Assessing Carbon Sequestration: Will It Have a Real Role to Play in the Transition to a Clean Energy Future‪?‬ Climate and Energy

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is seen as both crucial to achieving desired levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and prohibitively expensive. Furthermore, there is uncertainty over CCS’s safety and feasibility. To have a real role in a clean energy future, what CCS developments, demonstrations, and discoveries must take place?

The first annual conference of the Yale Climate and Energy Institute convened leaders in science, policy, business, and international affairs to discuss the barriers that prevent clean energy from achieving full-scale deployment as well as solutions for overcoming those barriers.
