Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)-known as CCS-has
attracted interest as a measure for mitigating global climate
change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from
fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to
be captured and stored underground or prevented from reaching the
atmosphere. Large, industrial sources of CO2, such as
electricity-generating plants, are likely initial candidates for
CCS because they are predominantly stationary, single-point
sources. Electricity generation contributes over 40% of U.S. CO2
emissions from fossil fuels.
