Modeling the Costs of Carbon Capture
Erin Baker, Gregory Nemet, Peter Rasmussen
Abstract
Examines the primary concepts required to model intertemporal carbon capture costs. Authors follow a technical overview of post-combustion, pre-combustion, and alternative combustion carbon capture technologies with a description of cost measures that allow for side-by-side comparison of competing technologies.
Carbon capture cost measures include capital cost per unit output power, levelized electricity cost (LEC) and CO2 avoidance cost. The relationships between these cost measures are mathematically explored and cost data for several carbon capture technologies obtained from a survey of the literature are provided.
