Capital costs of retrofitting existing coal plants with carbon capture and storage functions in the U.S. are expected to amount to around 2,396 U.S. dollars per kilowatt in 2024. Power plants with a capture rate of 95 percent would be slightly more expensive to install throughout all the years shown. By 2050, it was expected that capital costs would fall below 1,650 U.S. dollars per kilowatt. Capital expenditure (CAPEX) of a power plant refers to the amount that needs to be spent to achieve commercial operation within that year.
