This article looks at how climate change is spiking growth in a clean technology called carbon capture and storage (CCS) that lowers CO2 emissions from our use of fossil fuels. Think of our current situation this way: the longer it takes to lower our emissions, the more we will pay. Carbon capture and storage is about taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and permanently re-using or storing it away.

Having ‘clean coal’ in a group’s name is a bit like a red flashing light on the road ahead to a healthier economy and a smarter grid.
