Description (excerpt):

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies are being proposed as an option to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from coal- and natural-gas-fired power plants, as well as other large industrial sources. The tax credit for carbon oxide sequestration (Internal Revenue Code [IRC] Section 45Q) is intended to incentivize investment in carbon capture and sequestration.
