“…Also in growing economies that heavily rely on coal, such as in China and India, the potential for CCS is significantly underutilized (Liu and Gallagher, 2010;Román, 2011). The small but vibrant literature on the politics of CCS suggests that the concept has been used to align environmental and industry interests in industrialized fossil fuel-producing economies (Meadowcroft and Langhelle, 2009;Pollak et al, 2011). But attempts to coordinate various national CCS efforts have hardly resulted in strengthened international cooperation (de Coninck and Backstrand, 2011;Stephens et al, 2011).…”

“…Further, with influential countries and industries (motivated by perceptions of the cost and complexity of climate mitigation) working against progress with climate policy, the will to act on CCS is faltering. It may even be that such actors are keen to talk about CCS to avoid acting on climate policy -the governments expressing the most enthusiasm for CCS are not necessarily the same actors that have the highest ambitions regarding carbon mitigation [34][35][36] . Assuming there will be a political will to act, there are key policy measures that need to be adopted.…”

ABSTRACT:Anthropogenic energy-related CO 2 emissions are higher than ever. With new fossil fuel power plants, growing energy-intensive industries and new sources of fossil fuels in development further emissions increase seems inevitable. The rapid application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a much heralded means to tackle emissions from both existing and future sources. However, despite extensive and successful research and development, progress in deploying CCS has stalled. No fossil fuel burning power plants, the greatest source of CO 2 emissions, are currently using CCS, and publicly supported CCS demonstration programmes are struggling to deliver actual projects. Yet, CCS remains a core component of national and global emissions reduction scenarios. Governments have to either increase commitment to CCS through much more active market support and emissions regulation, or accept its failure and recognise that continued expansion of fossil fuel burning energy capacity is a severe threat to attaining climate change mitigation objectives.

“…They used gross domestic product as desirable output and country's CO2 emissions as undesirable output. Pollak et al (2011) identified energy coalition and climate coalition defined by their beliefs about the primary purpose of CO2 injection which is energy supply or greenhouse gas emission reduction by carbon capture and storage focusing on the policy in the United States. They conclude that the energy coalition has had greater success that the climate coalition in shaping laws and rules to align with its policy preferences.…”

Abstract:To mitigate the effects of climate change, countries worldwide are advancing technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper proposes and measures optimal production resource reallocation using data envelopment analysis. This research attempts to clarify the effect of optimal production resource reallocation on CO2 emissions reduction, focusing on regional and industrial characteristics. We use finance, energy, and CO2 emissions data from 13 industrial sectors in 39 countries from 1995 to 2009. The resulting emissions reduction potential is 2.54 Gt-CO2 in the year 2009, with former communist countries having the largest potential to reduce CO2 emissions in the manufacturing sectors. In particular, basic material industry including chemical and steel sectors have a lot of potential to reduce CO2 emissions.
