As America and the world move toward policies to stabilize and reduce carbon emissions, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies present one of the most promising and effective options for large-scale reductions in CO2 emissions from energy use.

CCS is the latest in a portfolio of clean coal technologies that have successfully managed emissions from coal-based generation.

New: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has produced a "Technology Roadmap: Carbon capture and storage" report outlining how CCS technology may evolve over the next 40 years. A summary fold out of the report's finding is available below.
