For example, near-term CCS technology applied to coal-fired power plants is projected to reduce the net output of the plant by some 30% and to increase the cost of electricity by 60–80%. Calculations show that for a coal-fired power plant, that could amount to approximately 30% of total energy generated. —Lin et al.
