April 2008 – President Bush’s new goal:•To stop the growth in CO2 and CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases by 2025, and thereafter to reverse them

April 2008 Rose Garden speech: “We have slowed the growth in emissions…. Now is the time for the U.S. to look beyond 2012 and take the next step.”

Changes in Net GHG Emissions* 2000-2006 for 17 Major Economies

Changes in Net GHG Emissions* 2000-2006 for 17 Major Economies

*Includes emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons, and perfluorocarbons, as well as emissions and removals of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide from land-use, land-use change and forestry activities.**2006 UNFCCC data not yet available; 2001 through 2005 UNFCCC data used.***No UNFCCC data available for time period; 2001 through 2005 IEA data used.Sources: 2008 National Inventory Reports and Common Reporting Formats at http://unfccc.int/national_reports/annex_i_ghg_inventories/ national_inventories_submissions/items/4303.php and IEA Online Energy Services a http://data.iea.org/ieastore/statslisting.asp (Accessed June 2 2008).

Reducing Emissions through Efficiency and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Reducing Emissions through Efficiency and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Efficiency• Maximizing efficiency is a major pathway to

reducing CO2; • At least 1.7 gigatons of CO2 emissions per

year could be avoided through steps to raise worldwide efficiency (IEA report)

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)• Indispensible technology to deal with

energy and climate concerns

Third Round of the Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI-3) and Revised FutureGen

Third Round of the Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI-3) and Revised FutureGen

CCPI-3• $340 million• Multiple

demonstrations capable of 90 percent CO2 capture

• Storage or beneficial use of CO2

• At least 300,000 tons of CO2 per year

Revised FutureGen• Increased Federal

funding at $1.3 billion

• Multiple demonstrations capable of 81 to 90 percent CO2 capture

• Cover cost of adding CCS or 50 percent of project cost

• Expected to capture and store up to 1 million tons of CO2 per year in deep saline reservoir

Both Initiatives are aimed at commercial-scale capture and storage and aim at multiple demonstrations.

13

Commercialization StatusCommercialization Status

Duke Energy construction of 630 megawatt (MW) Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant

• Edwardsport, Indiana• Replace very old 160 MW coal fired plant• 45 percent less CO2 per kilowatt-hour

Other IGCC plants and advanced coal systems are under construction around the worldStorage technologies are in developmentNear-zero emissions plants are moving forward
