Panel Session: The Economics of CCS: Is $85 Enough to Drive Progress?
Monday, 3 March 2025, 10:55 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Houston, Texas
The financial viability of carbon capture projects hinges on whether the current $85 per ton incentive under 45Q provides sufficient support for widespread adoption. With actual costs of capture, transport, and storage often exceeding this threshold, questions arise about the need for adjusted incentives or alternative mechanisms like carbon taxes to drive economic feasibility. Representatives from startups, established operators, service companies, and experts involved in the CarbonSAFE initiative will bring diverse perspectives and real-world experiences to this discussion, offering insights into the practical challenges and innovative solutions for making carbon capture projects financially sustainable. This panel will provide valuable insights into the economic tipping points, financing strategies, and policy considerations that will shape the future of carbon capture, making it an essential opportunity for understanding the path forward in this evolving sector.
