10 10 Comprehensive Policy Integration Needs Solutions Achieve GHG targets Minimize costs Maximize savings Federal Caps and Price Signals Maximize co-benefits Maximize consensus Address governance Maximize implementation National Policies & Measures State & Local Measures

11 11 Implementation Barriers Investment (Outlays) Authority (Legal and Administrative) Markets (Split Incentives) Capacity (Program and Market) Awareness and Acceptance (Consumers, Producers)

12 12 Progress Through Action! Emissions baselines Recent and planned actions New policy actions and goals

13 13 Collaboration

14 14 CCS Ten Step Planning Process 1. Identify full range of existing policy actions and choices 2. Conduct gap analysis, innovate and expand range of choices 3. Narrow list for further analysis and development 4. Formulate draft policy specifications and tools 5. Formulate draft analytical approaches for analysis (best data, assumptions, methods) 6. Conduct preliminary analysis of options, iterate to final 7. Conduct analysis of cobenefits, feasibility as needed 8. Conduct aggregate impact analysis of full set of policies 9. Iterate to final agreement on policy recommendations and overall goals 10. Issue final report and recommendations
