I'll put some things together over the next week concerning cost factors, had some "help" resetting Raid configurations about two weeks ago, and, lol, my brother, the tech geek, managed to reformat my primary hard drives!, where my research was stored! (Got even, had him install a new water cooling system, kinda came out ahead,,,, I think.)
There are four main concerns, that current contenders for CCT are measured by. Each of those have their own subfactors to contend with. Cost of product is only one of those four main considerations.
There are many ideas being throw out there, even including a verifiable process from a Coal proactive group stating "all one needs to do is insert a water stream" and create Carbolic acid. They neatly leave out what to do with 90-95% of the resulting Acid, but suggest the remedy is to neutralize millions of resulting tonnage and recycle the water. Not near economically an answer.
Also things to consider are the metals in flue streams, some products capture mercury, for example, along with co2, others let it pass. EPA requirements step in, with Metals, and then the PPM may not allow storage in land fills, sub sequentially needing under deep ground storage.
Just using these examples of consideration to give you an idea of what goes into considering a CCT product.
As far as STORAGE, be it under ground or and with chemistry conversion of Co2, one could also say the problem will not be solved, all the way to the point where it, Co2, kills off 50%> of the Human race and or a balance is reached. Believe me when I say, if half of the expectations happen in regards to Global heating, it will require an unprecedented effort on mankind's part to stave off mass migration, migration just being the start.
It's figured the Co2 released today, will take over 1000 years to completely run thru the atmosphere to be naturally recycled by "Mother Earth".
We don't have time on our side. Standards established will push forward existing tech to better and better results until something absolutely new and unexpected in nuclear chemistry, (my opinion), comes along. I regretfully do not believe that will happen for a decade or more.
