Description (excerpt):
Washington has failed to give carbon capture and storage (CCS) the attention it deserves, especially since this technology has the capacity to resolve some of the nation’s greatest environmental and economic challenges. Commercial development of CCS offers a chance to:
- Decarbonize fossil fuels that will remain in global use for decades.
- Ensure a reliable electric grid in the face of tightening environmental standards.
- Lead fossil-reliant communities to a thriving future amidst rapidly changing energy markets.
Instead of letting CCS technology languish and fall short of its potential, the federal government must do more to help the private sector develop and commercialize this potentially game-changing technology.
