Carbon capture technology could take off this decade - report (rtcc.org)

"The development of technology allowing power plants to burn fossil fuels without spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is accellerating, a report has found."

The report is from the Global CCS Institute, which notes a significant increase in construction and operation of carbon capture and storage facilities since 2011.

It registers 13 operating plants wordwide, another eight to go online by 2016, and a total of 27 projects in the pipeline (twelve in China, nine in the US and six in Europe).

The next two large-scale CCS facilities projects expected to come online are Kemper County Energy Facility in Mississippi and the Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project in Texas.

Of course, the number of projects fall far short of where we should be at this point, but at least the arrows are turning (slowly) in the right direction.
