Optimal deployment for carbon capture enables more than half of China's coal-fired power plant to achieve low-carbon transformation

Lin Yang et al.

Summary: Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is crucial for achieving global net-zero emissions, but its deployment falls short of expectations. This study reveals that the optimal deployment of CCUS for China's coal-fired power plants towards carbon neutrality will occur between 2030 and 2035. East China shows the highest potential, and the cost of second-generation capture technology will decrease over time.

Financing coal-fired power plant to demonstrate CCS (carbon capture and storage) through an innovative policy incentive in China

Lin Yang et al.

Summary: This study explores a non-fiscal incentive policy of granting extra electricity quotas to finance early CCS demonstration projects in China. It finds that coal-fired power plants can operate at a profit with CCS retrofitting if provided with extra electricity quotas, with the necessary quota ranging from 4709 to 7260 hours per year during the demonstration stage.

Low carbon policy and market mechanisms to enable carbon capture and storage and decarbonisation in Australia

Nicole Heesh

Summary: The scale of decarbonisation required to meet global emission reduction targets necessitates exploration of every available abatement technology. The study used a levelised cost of electricity approach to identify optimal market-based mechanisms for supporting CCS deployment. A carbon-constrained capacity and inertia market was determined to be the preferred pathway for the deployment of CCS technologies from an investment viewpoint.

The water footprint of carbon capture and storage technologies

Lorenzo Rosa et al.

Summary: Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is an important technology to reduce fossil CO2 emissions and water footprint assessment shows that Bioenergy with CCS has the highest water footprint per tonne CO2 captured. Diversified portfolio of CCS technologies in climate mitigation scenarios have lower impacts on water resources. Water-scarce regions should prioritize water-efficient CCS technologies in their mitigation goals.

A 2050 perspective on the role for carbon capture and storage in the European power system and industry sector

Franziska Holz et al.

Summary: The deployment of CCS in Europe depends on the development of low-cost power generation technologies with carbon capture and sufficiently high CO2 prices to compensate for infrastructure costs. The joint use of CO2 infrastructure by different sectors allows for economies of scale and density, enhancing the feasibility of CCS deployment towards 2050.

Catchment-level water stress risk of coal power transition in China under 2°C/1.5°C targets

Haoran Li et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of low-carbon transition of China's power sector on catchment-level water resources, highlighting significant variations in power supply mix under different socio-economic pathways and carbon emission targets. The findings show that coal power continues to pose a severe risk of water stress without carbon emission targets, with a substantial reduction in water stress risk under the stricter 1.5 degrees C target for coal-fired power plants in north China. The synergies between reducing carbon emissions and alleviating water stress risk in China's power sector are evident, but regional risk should be considered when aiming to achieve carbon reduction targets.

Policy options for funding carbon capture in regional industrial clusters: What are the impacts and trade-offs involved in compensating industry competitiveness loss?

Karen Turner et al.

Summary: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technically feasible solution for deep decarbonisation, but faces challenges in adoption due to concerns over competitiveness and cost requirements in industries. Implementing CCS may lead to trade-offs across different sectors and employment, depending on market responses to changing wage and unemployment rates.
