Proven potential
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the few proven technologies with the potential to significantly reduce emissions from certain hard-to-decarbonize sectors, such as manufacturing and heavy industry. We have a concept for a CCS hub along the Houston Ship Channel, which has the potential to capture about 100 million metric tons of CO2 annually by 2040 and could help Houston achieve its net-zero goal. However, new policies are needed to spur the investment required to deploy CCS at such a pace and scale. To move forward in Houston, these key and immediate actions are required:
