CXMSF - Carbon Capture The Contra Case
- Renewables are replacing fossil fuel in power generation and transport, and this is replacing the need for CCS.
- Low carbon emissions concrete, steel, titanium, etc. are coming; these provide competing investment opportunities to CCS.
- Limited evidence of actual CCS currently (is the CO2 really captured?) and lots of hype.
- Limited options for investment in pure CCS opportunities and lots of intentions from big oil and gas.
- Slim pickings for investors in CCS and need for caution both about feasibility and need, as low carbon solutions are emerging in traditionally emissions-intensive industries.
