Our goal is to accelerate commercial deployment of industrial innovation and carbon management solutions to take full economic advantage of our nation’s energy resources, protect and create high-wage jobs, and ensure we meet midcentury goals for reducing US and global carbon emissions.
Carbon management technologies (carbon capture, reuse, transport, storage, and direct air capture) can reduce emissions in key industries. Carbon capture is currently the only technology available to manage emissions from a number of industrial processes essential to modern economies. The technology can also be paired with bioenergy projects to produce energy with net-zero or negative carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. We engage a broad set of interests at federal and state levels to advance financial incentives and other policies that will drive carbon management and related infrastructure projects forward.
Geography
This work is national in scope, including focused work at the federal level and complementary initiatives among more than a dozen states across the US.
Our three-year goals
Over the next three years, our goals are to:
- Engage stakeholders at federal, regional, and state levels to advance project deployment and community benefits through education, advocacy, and collaboration.
- Build industry, labor, and NGO consensus to create midcentury industrial innovation and carbon management blueprints while integrating environmental justice perspectives.
- Develop and implement comprehensive domestic policies and incentives to drive the commercial deployment of industrial innovation and carbon management technologies.
- Ensure equitable benefits from project development for workers and communities through fact-based policy design and engagement.
- Achieve economies of scale in deploying industrial innovation, carbon management technologies, and supporting infrastructure.

A national leader in industrial innovation and carbon capture deployment
Carbon Capture Coalition
The Carbon Capture Coalition is a nonpartisan, nonprofit collaboration of companies, labor unions, and conservation and environmental policy organizations. Coalition members work together to lay the groundwork for the necessary portfolio of federal policy support to enable nationwide, commercial-scale deployment of carbon management technologies. The full suite of carbon management technologies is necessary to drive down emissions across sectors, bolster domestic energy and industrial sectors, and support workers with a broad range of skill sets. It includes carbon capture, removal, transport, reuse, and storage from industrial facilities, power plants, and ambient air.

Industrial Innovation Initiative (I3)
The Industrial Innovation Initiative (I3) is an ambitious coalition of key industry, environmental, labor, and other stakeholders, together with state officials, that aims to drive emissions reductions through policy change, supporting quality jobs and investment in key US industrial sectors. I3 builds on years of stakeholder engagement and work with state officials in the Midcontinent region, as well as extensive work advancing decarbonization solutions important to the industrial sector.

Carbon Action Alliance
GPI’s Carbon Action Alliance is a national network of stakeholders working to equitably deploy industrial innovation and carbon management projects that are needed to meet midcentury climate goals.

State and regional efforts
Our state and regional work aims to help states and regions be carbon capture ready. Carbon management has the potential to support and grow economies by protecting and creating high-wage jobs and utilizing energy resources while ensuring a sustainable environment for future generations. Each state has its own unique geography, economy, resources, facilities, and policy landscape. On our Carbon Capture Ready website, we publish analyses and reports on facilities with the most potential for carbon management, the state and federal policies in place or under consideration, and resources, data, and analysis to help inform policy and decision-making.
