☆ Biden EPA to issue power plant rules that lean on carbon capture
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Valerie Volcovici | Thomson Reuters | Valerie Volcovici Covers U.S. Environment | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Most new gas plants currently do not pay for emitting carbon, so the rules could make it harder for them to compete with solar and wind power. Second, the Inflation Reduction Act created tax credits making carbon capture and hydrogen more affordable and affirmed EPA's authority to regulate power plants. Existing technology can capture and store approximately 90% of carbon emissions, Lynch said. The EIA projected that this year, 54% of new generation (21GW) will be solar and 14% will be natural gas (7.5GW). Southern, which also runs the National Carbon Capture Center with the Department of Energy, said commercial deployment of carbon capture technology "is many years away" despite the cost-reduction potential of the Inflation Reduction Act.
