Carbon capture got a $12 billion boost under Joe Biden through increased tax incentives and funding.

With projects scattered nationwide, including dozens in Republican states, there may be less appetite to include them in budget cuts.

Experts and industry advocates doubt demand for the technology will go away as long as utilities face state-level climate change goals.

Carbon capture’s doubters include both conservative policy organizations and environmental groups.

Some environmental groups oppose carbon capture largely because they see it as dubious cover to maintain fossil fuel production.

Others on the right say building out the network of pipelines and injection wells necessary for carbon capture threatens to trample on private property rights.

For the Carbon Capture Coalition , the technology is a middle ground recognizing that neither carbon-free energy production nor an end to burning fossil fuels will happen overnight.
