16、the full technology value chain.Executive SummaryModeling studies suggest reaching U.S.energy transition goals will require capturing and storing 400 to 1,800 million tonnes(MT)of carbon dioxide(CO2)annually by 2050,through both point-source carbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS)and carbon dio
17、xide removal(CDR).iToday,the U.S.has over 20 million tonnes per annum(MTPA)of carbon capture capacity,15%of what could be needed by 2050.1,ii,iii This scale-up represents a massive investment opportunity of up to$100 billion by 2030 and$600 billion by 2050.Americas 20 MTPA of capture capacity alread
18、y leads the world in carbon management,and the U.S.is an attractive policy and resource environment for further deployment.An increase in the value of the 45Q tax credita federal tax credit provided for stored or utilized CO2has provided a greater incentive and more certainty to developers and inves
19、tors and is likely to yield attractive returns for several types of projects.ivIn addition,recent climate and infrastructure legislation has provided$12 billion in funding to support U.S.carbon management projects.The U.S.has excellent geology for storing CO2,world-class engineering and professional
20、 talent,and relatively abundant low-cost zero-carbon energy resources that can power carbon dioxide removal(CDR)projects to maximize net carbon removed.Many large-scale carbon management projects are already proving financially attractive today with enhancements to the federal 45Q tax credit,and inv
21、estors have raised billions to take advantage of these opportunities.v,vi These investments range from early-stage equity investments in carbon capture technology providers to large-scale private equity-backed investments in CO2transport infrastructure.This report outlines the path to meaningful sca
22、le in carbon management,which we expect to develop between near-term and longer-term opportunities through 2030(Figure 1.).2,3,41.For near-term(through 2030)opportunities,projects in industries with high-purity CO2streams(e.g.,ethanol,natural gas processing,hydrogen)have the best project economics.M
23、any of these types of projects are in active development or are already in operation.Large-scale transportation and storage infrastructure is likely to emerge to serve these projects.These developmentsalong with some promising demonstration projects in higher-cost carbon management applications(e.g.
24、,steel,cement)will lay the foundation for more widespread deployment by establishing best-practices in contracting,financing,permitting,community engagement,labor agreements,workforce development,and,in some cases,through building out common carrier transport and storage infrastructure that future p
25、rojects can use.2.For longer-term(post-2030)opportunitiesindustries with lower-purity CO2streams and distributed process emissions project economics must improve to make widescale deployment likely in the absence of other drivers(e.g.,regulation).Demonstration projects from now through 2030 can supp
26、ort cost declinesboth through learning-by-doing and standardizing project development structures.And increased policy support(either via regulation or incentives)or technology premiums for low-carbon products(e.g.,low embodied carbon steel and concrete)would lead to more CCUS and CDR projects.5These
27、 end-user-backed technology premiums combined with sustained and predictable government support can provide consistent revenue streams as deployment experience reduces costs.1Note:Any use of“tonnes”in this report refers to metric tonnes;references to MTPA refer to million tonnes per annum2 Data in t

