BioSequestration Policy Pathways
A policy research and evaluation effort led by:
The Clean & Prosperous Institute

Our Operating Framework
Climate change is real, caused mostly by combusting fossil fuels
It’s a crisis –
Risk to our health, way of life, and economy
IPCC: we only have 10 years to cut net emissions in half.
The severity of the crisis depends on the net of:
+ Ongoing GHGs emissions
– Atmospheric GHGs absorbed and stored on the planet (“sequestration”)
Bio-sequestration can
play a major role in meeting our net reductions
~30% of gross emissions are being offset by naturally occurring biosequestration
Create a stable and growing financial boon for Rural America – “farming carbon”

This analysis examines the rate impacts of eliminating coal power, achieving an 80% clean energy standard by the year 2030, and a 100% clean energy standard by the year 2045. CaPI relies on a variety of sources, and deploys its own utility-specific model.
