Figure TS.11. CO2 capture and storage from power plants

CO2 capture and storage from power plants. The increased CO2 production resulting from loss in overall efficiency of power plants due to the additional energy required for capture, transport and storage, and any leakage from transport result in a larger amount of “CO2 produced per unit of product” (lower bar) relative to the reference plant (upper bar) without capture.
