CO2 Emissions Control and Mitigation: July 2001 SFA Pacific completed in 2001, its comprehensive multi-client analysis, CO2 Emissions Control and Mitigation-A Technical Business Analysis. Focus of the analysis is the control, mitigation, economics, and business opportunities associated with CO2 emissions in a "carbon-constrained" world. The emission of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, has become a major issue. The perception that CO2 emissions, or at least their growth, must be controlled fairly soon will likely result in some form of internationally mandated strategy over the next five years. Any such action will result in mitigation costs-whether or not global CO2 emissions are actually reduced! In recent years many reports have been published addressing various aspects of global warming and the potential impacts of CO2 emissions. However, these reports offer little objective analysis of the technical realities and legitimate costs of specific mitigation processes and technologies-or any economically sensible strategies for credits or incentives. SFA Pacific has therefore analyzed CO2 emissions control and mitigation, focusing on technologies, process strategies, economics, and potential business opportunities. Major evaluation emphasis is on the technology and economics of CO2 emissions (CO2 reduction, CO2 recovery, CO2 sequestering), including the impact of carbon taxes and credits (incentives). In addition, the issues and "agendas" of carbon taxation, redistribution of wealth, vested interests, industrial versus developing countries, energy deregulation, "leakage," and joint implementation/ clean development mechanisms have also been insightfully and objectively addressed. The winners and losers in business in a carbon-constrained world are identified and addressed. Extensive comparative economic cases are conducted for technology options. The software for these cases together with the underlying framework is included with the report so that the sponsoring companies can conduct additional cases using inputs specific to their own individual project needs. SFA Pacific's staff experience and extensive ongoing work in a variety of CO2 mitigation issues have provided an excellent foundation for this timely analysis of a business arena of growing strategic importance. The report, CO2 Emissions Control and Mitigation-A Technical Business Analysis, is available. Contact Us ...
