Summary/Abstract
“Mississippi Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Act” authorizes the State Oil and Gas Board to regulate carbon storage in the state, including by approving carbon storage facilities, regulating the use of carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), maintaining compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act, and establishing bond or deposit requirements for operators. The legislative findings state, “Geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide is an emerging industry that has the potential to provide jobs, investment, and other economic opportunities for the people of Mississippi, and is a valuable incentive for Mississippi to attract new industry.”
