    Study Notes

    Carbon Sequestration and Emissions Reduction - Key Facts

    • Sub-surface mineralisation is associated with mineral sequestration
    • The IEA Net Zero Scenario projects a 100% decrease in net emissions by 2050
    • The main source of historical data for Global energy Efficiency from 1850 to 2050 is The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2018
    • CCS contributes about 15% of total CO2 emissions reduction in the IEA Net Zero Scenario
    • Extra revenue by oil and gas producers in 2022 relative to 2021 is used for financing the low emission fuel investment required by the net zero scenario
    • The capacity of electrolysers for hydrogen production is intended for hydrogen production
    • Carbon pricing incentives cover approximately 23% of total global CO2 emissions in 2023
    • The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) establishes a 'cap and trade' system
    • The price of carbon was €82.51 per tonne of CO2 as of 26th Sept 2023
    • According to the IPCC Report, 2005, Ocean Storage is not listed as a CO2 storage option
    • The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a 'cap and trade' system
    • The sharp carbon price increase in 2021-22 was mainly driven by the high cost of gas leading to a greater use of coal
