SACRAMENTO, California \u2014 As California\u2019s first carbon capture and storage rules are released, they are fast becoming a test of the state\u2019s ambitions for building an industry that climate regulators increasingly see as necessary, but environmental groups warn could prolong fossil fuel production and pollution.<\/p>\n
What happened: The California Air Resources Board last month began sharing a draft set of rules to regulate technologies that can capture and store carbon dioxide emitted from industrial facilities or directly from the air.<\/p>\n
The rules are required under SB 905, a 2022 law that directed CARB to regulate carbon capture, removal, utilization and storage projects, including how they are permitted, monitored and held financially responsible.<\/p>\n
In comments submitted in response to the proposed rules, carbon-removal companies, water agencies, fuel interests and carbon project registries urged CARB to expand the rulebook beyond conventional geologic storage in underground rock formations to include a host of emerging technologies, including biochar, bio-oil, marine carbon removal, enhanced weathering and water-sector carbon removal. The oil industry also wants CARB to avoid duplicative reporting requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SACRAMENTO, California \u2014 As California\u2019s first carbon capture and storage rules are released, they are fast becoming a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-357704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
