This report evaluated the economic costs and potential for CCUS in Northern Ireland. The key messages were that given the dispersed nature of CO2 sources in NI then the cost of conventional CCS would be excessive for NI industry and power generation compared to GB, mainly because of the substantial collection and CO2 transport costs. Power costs could increase by 53% if CCS was mandated. Alternative, biological-based solutions, or e-fuel production from CO2 were thought to be a potential way forward.
