In the absence of US legislative action on climate policy, there has been a shift in US policy emphasis from carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to CCUS with the 'U' for 'utilization' for EOR. Although there are many uses for carbon dioxide, the primary utilization opportunity in the United States is enhanced oil recovery. Currently, CO2-EOR offers the only significant price signal for carbon, and it provides the nation's most viable commercial CCUS pathway, increasing domestic oil production and helping to revitalize the US economy. The report states that the extent to which CO2-EOR will be leveraged for wide-scale CCUS deployment depends largely on how the CO2-EOR market develops and on what type of policy actions are taken to incentivize CO2 capture
