• CATF Releases Modeling Study That Shows 45Q Tax Credit Can Have a Major Impact On CO2 Emissions Reductions

  Clean Air Task Force (CATF) today released a comprehensive report on the near-term implications of the federal tax credit (45Q) for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. The study found that, as a result of tax credit legislation known as 45Q, which was extended and expanded in early 2018, nearly…

• CCS Could Reduce 49 Million Tonnes of CO2 Emissions From Coal & Gas Power Plants

  This time last year, the U.S. Congress passed a bipartisan bill called the Bipartisan Budget Act, which expanded and extended the 45Q federal tax credits for carbon capture and storage (CCS.) Happy anniversary, 45Q! As we entered a new world of 45Q, CATF took on the task of quantifying the…

• Achieving a Near-Zero Carbon Power Grid: Presentation to the New Mexico Legislature, Senate Conservation Committee

  To address climate change, we need a near-zero carbon power system by mid-century. Our chances of reaching this goal are much better if, in addition to using renewables, we have the option to use a diversity of low carbon power sources, including firm sources. Public policies today should not foreclose…

• The New Economics of Carbon Capture: Lower Costs, More Revenue

  The next CCS coal retrofits promise to be a lot cheaper. Last year, after the successful Petra Nova retrofit of the W.A. Parish Plant, NRG stated that the next retrofit would be 20% cheaper. They know from building the first plant where to eliminate “overkill” in the system and where to gain efficiencies that shrink the size of expensive components.

• Deep Thinking on Geology and the Rollback of the Clean Power Plan

  If you’re like me, you’re alarmed by the regulatory rollbacks that are undermining health and environmental protections that we have enjoyed in the United States. One such rollback is EPA’s proposal to replace the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, the regulatory requirements that would reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, with the “Affordable” Clean Energy (ACE) rule.

• California’s CO2 Reduction Program Opens Doors to CCS

  In September, California Air Resources Board voted on including CO2 reductions from Carbon Capture and Sequestration technologies under its Low Carbon Fuel Standard Program by incorporating a CCS Protocol into the regulation. Credits under the LCFS program stacked with the 45Q tax credit for CCS make CO2 reductions worth between…
