Excerpt

Great expectations have come to be pinned on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in a short time, and progress is being made on several fronts including the continued building of the academic knowledge base. Yet looking back at the period since the IPCC (2005) Special Report on CCS, it is striking that many of the longstanding major questions about the prospects for CCS remain unanswered. They include continuing debates on choices among component technologies, on capital and operational costs, on long-term financing through carbon markets, and indeed on the overall feasibility and role of CCS as a large-scale climate mitigation measure. Crucially, the political resolve behind CCS also remains shaky. Increasing amounts of public funding for demonstration projects have been awarded, allowing growing numbers of demonstration projects to progress to more advanced stages of planning. However, confirmation of future funding beyond demonstration has become increasingly elusive following the global recession. Advances have been made in terms of designing and clarifying legal regimes for CCS, for example in the EU. But several legal barriers remain to be resolved, with for instance ratification of the amendments to the London Protocol and OSPAR still needed to enable some projects to proceed. The practical viability and maturity of the technology remain uncertain. …
