ECCO Tool: Analysis of CCS value chains

A tool for case studies of carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chains has been developed in the FP7 ECCO project. The tool analyzes chains of arbitrary complexity consisting of a range of different chain units involved in CO2 production, transport, and storage. The chain can evolve over time, and the tool models physical and financial interactions between chain units and actors involved. Costs and revenues are scaled according to macro-economic predictions. In addition, government take is included through a general tax model. The tool provides a range of time dependent data and key performance indicators regarding the financial and environmental performance at chain unit, actor/ownership, and case level.
