This issue brief is one in a series the Atlantic Council is publishing on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), a business-driven path and US Department of Energy (DOE) policy to promote carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage. It discusses the unique opportunity the country faces to capitalize on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) to reduce both foreign oil imports and domestic CO2 emissions, and to generate significant economic activity. It also examines CCUS economic issues, including CO2-capture costs, project risks, and emerging business models.
