Cameron calls for coal phase out
The exact words of the tweet from the UK Prime Minister during the UN General Assembly: "We’ve said no to new coal [without] carbon capture and storage and plan to phase out existing coal over next 10-15 years." 

The message is clear.  No new coal plants without CCS in the UK.  Taken at face value, this message could mean a lot of CCS activity in the coming years.

Second ADM sequestration OK'd
Another roadblock cleared for a second, significantly scaled-up sequestration project at Decatur!  With the FutureGen II project also moving forward, Illinois is becoming an interesting place from a CCS perspective.

SaskPower to launch carbon-capture power plant
Seems like the CCS operations at the Boundary Dam plant will finally start this week.  Whereas part of the captured CO2 will be sold for EOR operations, the article also suggest that a significant amount will be directly sequestered three kilometers underground.

Of course, some environmental organizations would rather see the money being invested in non-carbon energy.  But what would then happen with all the world's coal plants - could we assume they would just go away?
