24 Economic Impacts Economic Impacts of NETL RD&D in the sequestration tax credit cases were evaluated using the corresponding NEMS outputs with and without R&D The NETL-WVU Econometric Input-Output (ECIO) model was utilized to assess the economic impacts 24

25 Models and Methods The NETL/WVU ECIO Model The ECIO model is a time-series enabled hybrid econometric input-output (IO) framework that combines the time series capabilities of econometric models with the interindustry modeling strengths of IO models Designed to estimate the national economic and employment impacts of NETL s technology development, deployment, and operation over a corresponding NEMS forecast period Over the last six years, the NETL/WVU ECIO model has been developed and extended to serve the impacts forecasting needs of NETL 25

40 MARKAL takeaways CCS technologies do not significantly deploy in most Clean Power Plan scenarios without R&D Even with R&D, some additional stress to the system is required Large fleet of NGCCs usually built with post-2030 CO2 implications CO2 taxes at $25 or $50 per tonne provide impetus to the system to radically reduce emissions R&D prompts major shift to CCS technologies to meet these targets 40

42 Conclusions With regulatory relief, higher economic growth, higher load growth, and increased use of competing fuels, coal-fired power plants can compete New capacity can be built and existing coal units remain operational Efficiency gains are meaningful CCS may deploy as oil prices rises, with tax incentives and EOR. CO2 from power plants and industrial sources can contribute to energy security Under deep CO2 reduction scenarios, with R&D, Fossil CCS dominates. 42
