 20% contribution to 2050 and more thereafter – and will be an essential option in coal-endowed countries that lack alternative energy sources. Some technologies have already been excluded from recognition under crediting regimes, such as nuclear under the Clean Development Mechanism, and the status of CCS is yet to be determined.
