In their guidance establishing what could be considered Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for regulating GHGs in the permitting process, EPA stated that fuel - switching from coal to natural gas would not and could not be considered BACT: Since NSPS are traditionally interpreted to set the BACT «floor» for permitting purposes, how can a NSPS that eliminates the ability to construct new coal units without the implementation of commercially infeasible carbon capture and storage (CCS) be consistent with EPA's previous guidance?

One questioner suggested that biomass was not a particularly good way of removing carbon from the atmosphere, as growing trees usually takes too long for it to be effective, although other participants thought that fast growing trees were a good way of capturing carbon.

For example, the cost of Southern Company's Kemper County integrated gasification combined cycle plant (designed to capture 65 % of carbon dioxide emissions) has risen from roughly $ 2 billion in 2006 to well over $ 5 billion as of mid-2014.

The Global CCS Institute's report, referring to carbon capture and sequestration, found that «while C.C.S. projects are progressing, the pace is well below the level required for C.C.S. to make a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation.»

The leader in capture and sequestration, as the technique is known, is the United States, the report said, although that is mostly because of the use of carbon dioxide for stimulating the flow of oil out of old wells.

The following statement captures the key principles that we have been advocating for a number of years, including an explanation for why we believe a revenue - neutral carbon tax is the best option to fulfill these key principles.

There has been much ado about flashier carbon - capture systems, like geologic sequestration, which involves collecting carbon dioxide and injecting it deep below the Earth's surface — into depleted oil or gas wells, for example.

Carbon Engineering's technology is based on a 100 - year - old industrial process made up of well - understood and existing technology, integrating an air contactor and a regeneration cycle for continuous capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide and production of pure carbon dioxide.

This has left us with highly variable estimates of project costs, ranging from Klaus Lackner's claim that air capture could be effectuated for less than $ 100 per ton of carbon dioxide to more than $ 1000 in a 2011 study, as well as the American Physical Society's estimate of about $ 600 per ton.
