The Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) created by President Barack Obama (D) has issued a report that includes recommendations on how to overcome barriers to the widespread cost- effective deployment of CCS within 10 years. CCS represents technologies for capturing, compressing, transporting, and permanently storing power plant and industrial source emissions of carbon dioxide.

The report concludes that CCS can play a crucial role in domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) emis- sions reductions while preserving the option of using coal and other abundant domestic fossil energy resources. The report includes input from 14 federal agencies and departments, stakeholders and CCS experts.

The reports main findings and recommendations include the following: (i)
