SUMMARY:Carbon capture and storage: it has a cost\, but does it have any v
 alue? - Professor Niall Mac Dowell\, Imperial College London

DESCRIPTION:It is understood from the work of the IPCC that carbon capture
  and storage (CCS) is vital to meeting global carbon emission reduction ta
 rgets by 2010 in a least cost manner \, and more recent work by the ETI  i
 ndicates that the same is true for the UK's 2050 targets. However\, despit
 e this plethora of evidence\, CCS has yet to be deployed in a meaningful s
 ense. At the same time\, alternatives to CCS\, including renewable power a
 nd energy storage\, have been achieving material cost reductions.\n\nIn th
 is seminar\, we will quantify and qualify the role that CCS might be expec
 ted to play in a deeply decarbonised future\, provide insight as to the ke
 y technical characteristics of CCS\, and consider the alternatives to its 
 deployment\, in order to attempt to answer the question - "does CCS have a
 ny value?"\n
