Description (excerpt):
One of the most exciting clean energy technologies the United States leads the world on is carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). The world’s abundant natural resources, or using them for industrial activity don’t alone create climate change, the emissions from them do.
That’s why reducing carbon dioxide emissions at scale doesn’t mean you must scrap existing technology. America has the ability to innovate the way to a clean energy future. CCUS can be used in the power sector to reduce emissions from natural gas and coal fired generation, ethanol production facilities, and difficult to decarbonize industries such as steel and concrete.
Perhaps you’ve heard that CCUS is expensive, or that it’s only going to benefit the oil and gas industry. At ClearPath, they follow the facts, so let’s dig into how this technology is cross-cutting and how it can be an economically viable tool for lowering global emissions.
