Abstract
Climate change mitigation requires a dramatic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors, including hard-to-abate industries. Hard-to-abate emissions from industry can be avoided by CO2 capture, transport, and storage (CCTS), where CO2 is transported from capture plants to permanent storage sites. However, no CCTS infrastructure is currently deployed in Europe. Therefore, the transition towards a large-scale CCTS infrastructure needs to be properly planned and implemented. Within this context, external factors play a role in the deployment of CCTS supply chains and lead to large uncertainty due to little operational experience for such systems. Here, we investigate the rollout of a Swiss CCTS infrastructure to achieve a net-zero emissions Swiss industry and connect Swiss emitters to a European CCTS infrastructure. We address uncertainty and real-world constraints regarding the rollout of CCTS infrastructure via scenario analysis. Under most scenarios, Swiss CO2 sequestration targets can be reached, although costs may increase by up to 25%. The delay or limitation of available storage capacity, however, can undermine the sequestration targets.
