Research output: ThesisDoctoral thesis 1 (Research UU / Graduation UU)

Abstract

The main objective of this thesis is to assess promising deployment
pathways for CO2 capture and transport in industry and the electricity generation sector.
To meet this objective, the following three research questions were formulated:
I. What are cost effective CO2 capture and transport infrastructure configurations
and deployment pathways in industrial plants and zones over time?
II. What are the drivers, barriers and synergies of CO2 capture and pipeline transport
infrastructure configurations over time at the local, national and international
level?
III. How can CCS be optimally deployed over time in a broader portfolio of energy
efficiency measures and low‐carbon energy technologies, both from a cost and
emission reduction perspective?
