CO₂ emissions reduction at Melkøya while the production is almost at plateau is hard to explain. Is it possible that the process has been optimized or simply that they deliver less excess power to Hammerfest? The plant is exposed both to the ETS cost and continuously increasing Norwegian CO₂ tax.

Some measures are cheaper than this, others are more expensive. For an average EU citizen that is 1100 €/yr, for an average Indian it will cost 180 €/yr. I think we must live with this burden, because only the solutions that exist now will help us to solve the problem in time.

CCS can be applied not only to the energy sector, but also to the transport sector (after electrification), and to process emissions from cement, steel and other metals, fertilizers, paper&pulp etc.

On the other hand, large reductions in emissions will not occur before emission penalties increase. CCS cost on fossil or bio fuel sources is just a fraction of the cost of DAC, though.

The technology is mature, it is not more difficult than expected and the cost is known, but the penalties to emit CO₂ are too low, and where economic incentives exist, not all sectors are exposed the full cost. Large scale CCS will not happen before the emission cost exceeds 110€/tonne

This is the only mature large-scale option that can be deployed now and solve most of the emission problem. Transport sector can be electrified, and CCS can be applied in both the energy sector and also process emission from production of cement, fertilizers, refineries, metal, paper and pulp etc.

The technology was mature in 2013, it is not more difficult than expected and the cost is known, but the penalties to emit CO₂ are too low and where economic incentives exist, not all sectors are exposed the full cost. Large scale CCS will not happen before the emission cost exceeds 100–120 €/tonne

I am not proud of all formulations in the report, but I am still sure large scale CCS is inevetible if temperture incease shall be limited tö 2C. This will include BioCCS from paper&pulp and inceneratiion, but also from power industri. There is no realitic emission scenario without this ingrediens.
