To construct each feasibility space, we use a tailored set of metrics and reference cases most appropriate to each of the first three phases of the technology life-cycleformative, acceleration and stable growth (Methods and Table 1 ). For the formative phase, we project feasible CCS deployment (Gt yr -1 ) based on project plans and their failure rates; for the acceleration phase, the acceleration rate of reference technologies; and for the stable growth rate, we use the maximum growth rate at the inflection point of the S-curve normalized to the market size. This approach can be applied not only to global but also to national and regional targets, as well as to other climate mitigation and energy technologies. Error bars are used to illustrate the uncertainty in feasible deployment over time.
