Title: Mapping the cost of CCUS Technologies: from partial capture to negative emissions
Abstract: According to the different climate change roadmaps (IEA, IPCC), Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) will
play a key role in the climate change mitigation policy. Its development raises a trade-off between the
deployment of large-scale projects (learning by replication), and the preservation of a large portfolio of
competing technologies (learning by diversity), on each of its steps (capture, transport, storage). By
now large-scale CCS projects are still few, most devoted to EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery). Although
EOR has provided a first feasible business model for CCS, CCS has still to prove its economic
viability on a large variety of carbon emitters (power plant, industrial and bioenergy sources). A
competing business model for CCS is to find other carbon uses and energy sources, better adapted to
medium and small carbon sources. The paper presents such a technological solution, the CO2
DISSOLVED project, which combines CCS in a dissolved state with geothermal energy.
