President Biden has laid out a bold and ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the U.S. by 2050. The pathway to that target includes cutting total greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and eliminating them entirely from the nation’s electricity sector by 2035. Meeting those objectives will require investing in technology research, design, development, and deployment, including investments in carbon capture at point sources as well as carbon dioxide removal approaches that target accumulated atmospheric carbon.

Jennifer Wilcox is the principal deputy assistant secretary in the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management at the U.S. Department of Energy and is on leave as the Presidential Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering and Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.
