Abstract

Growth rate analysis indicates IPCC 2100 storage targets are achievable, however tradeoffs exist between CO2 storage resource requirements, storage growth rate, and growth duration, with a ceiling on required storage resources of 2700 Gt.

Highlights

  • Integrated assessment models have identified carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an important technology for limiting climate change

  • To achieve the climate targets outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), many scenarios require over 1000 gigatons of CO2 stored underground by the end of the century

  • The maximum global storage rates of logistic scenarios achieving these targets are at the upper end of scenarios considered by the IPCC.[1,2]

Summary

Introduction

Integrated assessment models have identified carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an important technology for limiting climate change. We show how logistic growth models, a common tool in resource assessment, provide a mathematical framework for stakeholders to monitor short-term CCS deployment progress and long-term resource requirements in the context of climate change mitigation targets.
