Visual Primer: States Advance Regulatory Frameworks for Carbon Capture as Federal Strategy Takes Shape
As carbon management grows as a critical tool for climate action, federal strategies and state legislation are evolving to promote efficient and responsible development of carbon capture projects and carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines. However, ongoing opposition and legal challenges, particularly concerning the use of eminent domain, reflect the complexities the industry must navigate to fully emerge. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) involves the capture of CO2 from the emissions of industrial processes before they are released into the atmosphere for storage in subsurface geological formations.
