You Won’t Get the 45Q Tax Credit for Your CCS Project Without This
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. CCS works by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions sources, transporting it to a secure storage location, and storing it permanently underground. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 includes significant tax credits for CCS projects. The IRA increased the […]