48、ementThe challenges facing widespread deployment of carbon management are real but solvable.Estimated project economics for CCUS retrofits on higher-cost-to-capture applications(e.g.,cement,and steel)will not lead to widespread deployment without cost or revenue improvements or additional policy.Fur
49、ther demonstration projects in these sectors can enable faster Capital Expenditure(CapEx)cost reductions through commercial standardization,modularization,and technology improvements.6DOE demonstration funding could spur cost improvement in these sectors.In CDR,voluntary carbon markets can be unpred
50、ictable and inconsistent,and long-term prices and volumes remain uncertain.Even with high expected growth,voluntary markets may be insufficient to support the scale of deployment required to achieve U.S.net zero goals.Increasing the transparency and certainty of the voluntary and compliance markets
51、for CDR can increase market support.Two factors could create long-term revenue sources:(1)regulations that favor CDR deployment and(2)increased technology premiums for CDR driven by end-user demand.Project funding and demand-side market support from DOE could help stabilize the market for CDR develo
52、pers and investors.Across CCUS and certain types of CDR,the need for multi-party agreements(e.g.,between emitting facilities,capture providers,transport providers,and storage facilities)and a lack of commercial standardization complicate project development.Potential solutions include creating arche
53、typal,field-tested business models and terms to enable the development and execution of partnerships.Private sector leadership and DOE-supported“hubs”for direct air capture(DAC)and CCUS could simplify project development by creating standard commercial arrangements that simplify the development proc
54、ess.7Permitting dedicated geologic storage projects(e.g.,Class VI injection wells)may be seen by developers and investors as a long and uncertain process.Congress provided funding to EPA through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law(BIL)to support the federal Class VI permitting program as well as to pr
55、ovide grants to states,Tribes,and territories to pursue and implement Class VI primacy applications and programs.EPA anticipates approximately two years from receipt of completed Class VI applications to issuance of a permit and has developed a series of tools to help streamline the permitting proce
56、ss.viiA lack of common-use transport and storage infrastructure could hinder development and may encourage uncoordinated or duplicative source and storage matching.Projects developed today can build out CO2transportation networks and storage facilities that can serve as shared infrastructure for fut
57、ure carbon management projects located nearby.DOE will support development of shared storage facilities and transport infrastructure through Bipartisan Infrastructure Law(BIL)funding.Some groups oppose CCUS projects or policy support for them and others are unfamiliar with the technology.ixAddressin
58、g these concerns,including environmental justice considerations,requires commitment to responsible carbon management from policymakers and industry to build trust with communities considering carbon management projects.Developers must anticipate,listen to,and address stakeholder concerns through ear
59、ly,substantive,and transparent engagement on the benefits and risks of these projects.DOEs Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management(FECM)has launched a domestic engagement framework to outline its vision for successful engagement.The framework serves as the guiding principles to ensure that tan
60、gible environmental,economic,and social benefits flow to communities.Additionally,DOE has added requirements for carbon management funding opportunity applicants to incorporate community engagement;diversity,equity,inclusion,and accessibility;environmental justice;and quality jobs plans into their a
61、pplications and project plans.6CCUS and certain CDR technologies have significant OpEx expenses(roughly 50%of levelized costs)in the form of energy and material inputs.These persistent OpEx costs make the dramatic total cost declines observed in fuel-free energy technologies like wind and solar unli

83、 projects in operation today and well over a hundred are in stages of project development.xiThe costs associated with a carbon management project vary based on the type of facility CCUS is applied to or the CDR technology utilized,as well as several regional and facility-specific factors that can dr
84、ive variation in the cost associated with capturing,transporting,and storing or using a ton of CO2.9Costs for a specific carbon management project could vary even outside of the ranges outlined in this report depending on facility-specific characteristics and energy prices that can have a significan
85、t impact on the ultimate cost of deployment.In this report,“near-term”and“longer-term”opportunities refer to an economic analysis of carbon management projects under the current policy and regulatory environment and is not meant as a comment on the technical feasibility of these projects.Awide portf

91、Section 2.a:Technology landscapeThe carbon management value chain is broadfeaturing different methods and technologies at each stage(i.e.,capture,transport,utilization,and storage).Capture represents the majority of costs for most projects,while robust transport and storage or utilization networks a
92、re necessary to make projects viable.The U.S.leads the world in CCUS capacity(over 20 MTPA),driven by CO2from high-purity sources,coupled with incidental geologic storage through enhanced oil recovery(EOR).The U.S.has enough geologic storage capacity for trillions of tonnes of CO2;enough to store th
93、e entirety of U.S.emissions for hundreds of years.xiiThough storage resources are abundant,they must be characterized and developed to become commercially operational,and some in industry point to the permitting process to develop storage sites as a bottleneck to accelerated deployment in the U.S.CD
94、R technologies have less commercial deployment experience relative to CCUS,with limited technological CDR capacity in the U.S.today.A recent spate of announced projects and investments could drive cost declines over the next decade.CO2transport systems to link capture and storage sites require scale
95、-up.Current estimates suggest that 30,000 to 96,000 miles of pipe could be required to meet net zero goals by 2050(vs.5,000 miles of U.S.CO2pipelines operating today.)Beyond certain niche applications,CO2utilization pathways are nascent and currently uneconomic relative to incumbent products.Deploym
96、ent incentives such as the 45Q tax credit also provide a greater revenue source on a per-tonne basis for dedicated geologic storage relative to utilization.There are three main parts to the carbon management value chain:CO2capture(from both point-sources and the atmosphere),transport,and storage or
97、utilization(Figure 3.).Key participants in the value chain include large incumbent firms,startups,companies in emitting industries,EPC firms,CDR credit buyers,and transport and storage providers.10 A range of other players also interact with and facilitate the carbon management ecosystem,including t
98、he communities in which projects operate,the labor force that builds and operates projects,investors,landowners,and voluntary carbon marketplaces.10 Mostly large amine-capture companies,including oil and gas(e.g.,Exxon)and industrial companies(e.g.,Mitsubishi);Mostly technology driven start-ups in n

