Abstract:
This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Reportprovides information for policymakers, scientists and engineers in the
field of climate change and reduction of CO2 emissions. It describes
sources, capture, transport, and storage of CO2. It also discusses the
costs, economic potential, and societal issues of the technology, including
public perception and regulatory aspects. Storage options evaluated
include geological storage, ocean storage, and mineral carbonation.
Notably, the report places CO2 capture and storage in the context of
other climate change mitigation options, such as fuel switch, energy
efficiency, renewables and nuclear energy. This report shows that the
potential of CO2 capture and storage is considerable, and the costs
for mitigating climate change can be decreased compared to strategies
where only other climate change mitigation options are considered. The
importance of future capture and storage of CO2 for mitigating climate
change will depend on a number of factors, including financial incentives
provided for deploymen
