Taking Carbon Capture to the Next Level

The author advocates for the FUTURE Act, asserting that carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is a "critical-path technology" for climate change mitigation, particularly for power plants and industrial emissions. The document argues that current tax credits are ineffective due to low credit levels and caps, and that the proposed legislation would drive innovation and cost reduction by raising credit levels and implementing time-limits. The author notes broad bi-partisan and cross-sector support for the bill, including from energy companies, labor unions, and environmental groups.

• Carbon capture and storage is presented as essential for climate change mitigation because approximately two-thirds of global emissions originate from industrial smokestacks and power plants.
