Abstract

It is acknowledged that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential among all the available cost-effective pathways to combat climate change, in particular the negative emission technologies (NETs) can be considered essential to keep global warming far below 2C. However, due to a number of technical, financial, and commercial difficulties, it has not yet been implemented on the scale that is believed to be necessary. The current status of CCS, role of CCS, important postcombustion capture technologies along with next-generation capture pathways are discussed. The light is thrown on NETs and on the perspectives for possible commercialization of CCS. This chapter offers a viewpoint which is significant because it balances commercial, political, and scientific interests. The marketable and administrative obstacles to the extensive application of CCS are analyzed while taking into account the barriers to deployment and recent experience from global CCS commercialization efforts. We concentrate on finding and stating the main research issues that may be resolved in the next 10 years in all of these fields.
