“…It is therefore not yet clear to what extent CCS can effectively contribute to climate change mitigation effort (Koelbl et al, 2013Metz et al, 2005), and in particular if large scale applications will make inroads in the electric sector (Whittaker and Kneppers, 2013). Moreover, particularly stringent climate targets such as the 1.5°C would increase competition among CCS technologies: this aspect could hinder fossil fuel based CCS deployment, encouraging a shift towards carbon neutral or carbon negative options (Bauer et al, 2015;Van der Zwaan and Tavoni, 2011;De Cian and Tavoni, 2012).…”

The climate targets defined under the Paris agreement of limiting global temperature increase below 1.5 or 2°C require massive deployment of low-carbon options in the energy mix, which is currently dominated by fossil fuels. Scenarios suggest that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) might play a central role in this transformation, but CCS deployment is stagnating and doubts remain about its techno-economic feasibility. In this article, we carry out a throughout assessment of the role of CCS electricity for a variety of temperature targets, from 1.5 to above 4°C, with particular attention
