Governor Mark Gordon signed into law SF0047 SEA0053, an act relating to geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide.
Carbon storage and sequestration-liability allows the State to assume ownership of and liability for CO2 injected into geologic formations. Senate File 47 addresses investors’ concerns and releases the operator’s liability after a 10-year monitoring period following injection operations for CO2 reservoirs and related infrastructure.
