CCS Talks: The Technology Cost Curve
4th June 2020
4 June 2020 - 9:00 (Washington) / 14:00 (London) / 15:00 (Brussels) / 22:00 (Tokyo) / 23:00 (Melbourne)
Overview
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a proven set of technologies currently in operation at 19 large-scale facilities and many more smaller scale projects and installations. However, some claim that the technologies' cost has been one barrier to deployment. In this webinar we will discuss a series of FEED studies which demonstrate lower costs for established technologies. We will also explore new technologies that are being tested in the US and Europe that could provide more diverse applications and, possibly, even lower costs. We will be joined by several technology providers and also discuss the Global CCS Institute's reviews of technology as highlighted in our recent The Global Status of CCS report.
