((a)) ** Program establishment**

((1)) ** In general** The Secretary shall carry out a program to demonstrate technologies for the large-scale capture of carbon dioxide from industrial sources. In making awards under this program, the Secretary shall select, as appropriate, a diversity of capture technologies to address the need to capture carbon dioxide from a range of industrial sources.

((2)) ** Scope of award** Awards under this section shall be only for the portion of the project that—

((A)) carries out the large-scale capture (including purification and compression) of carbon dioxide from industrial sources;

((B)) provides for the transportation and injection of carbon dioxide; and

((C)) incorporates a comprehensive measurement, monitoring, and validation program.

((3)) ** Preferences for award** To ensure reduced carbon dioxide emissions, the Secretary shall take necessary actions to provide for the integration of the program under this paragraph with the large-scale carbon dioxide sequestration tests described in . These actions should not delay implementation of these tests. The Secretary shall give priority consideration to projects with the following characteristics:

((A)) ** Capacity** Projects that will capture a high percentage of the carbon dioxide in the treated stream and large volumes of carbon dioxide as determined by the Secretary.

((B)) ** Sequestration** 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 ; 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 for research and development projects shall apply to this section.section 16352 of this title

((b)) ** Authorization of appropriations** There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out this section $200,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2009 through 2013.
