Carbon Sequestration Technology Roadmap and Program Plan
March, 2003
 On February 14, 2002 President Bush announced the Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI) with the goal of significantly reducing the greenhouse gas intensity of the United States economy over the next 10 years, while sustaining the economic growth needed to finance investment in new, clean energy technologies. The GCCI calls for increased research and development investments to provide an improved basis for sound future decisions and for increased emphasis on carbon sequestration.
In response to GCCI and related drivers, this document represents the current (2003) program vision of how the federal government's research and development program should proceed in developing carbon sequestration technology. It is both a roadmap and a program plan. The roadmap portion identifies RD&D pathways that lead to commercially viable carbon capture and sequestration systems. The program plan presents a course of action.
