Carbon Utilization Infrastructure, Markets, and Research and Development: A Final Report
Requested by Congress in P.L.116-260, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, this report is the second report of a two-part study.
The study's first report assessed the state of infrastructure for CO2 transportation, use, and storage, highlighting priority opportunities for further investment. This second report identifies potential markets and commercialization opportunities for CO2- and coal waste-derived products, examines economic, environmental, and climate impacts of CO2 utilization infrastructure, and puts forward a comprehensive research agenda for carbon utilization technologies.
This briefing was for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on August 7, 2024 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
