AI Summary
This bill creates the Biochar in Oil and Gas Well Plugging Working Advisory Group to make recommendations for the development of a pilot program to study the use of biochar in plugging oil and gas wells. The group will coordinate with Colorado State University to review research, conduct laboratory testing, and develop recommendations for the pilot program, which would include standards for using biochar, monitoring emissions, and assessing the long-term durability of biochar in well plugging. The bill also appropriates funds from the Oil and Gas Conservation and Environmental Response Fund to the Department of Higher Education and the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to implement the study.
