CO2 prices: re-thinking the costs?
…model is that many of the technologies that need to be incentivized have a much higher incentive price than $100/ton. As an illustration, some of the direct subsidies currently offered…
Mass extinctions: insights into systemic risk?
…of the world’s forests since pre-industrial times, over half of some blue carbon eco-systems and threatening up to 1M species. Solving this problem is the direct rationale for nature-based solutions…
The World’s Great Gas Fields and Their CO2
…it is no longer acceptable to vent the separated CO2 into the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage costs range from $80-130/ton while we estimate the overall CO2 intensity of natural…
Shale EOR: Container Class
…tabulates key statistics for using CO2 as a huff-n-puff injectant, the economic opportunities for carbon capture, but also the challenges. Pages 12-13 attempt to quantify the production upside from shale…
