Overview
This is a GOS grant to Great Plains Institute is fund policy research and coalition building around carbon capture and storage. This is best viewed as a short term grant to maintain capacity in the field until Climate Works the Foundation has completed it's strategy on this issue. In this time frame, however, the Great Plain Institute will expand the coalition of interests supporting carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) and advocate for programs within the Department of Energy to support R and D, loan guarantees and tax credits.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Great Plains Institute accelerates the transition to net-zero carbon emissions to benefit people, the economy, and the environment. Leading with trust, inclusion, equity, and pragmatism, the institute advances strategies that increase energy conservation, efficiency, and productivity; decarbonize the production of electricity and electrify more of the economy; adopt zero-, low-, and carbon-negative fuels and practices to decarbonize whatever cannot be electrified across the other major emissions sectors; and deploy carbon capture, removal, transport, use, and storage to achieve a net reduction of emissions in the atmosphere.

for the Conveners’ Network
The Conveners’ Network, a project of the Great Plains Institute, supports state-level planning that leverages federal resources to achieve deep reductions in climate pollution. The network will support states in developing comprehensive plans funded through the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, which will help states unlock federal decarbonization resources.

for the carbon management program
The Great Plains Institute’s carbon management program supports the deployment of carbon capture technologies at the scale and pace of deployment that climate science deems necessary to achieve midcentury decarbonization. The institute’s approach supports community engagement with a careful eye to supporting analysis and research on the potential benefits and harms at the community level.
