Projects that capture carbon dioxide from industrial sources that are near suitable geological reservoirs and could continue sequestration including—
(i) a field testing validation activity under section 16293 of this title; or
(ii) other geologic sequestration projects approved by the Secretary.
(4) Requirement
For projects that generate carbon dioxide that is to be sequestered, the carbon dioxide stream shall be of a sufficient purity level to allow for safe transport and sequestration.
(5) Cost-sharing
The cost-sharing requirements of section 16352 of this title for research and development projects shall apply to this section.
