Carbon concentration target and technological choice

There is great uncertainty about the choice of technologies for carbon mitigation policy in the long run especially if carbon storage options are considered. A sensitivity analysis of the costs of carbon sequestration is conducted here and relative importance of sequestration technology is assessed in a long-term carbon management framework. Carbon recovery with geological and ocean sequestration could be included among the available carbon abatement technologies and its abatement potential is sensitive to the carbon transport and storage cost assumption.
