How carbon capture works and the debate about whether it's a future climate solution
- Congress is expected to maintain tax credits for carbon capture and sequestration, which aids in reducing carbon emissions from power plants and industrial facilities.
- Some conservatives criticize carbon capture as costly and unnecessary, while environmentalists argue it fails to meet pollution reduction targets and supports fossil fuel use.
- Sangeet Nepal, a technology specialist at the Carbon Capture Coalition, notes that carbon capture is vital for lowering emissions in hard-to-abate industries.
- Jessie Stolark, Executive Director of the Carbon Capture Coalition, claims that tax credits have encouraged investment and are essential for U.S. global competitiveness.

Carbon capture tax credits face uncertain future
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Tax credits for carbon capture remain in limbo in Congress. Critics question the effectiveness and cost of the technology. Most captured carbon is reused in oil extraction, not stored. Heavy industry projects may stall without financial incentives. Power plants and industrial facilities that emit carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming, are hopeful that Congress will keep tax credits for capturing the gas and st…

How carbon capture works and the debate about whether it’s a future climate solution
By TAMMY WEBBER, Associated Press Power plants and industrial facilities that emit carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming, are hopeful that Congress will keep tax credits for capturing the gas and storing it deep underground. The process, called carbon capture and sequestration, is seen by many as an important way to reduce pollution during a transition to renewable energy. But it faces criticism from some conservatives, who say it…
