Summary/Abstract

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), a decades-old concept, has recently garnered significant support and investment as a leading method for decarbonizing the atmosphere. However, regulation of CCS technology lags behind its rapid development. In most cases, primary regulatory control belongs to the Environmental Protection Agency, though state regulations also play a role. However, an increasing number of states seek control over their own CCS programs through a process known as primacy. This Comment by Muriel Hague in the Houston Law Review provides an overview of CCS regulation within states that already have or are currently seeking primacy over CCS from the Environmental Protection Agency, with a focus on Texas.
