46 Challenges for CCS in Power Generation Large Scale Demonstration Reducing CO 2 Capture Cost Reducing Energy Penalty Environmental Impact Building Infrastructure Safe CO 2 Storage Non-technological Issues 46

47 Concluding Remarks CCS will play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the power generation sector. Several activities have been initiated worldwide in the development of Carbon Capture for Power Generation industry. There are two set of horse race among the three options for newly build and retrofit plant. There is no leader at the moment! We need large scale demonstration of the carbon capture technology to build the confidence necessary for a rapid deployment. We need to overcome the challenges that CCS should face toward its path to commercialisation. 47
