ECCO tool for CO2 value chain case study analysis

AbstractA tool for analysis of CO2 value chains has been developed in the ECCO project (EU’s Seventh Framework Programme). The tool supports networks of multiple CO2 sources and sinks, dynamics, and variations in macro-economic conditions. The performance of individual chain units, actors, and the system as a whole is evaluated. The tool has an object-oriented architecture, allowing flexibility and incorporation of a range of different techno-economic modules to model the various chain units
