EPA Proposes Rule for Mandatory Reporting of Carbon Dioxide Injection and Geologic Sequestration

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a new rule that would require the monitoring and reporting of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection and geologic sequestration (GS) activities, but does not mandate control of greenhouse gases (GHGs). This proposal builds on the EPA's previous efforts to regulate CO2 emissions, which began in 2009 with a proposal to require suppliers of CO2 to report on their GHG emissions.
