Carbon Capture, Sequestration, and Emissions Trading

The Outlook for Global Carbon Markets

Human-generated carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are acknowledged by the scientific community as having a contributing effect on global climate change. Two major avenues for controlling the spread of carbon are being explored: Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), in which carbon dioxide is caught at the point of production and piped to a secure facility for long-term storage, and Carbon Emissions Trading, in which producers are allocated allowances for their anticipated carbon production, and can sell any that they don’t use (or buy what they need to compensate for any over-production of carbon).

This study examines both CCS and the carbon emissions trading market, delineating major drivers and issues (technical, regulatory, and business) for each sector.
