RE:California-Quebec-Ontario Cap & Trade Sales Figures
RE:California-Quebec-Ontario Cap & Trade Sales FiguresYou can profit from carbon capture even if your capture costs are higher than the auction price. Serres Toundra is paying to get CO2. That's why CST is pushing for reutilisation with VCQ. There are many utilisations for CO2. I like Carbicrete very much.
Note also that the auction price will go up. They are decreasing the amount auctioned off, that forces the price to go up. On the other hand, when I first bought CST (circa 2003) I think they were talking of 50$ per tonne to be their cost. With the price of capture going down and the price of auctioned CO2 permits going up, carbon capture can only become more and more appealing.

Until the price of these offsets reaches close to double that price it's going to be a tough battle to sell carbon capture in California, Quebec and Ontario based on the current $28/ton cost of capture.
