An X indicates the highest level of maturity for each component. There are also less mature technologies for most components.
Table TS.2. Profile by process or industrial activity of worldwide large stationary CO2 sources with emissions of more than 0.1 MtCO2 per year.
Table TS.3. Summary of CO2 capture costs for new power plants based on current technology.
Because these costs do not include the costs (or
credits) for CO2 transport and storage, this table should not be used to assess or compare total plant costs for different systems with capture. The full costs of
CCS plants are reported in Section 8.

The costs
of the separate components cannot simply be summed to calculate the costs of the whole CCS system in US$/CO2 avoided. All numbers are
representative of the costs for large-scale, new installations, with natural gas prices assumed to be 2.8-4.4 US$ GJ-1 and coal prices 1-1.5 US$
GJ-1.

bituminous coal or natural gas
Table TS.11. Mitigation cost ranges for different combinations of reference and CCS plants based on current technology for new power
plants. Currently, in many regions, common practice would be either a PC plant or an NGCC plant14. EOR benefits are based on oil prices of
15 - 20 US$ per barrel. Gas prices are assumed to be 2.8 -4.4 US$/GJ-1, coal prices 1-1.5 US$/GJ-1 (based on Table 8.3a).
