Carbon Capture Coalition Statement on the 2024 Election 

The following statement on the 2024 election is attributable to Jessie Stolark, executive director of the Carbon Capture Coalition, a non-partisan collaboration of more than 100 companies, labor organizations, and non-profits building policy support for carbon management technologies. 

“For more than a decade the Carbon Capture Coalition and its diverse membership has demonstrated an unwavering commitment – no matter the balance of power in Washington – to our mission to build federal policy support to enable economywide, commercial scale deployment of carbon management technologies.  

“The results of the 2024 election underscore the need for durable, bipartisan solutions to our climate and energy challenges. What remains clear is the role carbon management technologies must play as an essential piece of a broader federal strategy to reduce planet-warming emissions, provide reliable American energy, and preserve and create jobs that families and local economies depend upon while spurring investment in domestic energy, industry, and manufacturing sectors.    

“Historically, robust and wide-ranging bipartisan support for carbon management technologies has played a crucial role in advancing these technologies. We must continue to work to deploy these technologies at the levels necessary to have a meaningful impact on rising global temperatures while safeguarding our nation’s economic interests.  

“Looking forward, we will continue to work with Members of Congress across the political spectrum and President-elect Trump’s administration to pursue widely supported, bipartisan solutions to ensure carbon management technologies fulfill their full potential as a critical tool for providing tangible emissions reductions while also supporting local economies and communities.”
