Summit Power Group's Texas Clean Energy Project (TCEP) at Penwell is a 377 MWe IGCC power plant burning coal with CCS, capturing 90% of CO 2 and 90% of NO x. It has $450 million funding from the DOE Clean Coal Power Initiative towards its $2.4 billion cost. It was due to operate from 2015, but construction start is not yet in sight.

Geothermal contributes significantly in the carbon-tax, coal-share, and renewable-target scenarios.
Energy price impacts. A carbon tax increases energy costs in proportion to the carbon content of the source of energy. On account of the different carbon-intensity of fuels, price impacts are most significant for energy produced with coal, then petroleum, then natural gas. Higher carbon tax rates cause larger changes in energy prices.
