A design for a 1 Mt-CO2 per year plant with pilot-plant data; the cost is a design estimate, not a measured cost of an operating plant.

Findings

Levelized cost of CO2 capture: 94 USD t⁻¹
Lower end of the levelized cost range of a designed aqueous-KOH plant capturing about 1 Mt-CO2 per year, with CO2 delivered at 15 MPa; capture only, storage not included. Upper end 232 USD/t. Design estimate, not a current value.
the levelized cost per ton CO 2 captured from the atmosphere ranges from 94 to 232 $/t-CO 2
