carbon dioxide annually, or a scale that demon-
strably exceeds the necessary thresholds in key 
geologic transients to validate the ability con-
tinuously to inject quantities on the order of 
several million metric tons of industrial carbon 
dioxide annually for a large number of years. 
‘‘(4) LARGE-SCALE DEMONSTRATION OF CAR-
BON DIOXIDE CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES.— 
‘‘(A) IN
GENERAL.—The Secretary shall 
carry out at least 3 and no more than 5 dem-
onstrations, that include each of the tech-
nologies described in subparagraph (B), for the 
large-scale capture of carbon dioxide from in-
dustrial sources of carbon dioxide, at least 2 of 
which are facilities that generate electric energy 
from fossil fuels. Candidate facilities for other 
demonstrations under this paragraph shall in-
clude facilities that refine petroleum, manufac-
ture iron or steel, manufacture cement or ce-
ment clinker, manufacture commodity chemi-
cals, and ethanol and fertilizer plants. Consider-
ation may be given to capture of carbon dioxide 
from industrial facilities and electric generation 
carbon sources that are near suitable geological

ensure reduced carbon dioxide emissions, the 
Secretary shall take necessary actions to pro-
vide for the integration of the program under 
this paragraph with the long-term carbon diox-
ide sequestration demonstrations described in 
paragraph (3). These actions should not delay 
implementation of the large-scale sequestration 
tests authorized in paragraph (3). 
‘‘(B) TECHNOLOGIES.—The technologies 
referred 
to 
in 
subparagraph 
(A) 
are 
precombustion capture, post-combustion cap-
ture, and oxycombustion. 
‘‘(C) SCOPE OF AWARD.—An award under 
this paragraph shall be only for the portion of 
the project that carries out the large-scale cap-
ture (including purification and compression) of 
carbon dioxide, as well as the cost of transpor-
tation and injection of carbon dioxide.
