The Clean Smokestacks Act, passed in June 2002, required DAQ to study potential control of CO2 emissions from coal-fired utility plants and other stationary sources. The required reports and other information related to CO2 emissions are listed below. This effort has also prompted actions to develop a climate action plan (CAP) for North Carolina.
