https:/crsreports.congress.gov Updated July 2, 2018FY2019 Funding for CCS and Other DOE Fossil Energy R&DCarbon Capture and Sequestration Overview Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS, sometimes called carbon capture and storage) is a process that aims to capture man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) at its source and store it to prevent its release to the atmosphere. CCS could reduce the amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants and other large, industrial facilities. An integrated CCS system would include three main steps: (1) separating CO2 from other gases and capturing it; (2) purifying, compressing, and transporting the CO2 to the sequestration site; and (3) injecting the CO2 into subsurface geological reservoirs. Funding Overview The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has supported research and development (R&D) of aspects of the three main steps leading to an integrated CCS system since 1997. From FY2012 to FY2018, Congress has provided more than $4 billion in appropriations for CCS activities at DOE. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L. 111-5) provided an additional $3.4 billion to that total. CCS-focused R&D has come to do
