CCS technologies can capture up to 90 percent of carbon emissions from a facility. Almost a dozen commercial-scale carbon capture projects are operating around
READ MOREWe argue that despite low prices, carbon markets can help reduce emissions. Using a statistical model and sectoral emissions data, we find that the EU ETS, which initially regulated roughly 50% of EU carbon emissions from mainly energy production and large industrial polluters, saved more than 1 billion tons of CO 2 between
