Cost and Energy Input Requirement Assessment of Carbon Capture and Storage Technology Application in the Scottish Chemical Industry

The decision on which carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is to be adopted as a decarbonisation strategy in the Scottish chemical sector can have a varying implication for the sector, emerging from differences in the capital and energy needs associated with each carbon capture approach. This brief explores the capital and energy input required to integrate post- and pre-combustion CCS technologies in the Scottish chemical industry, focusing on the carbon capture component, with a scope to provide valuable data for studying the wider economy and competitiveness implications of employing these carbon capture technologies.
