Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) 2050

MIT has conducted a huge study of the possibilities and consequences of CCS-technology by 2050. They are basically testing two major supply-side technology trends, CCS and Nuclear. One of the snags for CCS is that the geological formations that can be used are not necessarily situated at the same place as where the coal is burnt. Another is that CCS can not easily be combined with any technology for the generation either. So, the study is a valuable contribution to test the limits of how far the CCS-technology can be used.
The focus is, however on the U.S. and China, and it seems as if there is a need for a study that also covers Australia and South Africa.
