Carbon Capture as a False Climate Solution

Join us for an EcoAction Committee webinar on Monday, July 8, 8 PM ET on why carbon capture is a false climate solution

Earth Justice describes Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as technologies that capture carbon emissions at fossil-fueled power plants and industrial facilities. The carbon is then either sequestered underground or put to use.

For years, this technology has been championed by the fossil fuel industry as a way to keep burning coal and gas purportedly with a smaller climate impact. With new taxpayer subsidies available, including in the Inflation Reduction Act, we could see a boom in new CCS and CCUS projects.

Presenters include Jim Walsh from Food and Water Watch;  Maggie Coulter from Center for Biological Diversity; and Carolyn Raffensperger from SEHN (Science and Environmental Health Network).
