Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide: The State of Responsible Primacy

Explore the complexities of geologic carbon dioxide sequestration and the regulatory landscape surrounding it in this informative webinar. Delve into the Underground Injection Control program administered by the EPA, examining the debate over state versus federal authority in carbon storage well regulation. Learn about the process of permitting carbon storage wells, the federal government's encouragement of state primacy, and case studies from North Dakota, Wyoming, and Louisiana. Gain insights from experts Jake Ferrell and Dr. Simone H. Stewart on responsible primacy implementation, with a focus on environmental justice and community engagement. Discover key topics including carbon management necessity, geologic storage mechanics, public engagement strategies, industry's role, project collocation, and the distinctions between terrestrial and seabed sequestration. Understand the importance of state-EPA interactions and the specifics of Class 6 wells in this comprehensive overview of carbon dioxide geologic sequestration regulation.
