Carbon capture technology draws the attention of lawmakers, environmental advocates twill
Carbon capture is a method whereby carbon dioxide, a common greenhouse gas, is placed in long-term storage, usually by injection into wells in geologic formations thousands of feet underground. These wells take advantage of empty"pore space" in subsurface structures. It is sometimes referred to as carbon capture, utilization and sequestration.
Williams is the chair of the Illinois House Energy & Environment Committee. She helped lead a four-way joint hearing with House and Senate committees on Monday to discuss the subject of carbon capture technology. The Illinois Basin, an underground structure covering roughly 70% of the state, has drawn interest from those working on carbon capture technology for decades, according to the report. The basin is also home to the country's first commercial-scale carbon sequestration project -- a 6,800-foot-deep storage well on the grounds of the Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. in Decatur.
House Bill 3119 would ensure that a company engaging in carbon transport or injection is solely liable for any damages caused by carbon dioxide transportation. It would also establish that the owner of surface land also owns the title to the"pore space" underneath it. This is the underground area into which carbon dioxide can be injected.
Another set of bills, House Bill 2202 and Senate Bill 2153, have support from industry groups like ADM, Navigator CO2 and the Illinois Manufacturers Association. They're being sponsored by Rep. Jay Hoffman, a Swansea Democrat, and Sen. Bill Cunningham, a Chicago Democrat. These bills don't regulate the transport of carbon dioxide, such as through a pipeline like the Heartland Greenway project.
The rule-making came in response to an investigation into a 2020 incident where a CO2 pipeline near Satartia, Mississippi, burst, hospitalizing dozens and displacing hundreds more.
