To Educate the Public, Policy Makers, Industry, and Other Stakeholders and Build a Consensus on the Benefits of Carbon Capture Utilization Sequestration and Clean Fossil Energy Technologies.

In keeping with its mission to increase understanding of energy developments domestically and internationally, USEA’s Consensus Program, launched in 2008, promotes consensus on the need for Clean Fossil Energy technologies to utilize the abundance of America’s energy and natural resources to provide reliable and affordable electricity and meet the world’s energy needs. While dramatic progress continues to be made in developing these technologies, neither the progress achieved to date nor the full capability of clean fossil energy technologies is widely understood - yet it must be if they are to have a significant global impact.  The reality that the world will continue to use fossil fuels for decades to come, further underscores the need for these technologies.

These technologies also support an expanding market of opportunities for the use of CO2 and carbon byproducts in the production of cement, fertilizer, fuels and more. Deployment of clean fossil energy technology holds the potential for innovation, rural job creation and revitalization. In addition, Consensus promotes the importance of these technologies as essential to national security, energy resilience, and affordable and reliable energy.
