Ryan - a well written summarising article. One avenue of potential revenue available to CCS projects in the EfW sector where the waste has biogenic content is to sell CDR (carbon dioxide removal) credits. This can improve the business case somewhat, but does not necessarily abrogate the requirement for a support mechanism to work in tandem.
Thank you @Torie Hart

Thank you @Jason Frost, I value your support. I agree that biogenic fractions can increase revenue, and even reduce the scale of likely impending cap-and-trade levvies placed on EfW plants; however, if the feedstock is Refuse Derived Fuel, like many are, it is usually the case that these fractions have already been removed in the waste processing operations leaving the RDF EfWs stuck in limbo. Hopefully, if the prototype EfW at Ferrybridge can prove the technology successful, more investment can be found for carbon capture, and maybe the glacial change we are witnessing can accelerate to a more meaningful impact on the industry.
