Carbon capture and storage in developing countries: A comparison of Brazil, South Africa and India
چکیده انگلیسی

The ambition to introduce carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in developing countries raises particular considerations and challenges, where, most fundamentally, pressing socio-economic needs imply that there are other political priorities than GHG mitigation. This suggests that the interest in, and viability of, large-scale deployment of CCS in developing countries has to be analyzed as a strategic issue in the overall context of national development. But what are then the strategic concerns that may influence developing countries’ decisions to pursue large-scale deployment of CCS technology? The present article takes a first step in answering this question by comparing CCS policies and ongoing activities in Brazil, India and South Africa.

Research highlights
► The study discusses the conditions for large-scale applications of CCS technology in developing countries.
► It does so by comparing current activities and policies regarding CCS in Brazil, India, and South Africa.
► In doing so, it emphasizes the technology as a strategic issue in the overall context of national development.
► It concludes that there are many hitherto unknown incentives for applying CCS but in some cases also considerable structural and political obstacles.
