IEA urges a quick and global push to develop and deploy Carbon Capture and Storage technologies
Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one of the most promising technological solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to salvage our climate. Still, many questions remain. To date, only four full-scale CCS projects exist in the world; none of these projects captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from a coal-fired power plant. “The window of opportunity is closing for the global community to ...

Eileen Claussen`s Statement on The Expanding Carbon Capture Through Enhanced Oil Recovery Act of 2014
We applaud Sen. Jay Rockefeller for introducing legislation to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS). The Expanding Carbon Capture Through Enhanced Oil Recovery Act of 2014 would reform and expand an existing tax credit to encourage the use of carbon dioxide captured from power plants and industrial facilities in enhancing production from existing oil fields. Carbon capture and storage is a ...

Scientists discover new way to remove CO2 from the air
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) believe they have struck upon a novel new way of removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. The technique is revolutionary in that it is capable of detecting and capturing the gas at almost any concentration level, including as low as approximately 400 parts per million. Additionally, their method does not require substantial ...

EPA finalizes rules to foster safe carbon storage technology actions part of efforts to reduce barriers to widespread deployment of carbon capture and sequestration, an important set of technologies to combat climate change
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized two rules related to the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies have the potential to enable large emitters of carbon dioxide, such as coal fired power plants, to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This technology allows carbon dioxide to be captured at stationary ...
