Carbon capture’s flawed foundation: DOE evidence buried in Biden EPA’s climate policy overreach
06/12/2025 / By Willow Tohi
Biden’s EPA omitted key DOE critiques of carbon capture technology, undermining its own Clean Power Plan 2.0 regulations.
Missing comments revealed CCUS as prohibitively expensive and technically flawed, casting doubt on CPP2’s feasibility.
DOE’s National Energy Technology Lab identified the $1B Boundary Dam Project as an 8-year failure, capturing only 57% of CO2.
Courts and states argue the rule violates legal safeguards for affordable energy, citing EPA’s own modeling predicting minimal CCUS adoption.
Legal experts say the agency’s hidden flaws could invalidate the rule, mirroring the 2021 Supreme Court’s rejection of the original Clean Power Plan.
