Development of advanced carbon emission reduction technologies, supported

Summary

An Alabama House resolution urging federal and state action to advance carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies for power generation.

What This Bill Does

The resolution expresses support for parity in U.S. energy policy to recognize CCUS as a key tool for reducing emissions while keeping electricity affordable. It calls for long-term policies that create a positive business case for CCUS deployment, including for secondary uses of CO2. It asks for increased funding and incentives for research, development, and deployment of transformational CCS/CCUS technologies and for collaboration with the electricity industry to identify suitable CO2 storage sites, with copies sent to key officials.

Who It Affects

• Federal policymakers and national energy policy makers, who would be urged to recognize CCUS and develop long-term policies that support its deployment and a positive business case.
• Alabama’s energy industry and electricity generation sector, which would collaborate on storage-site identification and benefit from policy and funding support to advance CCUS technologies.

Key Provisions

• Urges federal, state, and local policymakers to recognize the role of capture and storage technologies and to develop long-term policies that create a positive business case for CCUS deployment, including for secondary uses of CO2.
• Calls for stronger policy measures to increase research, development, and deployment resources so transformational CCS/CCUS technologies can be demonstrated, proven, and commercially available, and for collaboration with the electricity industry to identify suitable storage sites.
