Embedding CCS infrastructure into the European electricity system: A policy coordination problem
Nadine Heitmann, Christine Bertram and Daiju Narita
Abstract: Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has recently been
receiving increasing recognition in policy debates. Various aspects of
possible regulatory frameworks for its implementation are beginning to be
discussed in Europe. One of the issues associated with the wide use of CCS
is that it requires the establishment of a carbon dioxide (CO2) transport
network, which could result in the spatial restructuring of power
generation and transmission systems. This poses a significant coordination
problem necessitating public planning and regulation. This paper reviews
the recent literature on energy system modeling pertaining to the problem
of installing CCS-related infrastructure throughout Europe and also
discusses the policy issues that need to be addressed for a potential wide
implementation of CCS in the next decades
Keywords: CCS (carbon dioxide capture and storage), the European Union, climate policy, energy system models, cost effectiveness; (follow links to similar papers)
