Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Webinar
With support from federal incentives and increasing pressure to lower carbon intensity, CCUS is gaining momentum as a potential tool to facilitate industrial decarbonization. And with Louisiana receiving Class VI primacy from the EPA in December 2023—giving the state authority to permit and regulate carbon storage wells—we’re entering a new era of opportunity and responsibility.
