The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has invested more than $ 3 billion since 2001 to fund multiple CCS projects being conducted by seven regional partnerships, including demonstrations of ammonia capture technology at the massive coal - fired Pleasant Prairie power plant in Kenosha County, Wisc., and the R. E. Burger plant in Shadyside, Ohio.

In this future scenario with a high need for CDR, if the PUC had built the coal + CCS project, it could choose to retrofit the plant to a biomass + CCS power plant capable of removing carbon from the atmosphere at a relatively small incremental cost.

These lifecycle emissions continue, even if coal or gas plants add CCS, which also may not capture 100 % of emissions at the power plant.

Once the nation commits to a rapid timetable for requiring CCS systems at all new coal plants under an emission performance standard, then all of our regulatory and research and development efforts should be focused on implementing CCS technology as effectively as possible.

The great challenge is ensuring that widespread deployment of CCS systems at new IGCC and pulverized coal plants occurs on a timely basis.

While EPA did not propose that CCS represented BSER [best system of emission reduction], EPA stated in the preamble of the proposed NSPS rule that «CCS is technologically feasible for implementation at new coal - fired power plants and its core components (CO2 capture, compression, transportation and storage) have already been implemented at commercial scale.»

It's worth noting that despite the significant role for CCS in its scenarios, the IEA says under a 2C or higher path: «Coal - fired power plants with CCS become too carbon intensive at a certain point, since 10 - 15 % of their emissions are not captured.»

4th generation nuclear power (4th GNP) and coal - fired power plants with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) at present are the best candidates to provide large baseload nearly carbon - free power (in case renewable energies can not do the entire job).

CCS, which is currently deployed at a coal - fired power station at Boundary Dam in Canada, captures 90 % of the plants CO2 emissions.

However, because of the enormous number of dirty coal - fired power plants in existence, the abundance of the fuel, and the fact that CCS technology could be used at biofuel - fired power plants to draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide, the technology deserves strong R&D support.

A year ago, the world's largest coal - fuelled CCS facility came online at the Petra Nova plant in Texas and it's already captured more than a million tonnes of CO2.

Earlier this week, the energy company, NRG, announced that its CO2 capture and storage (CCS) project at a coal - fired power plant in Texas had begun commercial operation.