134、ees that take in CO2as they grow to direct air capture(DAC)facilities that function like CCUS but treat ambient air instead of flue gas.The permanence of different CDR approaches vary widely:while trees may offer centuries of durable storage under some conditions,they are subject to risks of reversa
135、l,such as infections,infestations,wildfires,and logging;whereas geologic storage is expected to last 10,000 years.xxiThis section focuses on the higher-permanence removals with more established(but still nascent)approaches for monitoring,reporting,and verification(MRV)of removals.Credits for emissio
136、ns stored by CDR technologies can be sold in the voluntary carbon markets(VCM)to help companies or other institutions reach their emissions reductions goals.Companies can subtract these removal credits against any emissions they do not reduce directly.With 40 pilot-scale projects and 100 thousand to
137、nnes per year(KTPA)of global capacity,technological CDR has seen limited commercial deployment to-date(Figure 7.).xxiiMany planned projects are DAC demonstrations prompted by BIL funding,IRA incentives,and the willingness of a few credit buyers to pay high prices.Many researchers expect policies suc
138、h as a carbon tax,large-scale government procurement of CDR,or regulatory mandates will be needed to reach relevant scale.The FY2023 Congressional Omnibus budget report directs DOE to“establish a competitive purchasing pilot program for the purchase of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere.”xxi
139、iiThe levelized costs of the CDR approaches discussed in this report are generally higher than for point-source CCUS,due to the relatively dilute concentration of atmospheric CO2.14Investments in R&D,scale-up,and operational efficiencies are needed to lower costs and provide certainty for CDR techno
140、logy and project developers(Figure 8).Determining the precise climate benefits of some CDR technologies can be challenging.Lifecycle assessment(LCA)and MRV of removals of various CDR technologies will require further validation and standardization to ensure proper measurement of removed carbon.Direc
141、t air capture(DAC)The DAC process intakes or passively exposes air,which reacts in a contactor to bind CO2.The CO2is then separated from the DAC equipment,compressed,transported,and stored or used.The capture agent is then regenerated,usually with heat,which requires a significant energy supply,befo
142、re it is then recycled for additional capture.Today,solid sorbent and liquid solvent technologies have seen the most demonstration activity,though both approaches are still nascent.While liquid solvents are expected to be lower-cost today compared to solid sorbents,it is uncertain which technology w
143、ill be lower-cost as more projects develop.15,xxiv Other regeneration processes and capture materials(e.g.,electric-and moisture-swing solid sorbents,and membrane processes)are also emerging,with some potentially overlapping with enhanced mineralization(see below)16.Biomass with Carbon Removal and S
144、torage(BiCRS)BiCRS refers to using biomass(i.e.,plant matter)as a capture vehicle since plants take in CO2as they grow.17Like other CDR approaches,BiCRS is in its nascency.The two most prominent BiCRS processes so far are BECCS(bioenergy+carbon capture,utilization,and storage)and biochar/bio-oil.Bio
145、mass-to-hydrogen presents another BiCRS pathway and can include biomass gasification or fast pyrolysis to produce hydrogen with capture and storage,potentially resulting in net-CO2removal on a lifecycle basis,depending on the feedstock production and processing emissions.xxvBECCS refers to using bio
146、mass to produce heat,power,fuels,or other products and then capturing and using or storing the point-source emissions.Biochar and bio-oil are carbon-rich solids and liquids that are produced by decomposing biomass at high temperatures(i.e.,pyrolysis.)While bio-oil with geological storage has high du
147、rability,biochars storage durability is more uncertain,and depends on use case and elemental composition.xxviAvailability and sourcing of low-GHG biomass or biomass that yields a net-GHG reduction are key challenges for BiCRS scale-up.14 The CO2-purity of the flue gas stream is representative of tho
148、se from power plants and industrial installations(IPCC AR6 WGIII 12.3.1.1 2022).15 Liquid solvent costs are currently estimated to be$170250 per tonne CO2compared to solid sorbent costs of$365740 per tonne CO2;2050 cost estimates are$70125 and$65145 per tonneCO2,respectively(Coalition for Negative E
149、missions)16 For example,some technologies utilize limestone-based solids to adsorb CO2from air and regenerate.In general,DAC will refer to technology-based CO2capture from air,even if the sorbent is similar to those used in ex-situ enhanced mineralization 17 BiCRS does not include so-called“nature-b
150、ased solutions”like afforestation or reforestation12Pathways to Commercial Liftoff:Carbon ManagementMineralization(also known as enhanced mineralization)Mineralization is a natural process where CO2reacts with an alkaline feedstock(e.g.,containing Ca2+or Mg2+)to produce a carbonate,creating a stable
151、,solid mineral.Potential feedstocks could be alkalinity-rich geologic formations(e.g.,basalt andperidotite)or in alkaline industrial wastes(e.g.,mining wastes,steelmaking slag).The mineralization process has three primary variations:(1)in-situ,where CO2-rich fluids are injected into subsurface alkal
152、ine minerals,(2)ex-situ,whereby alkaline feedstocks are reacted with CO2in reactors at high temperature and/or pressure,and(3)surficial,in which alkaline material is reacted with CO2at ambient conditions or via sparging of high-purity CO2at low pressure.xxviiIn-situ mineralization can be paired with
153、 DAC for permanent storage.Certain components of mineralization can also be used in DAC technologies and there is some uncertainty in technology classification.For example,some technology developers are commercializing passive mineralization DAC technologies that repeatedly produce calcium carbonate
154、 by exposing calcium oxide to atmospheric CO2then employ renewable heat to produce a high purity CO2stream and a regenerated calcium oxide that can again capture CO2.xxviii5K4K65KLab and pilot scale 77 M25M1.9M+8 MEarlier scale projects#of projectsTotal capacity,TPA CO2Permanence,yearsCurrent capaci

