Findings and Recommendations by the California Carbon Capture and Storage Review Panel
Abstract
Recognizing the importance of CCS for California’s industrial and electricity sectors, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Energy Commission (Energy Commission), and the Air Resources Board (ARB) created a CCS Review Panel in February 2010. The Panel, composed of experts from industry, trade groups, academia, and environmental organizations, was asked to: 1. Identify, discuss, and frame specific policies addressing the role of CCS technology in meeting the State’s energy needs and greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies for 2020 and 2050; and 2. Support development of a legal/regulatory framework for permitting proposed CCS projects consistent with the State’s energy and environmental policy objectives. The Panel held five public meetings on April 22, June 2, August 18, October 21, and December 15, 2010,7 to arrive at its findings and recommendations. These meetings were designed to solicit input from technical experts and key stakeholders and to allow the Panel to deliberate in an open, public setting.
