Carbon Sequestration
Research and Development

A 1999 Report by
DOE's Office of Fossil Energy and Office of Science

Under the guidance of two major offices within the Department of Energy - the Office of Fossil Energy and the Office of Science - researchers from universities, industry, other government agencies, and national laboratories were brought together to develop the technical basis for a science and technology road map. That effort has resulted in this report, which develops much of the information needed for the road map.