178、domes with active oil fields,new pipeline routes will be needed to link emissions sources to geological storage.19CO2pipelines near the Gulf of Mexico and other areas can be repurposed to deliver captured CO2emissions instead of geologic CO2sourced from natural domes.Recently,new pipeline projects i

184、 are generally more expensive($3560 per tonne22).Still,rail,truck,and shipping may be important for certain applications in areas where pipeline access is not feasible.CO2transport by ship requires a loading facility and temporary storage on land.23,xxxivThis method is currently used on a small scal

224、oirs,such as CO2domes.lxi,lxii,lxiiiAs industrial and atmospheric capture capacity expands,captured CO2that would have gone into the atmosphere could displace naturally occurring CO2in EOR operations.Using anthropogenic emissions for EOR can produce oil with lower lifecycle carbon emissions because
225、of the carbon initially stored to produce it.LCA performance willvary over the lifetime of a well and between wells based on well-specific practices and characteristics,but some propose a rule of thumb of 40%lower lifecycle carbon emissions per barrel of oil produced.lxiv,lxvSection 2.a.vi Utilizati

238、 CDR developmentSeveral policies support the buildout of CCUS and CDR infrastructure in the U.S.Inflation Reduction Act(IRA)45Q The 45Q tax credit is the largest and most certain incentive for carbon management in the world.By setting a reliable value forgeologically stored or utilized carbon,the 45
239、Q credit provides a consistent,performance-based revenue source that developers can use to evaluate potential projects.As amended by the IRA,the 45Q credit pays$85 per ton37;requires that qualified projects commence construction by the end of 2032;and allows the taxpayer to claim the credit for 12 y
240、ears once a project is placed in service(Figure 11).If a CCUS developer can capture and store carbon for under$85 per tonne on an all-in,levelized basis over 12 years,then the project is financially feasible.38Several other tax credits could support deployment of CCUS,including the 45V tax credit fo

242、,40B,45Z,45Y,or 48E credits.The IRA also provides$5.8B to support advanced industrial decarbonization deployment,which could include carbon management projects in the industrial sector.36 Full range from the Princeton Net Zero Americas report is 100-700 MTPA by 205037$85/ton for sequestration subjec

