However, the viability of CTL becomes quite limited in regions with climate policy due to the high conversion cost and huge carbon footprint. Although adding carbon capture and storage (CCS) could reduce CO 2 emissions, the additional cost from implementing CCS makes CTL less attractive, the report finds.
