“There is no silver bullet or technology that will address climate change on its own. That’s why we need a comprehensive portfolio of carbon management solutions, including carbon capture and storage, that can be used, collectively, to improve energy and industrial sectors that are currently difficult to decarbonize and to do so in a sustainable way”

“CCS technology will play a significant role in helping California meet its ambitious climate goals. The Central Valley Energy Coalition is an advocate for this much-needed technology. I look forward to helping them advance their goals of educating and informing the Central Valley about local energy production and how carbon capture technology will safely and effectively meet California’s climate goals and protect jobs for Valley residents.”
