Life After Coal: It's Sooner Than You Think
Alternative Energy Stocks —
... , French utility EON puts current carbon
capture technology costs about $40 per ton of CO2, and they hope to get the cost
down to $20. This does not include the cost of pressurizing the gas and
injecting it into some form of permanent storage. (Even permanent storage may
not be so permanent.) Capturing CO2 for
industrial uses can make economic sense today, and the economics will only get
better when we begin to have reasonable prices for carbon emission.
However, cleaning up the emissions of currently built fossil-fueled generation
is not the same as investing ...
