Note
The Department of Energy has announced two direct air capture hubs: the South Texas DAC Hub in Texas and Project Cypress in Louisiana. In this analysis, we quantify the economic and job benefits associated with these two announced DAC hub projects.
Report
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is gaining attention as an important piece of the US decarbonization puzzle. We assess the landscape of different CDR approaches, and policy options to help CDR scale to the level required for decarbonization by 2050.
Note
Setting clear, attainable, predictable eligibility requirements for the 45V tax credit is the first step in getting clean hydrogen off the ground.
