This document discusses incentive policies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). It notes that CCS projects currently have high costs and require incentives to be economically viable. An incentive policy architecture is needed with a long-term framework using different policy tools over time as objectives and the technology evolve. Individual policies should address objectives like emissions reductions, learning, and access to capital markets. "Policy gateways" can help define when policies transition between stages and criteria for the transitions. This approach provides stability while allowing adaptation as understanding of CCS improves.
