U.S. Department of Energy – Carbon Management Strategy, Oct 2024

The U.S. Department of Energy's "Carbon Management Strategy," released in October 2024, outlines a comprehensive roadmap for developing and deploying carbon management solutions aligned with national climate, economic, and social priorities. The strategy emphasizes the acceleration of carbon management technologies and infrastructure to achieve a carbon-neutral power sector by 2035 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by 2050. It focuses on research, development, demonstration, and deployment funding for priority use cases, building out CO₂ transportation and storage infrastructure, supporting effective policies and regulations, engaging communities and workers to ensure projects deliver benefits and mitigate potential risks, and supporting climate diplomacy efforts to accelerate global adoption of carbon management technologies. The strategy also highlights the importance of community engagement, delivering clear benefits to local workers, and providing robust environmental protections in line with the administration's commitment to environmental justice and equity.
