((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.
