The Role of Carbon Capture Sequestration in a Long-Term Technology Strategy of Atmospheric Stabilization

摘要

In this paper, we examine the potential of carbon capture and sequestration technologies to make a significant contribution to national and global efforts to control carbon dioxide (CO_2) emissions. We examine the performance of these technologies under two alternative future energy-policy scenarios. We conclude that carbon capture and sequestration technologies could indeed play a significant role in reducing atmospheric concentrations of CO_2 and could reduce the costs associated with stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of CO_2 by 35
