Cash-Infused Carbon Capture Office Expands DOE’s Climate Mission

摘要

The Biden administration has revived and rebranded the Energy Department’s fossil energy office to take a fresh approach at advancing beleaguered carbon technology, backed bybillions of dollars approved by Congress and mid-century climate goals.The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will link carbon capture, transportation, storage, long-term monitoring, and environmental justice into one comprehensive carbonstrategy that is tied to climate goals, DOE officials said. So far, it’s unveiled a new mission statement, tapped carbon experts to fill top posts, created a division to study carbon dioxidepipelines, pledged to advance carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere, and targeted industrial sources of carbon beyond electricity generation.
