For the foreseeable future, the vast majority of research for disposal applications is likely to be focused on understanding and mitigating environmental concerns that arise from disposal and is unlikely to be directed at reducing the cost of disposal (Freund and Ormerod, 1997). Freund and Ormerod (1997) cite estimates for transport and disposal cost that range from 4.7 to 21 per ton of CO2 depending upon whether the sequestration is to take place in a nearby depleted oil and gas well or a deep-sea trench that is located some distance from an onshore fossil-fueled power plant. In the absence of research that pairs current and future power plant sites with disposal sites on a global basis, we will assume an intermediate value of 55 per tonne of carbon ( 15 per tonne of CO2) for all transport and disposal costs and hold this cost constant throughout the time period under study.
