a flue gas consisting of only carbon dioxide and water vapor, which
is cooled and condensed.

For storage:

• A system to store, transport and inject gas into existing reservoirs.
This is done by a pipeline, which is generally the cheapest form of
transport, or may be done by ship if pipelines are not available.
• Alternatives to storage include carbonatization, deep sea deposit,
and planting of photosynthetic plants in otherwise infertile areas.

Currently these processes could remove around 90% of CO 2 at a cost of 35-
90 USD a ton including injection and storage in a reservoir. This is about 2-3
times the long-term expected emission quota costs.
