CCUS: A State Comparison of Technical and Policy Issues

October 26, 2021

The United States Energy Association (USEA) is releasing the Cadmus/USEA study “Carbon Capture, Utilization, & Sequestration: A State Comparison of Technical and Policy Issues.” This study evaluates laws, policies, and regulations governing CO₂ storage operations and geologic storage across ten states including Alabama, California, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Utah. In addition to providing oversight of the storage capacity and pipeline infrastructure of these states, this project provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of four dimensions of CO₂ law, regulation, and policy: land use, mineral, water, and pore space rights; geologic CO₂ storage and incremental storage regulation; eminent domain; and regulation of CO₂-EOR, oil and gas activities, and CO₂ pipelines.

Cadmus’ Shari Ring, one of the study authors, will be presenting the findings at a USEA-hosted webinar on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, from 2:30-3:30 ET. Click here to learn more and register for the event on the USEA website: https://usea.org/event/ccus-state-comparison-technical-and-policy-issues
