Summary:

Introduces key policy issues related to carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), which involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by power plants and other sources and storing it indefinitely to avoid release into the atmosphere. Summarizes technological requirements for CO2 pipeline transportation under a comprehensive CCS strategy, characterizes these requirements relative to existing CO2 pipeline infrastructure in the U.S. used for enhanced oil recovery, and summarizes policy issues related to CO2 pipeline construction and development.
