Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the technological process of capturing carbon dioxide from a power plant or industrial activity and the storage of that captured carbon dioxide in an underground basalt formation, saline aquifer, depleted oil and gas reservoir, or sub-sea geologic formation.
Democratic National Committee Platform Drafting Committee
This is the United States Democratic Party’s draft policy platform that includes sections on the potential role of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to combat climate change.
This white paper identifies near-term carbon capture and storage opportunities, then designs and plans the regional transport infrastructure required to maximize CO2 abatement while minimizing cost and land use impact.
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The report presents data on carbon sequestration from the Land Use, Land-Use change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector and from enhanced oil recovery in the United States.
This bill would promote the development and deployment of CCUS technologies, including by making related pipelines and direct air capture projects eligible for guaranteed loan support from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Article 2 of this regulatory proposal sets the EU 2050 climate-neutrality objectives, recognizing that removals of greenhouse gases will be needed to compensate for emissions from sectors where decarbonization is the most challenging.
Royal Dutch Shell plans to offset its own emissions by trapping as much carbon as its business operations cause through new carbon capture technologies or through nature-based solutions such as forestation.
