Interactive Tracker For State Action On Carbon Capture, Utilization And Storage Launched By Arnold & Porter And Columbia's Sabin Center

Several leading international reports on climate change suggest carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) technologies may play a substantial role in meeting Paris Agreement climate goals. For example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change expects large-scale CCUS to be an important option to reduce emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sources, as well as to provide the storage component for negative emissions technologies that capture carbon from the atmosphere (DACCS) or from biomass or other sources. The US federal government also promotes the benefits of CCUS, noting that "[t]o reach the President's ambitious domestic climate goal of net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050, the United States will likely have to capture, transport, and permanently sequester significant quantities of carbon dioxide." Congress, too, recognizes the importance of CCUS in supporting the energy transition through recent incentives in the Infrastructure Investment
