Alstom commends Obama’s CCS Task force

Carbon capture and storage technology developer Alstom has commended the Obama administration for establishing a task force to promote the development of carbon capture and storage in the US.

Alstom, a member of the US Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), was one of a number of companies that signed on to a full-page advertisement recently calling for Congress to take action on climate legislation as soon as possible.

Pierre Gauthier, Alstom’s US country president said, ‘Carbon capture and storage is an area where the government and the private sector need to work in co-operation. Companies such as Alstom are moving forward to commercialise this key clean technology solution, but our customers need clarity on the legal and regulatory rules that will influence decisions on how and when to apply carbon capture and storage. This task force is ideally suited to address such issues. ..’

As we know Alstom is a global leader in power generation and is in the forefront of developing innovative and environmentally friendly technologies.Gautier’s response to the task force appears to me in keeping with the concerns of the company.
