The report commissioned by the Global CCS Institute explores the potential of CCS to contribute to a low carbon world and the policies that could support this contribution. The report compares cumulative CO2 emissions and the contribution of CCS and the probability of exceeding 2°C in selected mitigation scenarios reviewed by the World Bank Group (WBGU) and the carbon prices in US$ per tonne of CO2 equivalent source. The report also provides assumptions on cost and efficiency penalties by power generation type, cost differences between plants with and without CCS taken from Rubin et al. (2015), and cumulative emissions captured via CCS. The report suggests that the evolution of thinking on innovation processes has moved from a linear model to a systematic model.
