To reduce the environmental footprint of its coal-fired electric power plants, the Vattenfall power company devised a carbon capture and storage (CCS) program that involves compression and underground stockage of material. Opponents to the program fear not only the risks involved, including soil salinization and potential leakage, but also the power companies’ increasing market predominance over alternative energy sources. In her analysis of this long-standing controversy, Johanna Ickert also examines the changes in the electric power industry.
