In early October, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed HR 1209, a bill providing regulatory structure for CCUS, into law. The bill addresses many of the issues of concern relative to CO2 storage development, including primacy, pore space ownership, unitization, permit applications, drilling near storage facilities, CO2 ownership, limitation and transfer of liability, and transportation. The …
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) requires a long-term plan for safe storage of captured carbon dioxide, from injection to closure and environmental monitoring. The right site operations partner can help companies maximize tax credits while minimizing risks and costs for operation, management, and monitoring. Check out Battelle’s recent white paper, “Seven Things to Look for …
