Mobilize federal support for carbon dioxide pipelines, group urges

摘要

A multistate working group convened by two. western governors urged the Trump administration and the 115th Congress to make carbon dioxide pipelines a priority within a more-ambitious US infrastructure agenda. The State CO2-EOR Deployment Work Group also released a report recommending that the federal government support development of CO2 pipeline networks to securely transport large volumes of the gas to US oil fields for enhanced recovery operations. Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead (R) and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) formed the working group in September 2015 as a follow-up to a Western Governors Association resolution calling for federal incentives to accelerate carbon capture deployment at power plants and industrial facilities, and increase the use of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery while safely storing the gas underground.
