WGA delivers bipartisan policy recommendations for the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage

In correspondence with the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, WGA submitted bipartisan policy recommendations in light of the Committee’s February 12 hearing, Advancing Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration Technologies and Ensuring Effective Implementation of the USE IT Act.  The February 12, 2025, letter, signed by WGA Executive Director Jack Waldorf, reads, “Western states are leaders in the development and deployment of a range of decarbonization technologies and strategies, including carbon capture, utilization, and storage.  The permitting process to transport and geologically store carbon dioxide represents a significant hurdle for industry, and Western Governors believe that regulatory certainty and enhanced coordination are critical to addressing these barriers.” Read the full correspondence for further details
