Because CCS is an energy intensive, costly process the increase in electricity tariffs would tend to reduce consumption. However, the many coal-fired power stations for which CCS will not be economically viable will have to be shut down. Because neither the technology nor the economic viability of CCS have yet been proven, all coal-fired power stations are at risk of closure.
