Energy Department Projects Safely and Permanently Store 10 Million Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide

摘要

In a landmark accomplishment, the U.S. Department of Energy is announcing that a group of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects supported by the Department have safely captured 10 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (C02) - the equivalent of removing more than 2 million passenger vehicles from the nation's roads for one year. This milestone builds on the Obama administration's goals of providing clean energy, supporting American jobs, and reducing emissions of carbon pollution. Rapid commercial development and deployment of clean coal technologies, particularly CCS, will help position the United States as a leader in the clean energy race.
