Policy Options Carbon Price. A price on carbon, such as a greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program, would raise the cost of electricity produced from fossil fuels relative to low-carbon sources.Electric energy storage would then have increased value where relatively inexpensive low-carbon electricity could be stored to displace carbon-intensive power.

There is no single cost for CCUS. CCUS applications do not all have the same cost. Looking specifically at carbon capture, the cost can vary greatly by CO 2 source, from a range of USD 15-25/t CO 2 for industrial processes producing "pure" or highly concentrated CO 2 streams (such as ethanol production or natural gas processing) to
