19 Carbon Sequestration Programs See Government Funding

Filed in archive Clean Coal by Greg Cruey on August 31, 2009

VentureBeat reported recently on the U.S. Department of Energy's announced intention to provide $27.6 million in funding for 19 different projects testing "the efficiency of underground carbon dioxide sequestration as a potential strategy for reducing greenhouse gases and preventing global warming."

Coal provides the US with a dilemma. It provides half the country's electricity and 80% of it's green house gas production. If carbon sequestration technology can be brought to an effective and affordable level, replacing coal as an energy source becomes much less urgent - perhaps even unnecessary.