302、Liftoff:Carbon ManagementDemonstration and initial commercial projects are critical to achieving cost declines through“learning-by-doing”.Retrofitting CCUS in some contexts can require some facility-specific designs that may not be perfectly transferrable to other facilities.Nevertheless,creation of
303、 standard(e.g.,starting point)designs,increased modularization,and dissemination of operationallearnings will enable cost reductions over time.Researchers and developers expect cost declines with deployment,though the persistent energy requirements for many carbon management technologies mean that t
304、he drastic cost declines observed in no-fuel technologies like wind and solar are unlikely.Researchers have modeled potential CapEx learning rates for DAC of 10-20%(that is,a 10-20%decline in CapEx costs for every cumulative doubling of capacity.)Developers have set aggressive cost reduction targets
305、.Start-ups have announced pathways to achieve$30-50/tonne cost of capture for industrial sources(from$60-120/tonne today)and DAC developers Carbon Engineering and Climeworks claim a pathway to$100/tonne within ten years.lxxiii,lxxiv,lxxvCost declines in CO2transport and storage are achievable throug
306、h building shared regional pipeline and storage networks but given their relatively small share of total costs for higher cost-of-capture applications these reductions alone may not make retrofit projects profitable in the absence of other drivers.Additional revenue streams or regulation may be requ
307、ired to reach the scale of carbon capture needed for net-zero by 2050.If cost declines do not bring levelized costs of carbon management below expected revenues,additional revenue sources or regulation will be needed for carbon management to reach a scale of deployment commensurate with its emission
308、s reduction potential.In many cases,FOAK deployments financed by BIL and IRA will establish baseline costs and subsequent facilities will realize cost reductions as a result of project development,technology,permitting,and community engagement learnings,as well as economies of scale and enabling inf
309、rastructure.While 45Q constitutes the primary incentive for carbon management in the US today and is scheduled to sunset for new projects beginning construction after 2032,industry players across CCUS and CDR expect regulations and private sector action to continue incentivizing or driving growth of
310、 carbon management in the future.Mechanisms could include extension of 45Q,regulations such as emissions standards,cap and trade programs or carbon taxes,or support for other revenue streams(e.g.,voluntary carbon markets,technology premiums,premium PPAs and revenues from other products.).Build-out o
311、f DAC and CO2utilization could be limited if clean energy build-out is constrained.Todays DAC technologies require significant energy and heat to operate;current technology requires 68 GJ per tonne CO2captured.lxxviWith current configurations,thermal energy accounts for 80%of total energy needs for
312、sorbent-based DAC.lxxviiAchieving net-negative emissions,therefore,will require significant clean power and thermal energy for DAC technologies.Clean energy is also needed for utilization pathways in which CO2and CO are converted to other molecules(e.g.,synfuels,plastics).lxxviiiUp to 9,300 TWh per
313、year of additional zero-carbon electricity capacity could be needed to achieve net-zero aviation globally by 2050.lxxixThis level of generation represents more than double the total annual electricity consumption in the U.S.Build-out of transport and storage infrastructure for carbon management must
314、 be swift.The build-out of CO2transport and storage infrastructure is critical.Currently,the U.S.has 5,000 miles of operational CO2pipelines,largely developed for enhanced oil recovery(EOR).Significant new transport infrastructure that can enable geologic saline aquifer storage will be crucial as th
315、e carbon management ecosystem develops.Several studies have attempted to optimize the required pipelines based on varying estimates of CO2that will need to be transported.Regardless of the scenario,studies suggest transport capacity must be scaled to 30,000-96,000 miles by 2050(Figure 15.).lxxxIn ad
316、dition to expansion in pipeline capacity,other modes of CO2transport including barge,ship,train,and trucks are likely to serve an important role in facilitating offshore storage,shorter routes,and collection from multiple proximate facilities.lxxxi26Pathways to Commercial Liftoff:Carbon ManagementFi

319、roject finance will depend on a robust tax equity market and implementation of 45Q“transferability”Like other clean energy technologies,carbon management projects must use the future delivery of federal tax credits to finance large upfront construction costs.In carbon managements case,these are the
320、45Q tax credits projects receive from the IRS for each tonne of captured carbon emissions they successfully store or utilize.While 45Q projects developed by for-profit entities can receive direct payment of the face value of the credit for the first five years of project operations,most projects cre
321、dits in years 6-12 must be used directly by the project sponsor,monetized via a tax equity investor,or sold to another entity with a tax liability under the new“transferability”provisions in the IRA.43Carbon management projects have substantial operational costs and,absent other drivers,projects may
322、 not be able to profitably continue operation of captureequipment once they stop receiving 45Q credits after 12 years of operations.44As a result,project finance investors in carbon management projects generally must plan to hit their return thresholds within 12 years.Carbon management projects coul

327、ax equity requires complex project structuring and developers generally cede a portion of the face value of the credit to their tax equity partner.Challenges for carbon management projects using tax equity include:The size of the tax equity market is constrained:Historically,only large financial ins
328、titutions have had the persistent tax bill and structured finance wherewithal that make tax equity an attractive proposition.The total market for tax equity is$20 billion/year and two banksJP Morgan and Bank of Americaaccount for 50%of tax equity volumes.lxxxiiiFuture growth of the tax equity market
329、 may be constrained.The large number of tax equity-eligible projects seeking to partner with a relatively small number of tax equity investors has led to projects consistently accepting tax equity investment at a significant effective discount to face value.Carbon management projects will compete wi
