C l i Conclusions
- A large and viable potential market has been identified
- The economics of each application have been scoped
- The economic viability of applications is mixed & dependent on
assumptions, (e.g., policy for CO2 emissions)
- There is large uncertainty in the results of the economic
evaluations: – Capital costs O ti t – Operating costs – Financing
- Design work is needed to improve cost estimates
- Market evaluations to date were to establish end-user technical
requirements – detailed market study is required
