The Power of a Unified Voice

Led by the CalChamber, the California Carbon Partnership (CCP) is a diverse coalition dedicated to advocating and educating for the urgent and rapid deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an essential bridge technology to help the state meet its 2045 carbon neutrality goals.

Roads to Removal: Options for Carbon Dioxide Removal in the United States

There is an urgent need to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to ensure climate security and resilience. In 2022, the United States set a goal of developing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathways that will remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it at the gigaton scale (at least a billion tonnes per year).

An Essential Tool to Achieve Carbon Neutrality in California

The California Air Resources Board’s Scoping Plan – a roadmap to achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 — recognizes CCS as “an essential tool” to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting our climate goals. The successful deployment of CCS around the world showcases its scalability and adaptability. California is uniquely positioned to leverage this global experience, integrating CCS into its hard-to-decarbonize sectors to lower emissions.

What They're Saying

See what key leaders throughout the state are saying about Carbon Capture and Storage.

“We know from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that there is no path to carbon neutrality without carbon capture and sequestration.”
Governor Gavin NewsomIn a 2022 Letter to the Chair of the California Air Resources Board
Governor Gavin Newsom
“We’re already behind on meeting those climate goals. Any delays in moving ahead with carbon capture and storage will fundamentally harm all of us.”
John ThompsonDirector, Clean Air Task Force (CATF)

“Carbon capture and sequestration projects, when deployed in an equitable way that supports the health and economic resiliency of overburdened and underserved communities while ensuring local benefits are maximized, can be a critical tool to achieving deep decarbonization at least cost."
Andrew PlaceState Energy and Climate Policy Director, Clean Air Task Force (CATF)
“By capturing and storing carbon dioxide from polluting sources, we can make real progress in tackling the climate crisis and in moving toward a clean energy future.”
Jennifer M. GranholmU.S. Secretary of Energy
Jennifer M. Granholm
“While it may sound like a futuristic technology, CCS has been used in the United States for over half a century and continues to grow in use both in the U.S. and around the globe. In California, it is considered a crucial element of the Governor’s plan to reduce emissions.”
Julian CañetePresident and CEO of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (CHCC)
Julian Cañete
“Beyond their ability to help our state reach its pressing emission reduction goals, CCS projects bring good-paying jobs and promising economic development to our state. A 2022 assessment from the Department of Energy found that the growth of the CCS market is expected to produce between 390,000 and 1.8 million high-quality jobs across various industries nationwide.”
Julian CañetePresident and CEO of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (CHCC)

“We cannot meet President Biden’s climate goals, or the global 1.5° C target agreed to in Paris, without economy wide deployment of carbon capture and carbon removal at scale."
Jennifer M. GranholmU.S. Secretary of Energy
Jennifer M. Granholm
"As set forth in the California Air Resources Board (CARB) draft Scoping Plan, achieving carbon neutrality in California by 2045 requires carbon capture and storage, which provides a permanent solution to mitigate emissions from large, hard-to-abate industries like cement, steel, and heavy-duty transport”
Andrew PlaceState Energy and Climate Policy Director, Clean Air Task Force (CATF)
“Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects have emerged as one of the most promising possibilities for our state to reduce overall emissions and create new economic opportunities.”
