This article surveys recent studies on costs, potential barriers to implementation and marketability of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS). Moreover, it discusses potential incentive schemes to push CCS into the market and, finally, provides an overview over cost types and forecasting uncertainties associated with these.
The surveys conducted in this article deal mainly with studies that have been published after the "IPCC special report on carbon dioxide capture and storage" in 2005. Comparison of recent studies with those discussed in the IPCC report provides insights into the latest development of the economic, political and social environment of CCS.
