“…To explore the sensitivity of results to assumptions on CCS, this study ran an additional scenario to consider more optimistic reductions of the costs of CCS for coal, gas, and biomass (implying roughly a reduction by 1% per year of the investment costs), denoted INDC to 2°C_CCS. In this scenario, for the People's Republic of China, the capital cost per kilowatt of installed capacity for a coal-fired power plant with integrated gasification combined cycle and CCS decreases from $3,170 to $2,120 in 2050 and $1,280 by 2100, compared to the cost of a standard pulverized coal plant at about $970 per kilowatt, which is in line with projected total capital costs of CCS (HavlĂk et al 2011;Rubin, Davison, and Herzog 2015).…”
