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
