This paper explores the viability of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Italy by examining two different scenarios. The first scenario evaluates the investments on traditional power generation technologies, i.e. USC (Ultra Super Critical), NGCC (Natural Gas Combined Cycle) and IGCC (Integrated Gas Combined Cycle), with and without CCS, and on wind farms; the second scenario studies the convenience of retrofitting existing Italian power plants with respect to the construction of new capture-ready plants. To the scope, a techno-economic analysis based on the calculation of the LCOE (Levelised Cost Of Electricity), the CCAV (cost of CO₂ avoided) and the CCAP (cost of CO₂ captured) is assessed. Beyond these measures, the analysis in both scenarios accounts for the calculation of the so-called LACE (Levelised Avoided Cost of Electricity) in order to evaluate the profitability of CCS systems and, therefore, to properly orient CCS investment decision in Italy.

本文通过考察两种不同的情况，探讨了意大利碳捕集与封存（CCS）的可行性。第一种方案评估了在有和没有CCS的情况下，在传统发电技术（即USC（超超临界），NGCC（天然气联合循环）和IGCC（联合煤气联合循环））上以及在风电场上的投资；第二种情况研究了在建造新的捕集就绪电厂方面对意大利现有电厂进行改造的便利性。在此范围内，基于对LCOE（均等电费），CCAV（避免CO _2的成本）和CCAP（CO _2的成本）的计算，进行了技术经济分析。捕获）进行评估。除了这些措施之外，在两种情况下的分析都考虑了所谓的LACE（均等化避免的电费）的计算，以便评估CCS系统的获利能力，从而适当地指导意大利的CCS投资决策。
