This problematic approach is another example of the tears-in-the-ocean choices of climate mitigation policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor twenty years,\u201d he begins, \u201cI have argued that CCS has an important role to play in managing emissions from industries where practical alternatives remain limited.\u201d The progress to date has been small, and the effect on global emissions minuscule. He explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, global operating nameplate capture capacity is approximately 60 million tonnes a year. If fully utilised, that would represent gross capture equivalent to roughly 14-15 hours of annual global energy and industrial emissions. Actual verified net storage is lower\u2026. Closing even the gap between today\u2019s operating capacity and the announced [EIA estimated] 2030 pipeline would require an extraordinary acceleration in permitting, financing, construction, commissioning and sustained operating performance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interest and potential investment are there, he believes, but \u201cdelivery\u201d is small and problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026 announcements are not delivery, storage resources are not injection capacity, and nameplate capacity is not independently verified climate impact. The next phase of CCS must therefore be more demanding than the last. By 2030, success should no longer be measured primarily by the number of projects announced, memoranda signed, licences awarded or billions committed. It should be measured by verified net tonnes securely stored, year after year. That requires a tougher delivery model.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He alludes to the problem of getting from hyperbole to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have largely solved the problem of attracting interest and announcing investment. We have not yet solved the delivery problem. That distinction matters because CCS cannot indefinitely be judged by its potential. Nor should every delay be explained by saying that the industry simply needs more policy support or more public money. After two decades, the burden of proof must begin to shift.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift also requires greater honesty about how progress is reported. Too many of the institutions responsible for advocacy and industry leadership still present CCS largely as a good-news story. New projects, funding awards and headline capacity are publicised; delays, cancellations, operating shortfalls and the absence of verified storage receive much less attention.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Final Comment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Government incentives for carbon capture and storage, formalized in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/110th-congress\/house-bill\/6049\">Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/pcor.undeerc.org\/policy-regulatory\/incentive-programs\/\">Section 45Q tax credit<\/a>), should be terminated to please the free-market community and many environmentalists. <strong>[2]<\/strong> The whole initiative is inconsequential to global or regional climate, and projects have been opposed by local residents in the U.S. and elsewhere. <strong>[3]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[1]<\/strong> Martin Jagger\u2019s bio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/martin-jagger-409b4a1b1\/\">reads<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am an Executive Consultant in Energy Transition Strategy and Decarbonisation Delivery with a track record of bringing operator discipline to CCS policy and projects. I established Shell\u2019s Carbon Capture and Storage Centre of Excellence in 2007 and helped shape international frameworks for long-term CO\u2082 storage that informed UNFCCC CDM mechanisms and regulatory guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I currently advise sovereigns, regulators and innovators on areas where policy realism, technical feasibility and capital must align. My work tests the credibility of targets, the true scaling pathways for CCS and low-carbon fuels, and the structural barriers that stall momentum \u2013 especially FID drag, subsidy distortion, infrastructure mis-sequencing and the policy-performance gap.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[2]<\/strong> The tax credits since 2022 are $85 per ton of CO\u2082 stored for dedicated geologic storage projects and $60 per ton for CO\u2082 utilization projects with associated storage, increased subsidies from $50 and $35 (2018) and $20 and $10 (2008). A summary of federal largess from Taxpayers for Common Sense reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For decades, the federal government has provided billions of dollars in both direct and indirect subsidies to support CCS technology and projects. These subsidies have included research, development, and demonstration (RD&amp;D) funding, loan guarantees, and tax credits.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past few decades some of these subsidies have gone to projects that have been repeatedly started and stopped, only to eventually collapse due to various economic issues and controversies (e.g., FutureGen, Kemper). Additionally, the 45Q tax credit, which has grown significantly in both size and scope, has been mired in fraud and waste. To date, the federal government has spent tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on CCS through research and development funding and tax credits, yet the technology is still struggling with widescale deployment issues due to high costs\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), Congress provided roughly $9 billion (in nominal dollars) in annual appropriations for DOE\u2019s FECM from FY2010 to FY2023, with over $2.8 billion specifically directed towards CCS line items\u2026. Congress appropriated $12 billion more to the technology through the infrastructure law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, P.L. 117-58) and greatly expanded the already lucrative tax credit in the Inflation Reduction Act (Public Law 117-169).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[3]<\/strong> There are currently 15 operating CCS facilities in the U.S. and another 120 projects under development.
