Socio-economic impacts of low-carbon power generation portfolios: Strategies with and without CCS for the Netherlands

摘要: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) could be an interesting option to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands. This study compares a mitigation strategy for Dutch power sector that includes CCS one without on several socio-economic indicators. In particular, we calculate incremental gross value added (GVA), employment import dependency impacts of two such low-carbon production portfolios We combine technology specific techno-economic bottom-up data with macro-economic multi-regional Input-Output-Table containing high sectoral detail. For total economy, find differences between these scenarios small. Still, added, are lower under CCS-inclusive strategy, while is higher. sector, are, however, considerable. Furthermore, our analysis shows also other sectors large. instance, CCS-exclusive leads considerably higher GVA domestic construction services, comes natural mining related upstream sectors.
