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.

• Clean Smokestacks Act, Interim and final CO2 Reports
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions Reduction Strategies for North Carolina: Final Report, September 1, 2005
• CO2 Clean Smokestacks Act Second Interim Report (September 2004)
• CO2 Emission Reduction Options for Coal-fired Electrical Utility Boilers and Other Stationary Sources: First Interim Report, September 1, 2003
