I've done a couple of engineering studies for carbon capture projects in Alberta using a variety of technologies and your cost range is ballpark correct. The cost estimates were staggering. A lot of the cost is in the fact that these are pretty unique projects still, if a few got built the cost would go down. It's also quite energy intensive, so to capture the CO2 from the generation of 100 MW of power you potentially could have to generate an additional 10-20 MW.
