Carbon capture and storage is seen as being able to make a significant contribution in this regard. The presentation will deliver a brief history of the development of carbon capture and storage technology, the various capture technology choices and trade-offs, the main pilots world-wide, the results of main demonstrators, the costs of carbon capture and storage, and the remaining challenges to reach commercial viability and full-scale implementation.
