Cost and Performance of Carbon Dioxide Capture from Power Generation / Matthias Finkenrath. Paris : IEA, 2011, 51 p.http://www.iea.org/publications/free_new_desc.asp?pubs_ID=2355This working paper evaluates cost and performance trends related to  carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from power generation, based on extensive  analysis of data from major engineering studies published between 2006  and 2010. Since individual studies use different methodologies and  boundary conditions, study estimates for over 50 CO2 capture  installations are re-evaluated on a consistent basis and updated to  current cost levels.The paper discusses the need for further  standardisation of evaluation methodologies and additional data for  specific CO2 capture routes. Further analysis for non-OECD countries is  considered crucial for global energy scenario models, and for improving  the skills and knowledge developing countries need to evaluate the role  of CCS in their national energy contexts.
