Regulation aims to reduce facilities’ emissions of climate-altering gases — a goal that could require carbon burial. The administration of US President Joe Biden has proposed a landmark regulation that aims to curb emissions from the power sector in the United States over the next two decades. If it survives the legal challenges that are […]
