Carbon capture and storage, multistage optimal control, optimal timing
Résumé :
[en] Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has a critical role to play in the world’s quest for
net zero, by mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from major pollution sources.
However, the deployment of CCS technologies involves significant costs. This paper
studies the social cost of CCS initiatives and GHG damage, adopting the perspective of
a central planner to determine the optimal deployment strategy for various stakeholders.
The study yields two principal findings. First, due to the diverse cost structures
among stakeholders, it is not socially optimal for all to initiate CCS projects simultaneously.
Instead, the player with the cost advantage should be the one to initiate
a CCS project first. Second, under certain circumstances it may be socially advantageous
for the player facing higher costs to refrain from engaging in CCS altogether.
We derive the conditions conducive to both scenarios. The latter finding provides a
clear guideline for policymakers: reduce the expenses of the high-cost player to foster
global GHG emission reductions, contingent upon the objectives of the supranational
institution.
