Title: ●Carbon Dioxide Injection and Geologic Sequestration Reporting Rule
Abstract: EPA has finalized a rule that would require mandatory reporting of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from large emissions sources in the United States, as required by the FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act. This is a reporting rule to collect accurate and comprehensive emissions data to inform future policy decisions. During notice-and-comment for the proposal, EPA received comments that the Agency should include downstream end-users of carbon dioxide (CO2)--in particular, CO2 used for enhanced oil recovery and/or CO2 geologically sequestered. EPA did not include those end-users in the final mandatory reporting rule. Instead, the Agency is initiating this separate rulemaking to specifically address geologic sequestration (GS). The rule would outline new requirements for GHG reporting for CO2 injection, including GS sites. In addition to tracking CO2 emissions across CO2 capture and injection, this rule would allow EPA to collect data on efficacy of GS sites for long-term storage of CO2.
