Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies involve the capture of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO₂ via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage underground.
This is model federal legislation to establish a comprehensive system for the safe and effective transport and geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide.
The Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Sequestration Act regulates the construction of pipelines to transport carbon dioxide to sequestration and enhanced oil recovery, as “critical to the promotion and use of Illinois coal.”
“Utility Generation and Clean Coal Technology” subsection of Utilities and Transportation Code that provides financial incentives for utilities building ‘new energy’ generators, including CCS coal plants.
Grants a certified CO2 pipeline company authority to condemn a right-of-way for construction of pipelines to transport CO2 to enhanced oil recovery (EOR), deep saline injection, or sequestration, inside or outside of Indiana.
Section of law that creates an “economic priority” to attract CCS projects “that will create jobs ... and favorably position the Commonwealth for future leadership and growth in the field,” including provisions relating to pore space ownership.
The 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 and regulating the use of carbon dioxide in EOR.
