National Coal Council paper calls for policy parity for U.S. CCS

摘要

The report, "Leveling the Playing Field for Carbon Capture and Storage Technology", calls for legislators to create a level playing field to deploy carbon capture and storage technologies (CCS) used for coal, natural gas and industrial sectors at commercial scale. The white paper offers recommendations to create "policy parity" for CCS to achieve diverse energy policy objectives and examines the state of play for clean energy development including coal. Authors have provided a gap analysis defining the difference between the current trajectory of CCS and what is needed to propel its progress.
