CO2 capture has to be addressed now

Capturing CO2 and sequestering it underground is an attractive longer term option for greenhouse gas reduction, but decisions regarding it cannot be postponed. Many of the decisions which power plants are making today will impact their CO2 capture costs. Therefore, capture has to be considered an urgent subject for analysis. These are the conclusions reached by McIlvaine in its just published, ...
