DOE Science Showcase - Carbon Sequestration

The U.S. Department of Energy created a nationwide network of seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP).

Reliance on fossil fuels, expanded transportation and deforestation has resulted in the accumulation of carbon dioxide or CO₂ in our atmosphere. This excess CO₂ is the primary greenhouse gas that is contributing to recent climate extremes. Carbon capture and long-term safe and secure storage (carbon sequestration) could play an important role in mitigating climate change. The Department of Energy’s carbon capture and storage research programs are making significant progress with carbon sequestration technology. This research community includes a network of federal, state and private sector regional partnerships, and interagency, industrial, and international programs.
