IEA vision: 120 Gt of CO2 stored by 2050
Goal 1: 2020 Over 30 large projects in
operation in power and across a range of industrial processes,
storing 50 MtCO2 per year.
Goal 3: 2050 Over 7 GtCO2 stored per year.
CCS routinely used in all applicable power and industrial
applications.
Goal 2: 2030 Over 2 GtCO2 is stored per year. CCS routinely used in power and certain industrial applications.
By 2030 CCS needs to be deployed on two out of every three new coal-fired power plants.
By 2050 all new coal-fired power plants will need to be equipped with CCS.
© OECD/IEA 2012
1. Introduce financial support mechanisms for demonstration and early deployment. 2. Develop laws and regulations that effectively require new-build power capacity to be CCS-ready. 3. Significantly increase efforts to improve understanding among the public and stakeholders of CCS technology. 4. Implement policies that encourage storage exploration, characterisation and development for CCS projects. 5. Reduce the cost of electricity from power plants equipped with capture through continued technology development. 6. Prove capture systems at pilot scale in industrial applications. 7. Encourage efficient development of CO2 transport infrastructure
2013 CCS Roadmap: 7 Key actions

(1) Decrease generation from subcritical (2) Install CCS* on plants over supercritical
(3) Increase generation from high-efficiency technology (SC or better)
