Is it a question of money?

How much would be needed (best guess I know) to make a breakthrough in, say, the next ten years? 1 billion? 10 billion?

EU have just signed off £250m to bury CO2 underground, money might be better spent on this sort of thing

TX.

I've done a lot of work on a ccs project, I still don't "get" the economics of it, as far as the taxpayer is concerned.

In the right context, it can make economic sense for industry - sttipping co2 from a coal fired power station helps the coal miners sell coal, co2 from gas helps the gas industry to sell gas. But, IMHO, it shouldn't be subsidised.
