Carbon capture and storage in industrial product value chain: An economic assessment of the impact of carbon capture and storage in the industrial product value chain: from industrial production to final product

This research provides insight into the implementation of CCS in industrial production from a consumer perspective (i.e., the cost impact on the final product). The impact of implementing CCS in two different industries (e.g., cement and steel) to produce a final product is analyzed. Also, this research provides insight into CCS implementation...

Assessing the contributions of the Y-factor in evaluating CO2 abatement options

The starting point of the thesis is that national CO2 policy options are complex. In other words, that there are non-economic factors that are play at the implementation of the CO2 options. Why do some CO2 options not materialize in the market, despite favorable economic conditions? Current methods for answering such questions are strongly...

Understanding barriers to CO₂ abatement: The Y-factor applied

Barriers to CO₂abatement impede their materialisation. In this research the Y-factor was used in expert interviews to gather information on the barriers to the materialisation of four abatement options in the Netherlands: Insulation, Carbon Capture Storage, Biofuels and Geothermal energy. The potential of these options for the...
