Comparison of coal consumption and CO 2 emissions for co-production and separate production of liquids and power. Plant-level CO 2 emissions can be greatly reduced by using the CCS technology, the study found, without much increase in capital cost. Even with CCS, the liquid product costs are comparable to recent crude oil prices.
