Given the prevalence of fossil fuel plants in modern power systems, CCOS offers a viable means to mitigate the pollution from this sector [21]. Through partial utilization of the plant-generated energy, CCOS reduces CO 2 emissions [22]. However, this energy[23].

Models that characterize life cycle greenhouse gases from electricity generation are limited in their capability to estimate emissions changes at scales that capture the grid-scale benefits of technologies and policies that enhance renewable systems integration. National assumptions about generation mixes are often applied at annual time steps, neglecting
