Paper Summary

I summarized key elements of an IEA report that assesses the status of and outlooks for international cooperation towards net zero emissions under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Approaches that could support the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are the particular focus of the report. Various models are proposed to suggest how Article 6 could apply to CCS through linked emissions trading systems, crediting systems, and alternative approaches. Collectively, these may lay the foundation for CCS to be upscaled to the estimated 2 000 facilities necessary by 2050.
