Carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) technologies and approaches are critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation, industrial, and power sectors, and a key ingredient to creating a more sustainable and equitable energy system. Implementing CCUS more broadly will require navigating technology, policy, and science issues at the state and national level and attention to a broad set of equity and environmental justice concerns.
“Carbon Capture & Energy: Everything’s Bigger in Texas” is the third set of panels being convened as part of the Women In Energy CCUS Roadshow. These conversations highlight leading experts in the field of CCUS with a special focus on local policy and deployment. The Center on Global Energy Policy’s Carbon Management Research Initiative and Women in Energy program hosted a webinar addressing the vital role of carbon capture in greenhouse gas emissions reductions and carbon dioxide removal.
The conversation focused on the status of carbon capture policy and technology in Texas, including how carbon removal technology fits into strategies to address climate change and bring global greenhouse gas emission to the equivalent of zero. We also explored how it can contribute to a more just energy transition and how to assure safe and effective deployment of the technology. A panel of exceptional leaders then discussed a recent analysis by Susan Hovorka at the Bureau of Economic Geology and recent announcements by Occidental Petroleum on carbon storage resources, state and federal regulations, technological advances, and commercial opportunities in carbon dioxide use and removal, and efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector.

On October 22, the United States Department of the Treasury announced the imposition of sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, as a penalty for what it characterized as a lack of Russian commitment to ending the war in Ukraine.
The NRC is already experimenting and making improvements in reducing licensing review times without changing the diligence or substance of its evaluations, and the results are promising. If the projected volume of applications materializes, the NRC will need to continue to apply the new approaches it has begun using, as well as seek out additional efficiencies. This paper lays out actionable recommendations on what NRC can do now—under existing statutory authority—to further compress schedules while preserving safety, due process, and analytical quality.
