Why Sequester CO2??

• Like it or not, fossil fuels will remain the mainstay of energy production well into the 21st century.

• Availability of these fuels to provide clean, affordable energy is essential for the prosperity and security of the United States.

• However, increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to carbon emissions are expected unless energy systems reduce the carbon emissions to the atmosphere.

• Anthropogenic Green House Gases (GHG’s) may be contributing to Global Climate Change.

• To a degree, CO2 is a useful byproduct. So, why not capture it?
