The large number of fossil fuel–fired power plants in operation, combined with the large reserves of domestic coal and concerns about energy security, suggest that efforts to reduce GHG emissions must focus not only on zero‐emitting energy resources such as wind, solar, and nuclear power, but also on addressing emissions from existing and new fossil fuel–fired power plants. For this reason, a set of emerging technologies that could allow power plants and manufacturing facilities to capture their CO2 emissions before they are released into the atmosphere and store them in geologic formations— collectively referred to as carbon capture and storage (CCS)—is receiving significant attention from policymakers and the private sector.
