We assume that carbon capture should become more affordable as the market grows, the technology develops, finance costs fall, economies of scale
This project aims to analyze and understand the barriers to CCUS deployment on a large scale, including analyzing how current federal tax

Techno-Economic Assessment of Small-Scale Carbon Capture for Industrial and Power Systems. * As small-scale applications will also be required by governments to honour the net-zero CO₂ emissions pledge, technology developers are increasingly turning their attention to the capture of carbon from them. * While the cost advantages stemming from economies of scale remain valid, energy and climate imperatives coupled with technology progress and incentives to reduce CO₂ emissions may result in capture plant sizes that were once considered uneconomic to now offer more attractive prospects. This results in a scarcity of data on carbon capture from small-scale applications that makes a bottom-up analysis of the costs of such applications more challenging. While amine-based post-combustion capture is the current benchmark capture technology due to its higher maturity, its capital-intensive nature makes it more costly to deploy at small scale. A combination of low energy costs, high carbon prices and additional policy support would encourage deployment of small-scale capture plant.
