How Co2 Capture and Storage Can Mitigate Carbon Leakage

Average Power Contracts Can Mitigate Carbon Leakage

The progressive relocation of part of the Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) out of Europe is one of the possible consequences of the combination of emission charges and higher electricity prices entailed by the EU-Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS). In order to mitigate this effect, EIIs have asked for special power contracts whereby they would be supplied from dedicated power capacities at aver...

Infrastructure planning for carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is seen as one of the key technologies for cutting CO2 emissions from coal power plants. It is proposed that carbon capture and storage could reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere from a modern power plant by approximately 80-90%. Building and operating infrastructure for capturing, transporting, and storing CO2, however, is forecast to be expensive. To gain a ...
