Abstract:
... Long-term mitigation scenarios rely heavily on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for achieving ambitious climate change targets. The amount of CO2 storage in these scenarios depends on the CO2 price and exogenously determined availability and costs of storage capacity. We analyze investment in CCS in more detail by taking the opportunity costs of CO2 storage into account, assuming that CO2 injectio ...

Abstract:
... In this paper we describe how behavioral responses of carbon dioxide (CO₂) tax increases are accounted for in tax revenue estimation in Sweden. The rationale for developing a method for this is a mix between that a CO₂ tax is a primary climate policy tool aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions and that the CO₂ tax generates sizable tax revenues. ...
