Can CCS Help Protect the Climate?
Key Points
• Climate Protection requires a budget limit on cumulative GHG emissions.
• Efficiency, Renewable Electric, Biofuels, Electrification/FCV, CCS, Nuclear(?) all play a role.
• Each has challenges at scale.• Preserving climate budget options requires
immediate change in focus, especially for coal.

Energy policies will determine long-term temperature increase
Without further energy and climate policy action, we are committing to a trajectory leading to up to 6 degrees long-term temperature increase

Climate Budget Basics• To prevent global temperatures from rising
above any target level means limiting total cumulative GHG emissions in the next four decades.
• Uncertain what a “safe” target is but most focus is on 2 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
• Today we are at + 0.81°C.• But most of 2 degree budget is already
locked in by existing capital stock.

CCS Policy Needs
• Rigorous regulatory framework for siting and operating CCS repositories.
• Comprehensive monitoring and transparent reporting of repository parameters, including pressure regimes.
• Policies to deploy CCS at commercial scale: emission performance standards; carbon pricing; subsidies in early years.
U.S. Carbon Pollution Standard
• Proposed New Source Performance Standard” for CO2 from new fossil fuel fired power plants
• First national carbon pollution standard for stationary sources
• Builds on “endangerment finding” following Mass v. EPA Supreme Court decision
What U.S. CPS Requires
• 1000 lbs/MWh standard for new fossil fuel fired plants (NGCC and coal)
• Achievable by natural gas combined cycle plants
• Also achievable by coal plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) – 30 year compliance option
• EPA projects no added cost because forecasts show no new coal plants
Standards for Existing Plants
• 2.4 billion tons CO2 from existing plants each year
• Clean Air Act requires CO2 standards for existing plants (Section 111(d))
• EPA sets performance standards, states implement through SIPs
• Flexible compliance options

BENEFITS SWAMP COSTS
NOTES• Benefits from SO2 and NOX reductions estimated by extensively peer-reviewed dispersion model developed by Abt Associates to estimate health
impacts from power plants for EPA. Lower and Higher estimates based on different statistical relationships between pollution concentrations and health effects that are used by EPA. Value of statistical lives lost is the primary component of the monetary value of the estimated benefits.
• Lower carbon reduction benefit calculated with Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) of $26 per ton in 2020, reflecting the Administration’s current estimate, using a 3% discount rate. Higher carbon benefit calculated with SCC of $59 per ton in 2010, reflecting a discount rate of 2%. OMB recommends using a discount rate of 1-3% for inter-generational issues such as climate change. At a discount rate of 1%, the SCC is $254 per ton in 2010.
