Table 1 Carbon surcharge for large-scale and small-scale storage options. For a given specific investment cost cx and carbon ratio αx. csx is the carbon surcharge under the assumption of a storage time of 1 year. nx is the storage time required for the carbon surcharge to be equal to 75 €/tCO2 (n = 10 years and i = 5% is assumed throughout)

From: Global carbon surcharge for the reduction of anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide

 

cx [€/tx]

αx [tCO2/tx]

csx [€/tCO2] at nx = 1 year

nx[months] at csx = 75 €/tCO2
