Bill Summary
CONCERNING ENERGY AND CARBON MANAGEMENT REGULATION IN COLORADO, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, BROADENING THE ENERGY AND CARBON MANAGEMENT COMMISSION'S REGULATORY AUTHORITY TO INCLUDE REGULATION OF GEOLOGIC STORAGE OPERATIONS.
AI Summary
This bill broadens the Energy and Carbon Management Commission's regulatory authority to include the permitting and regulation of permanent geologic storage operations. The bill prioritizes these operations as contributing toward the state's greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, providing benefits to the environment by reducing carbon dioxide pollution, supporting a just transition for fossil fuel industry workers, protecting disproportionately impacted communities, and allowing the safe and responsible use of the state's natural resources for carbon dioxide storage. The bill also establishes requirements for geologic storage units, ownership of geologic storage resources, and coordination between the Department of Public Health and Environment and the Commission on geologic storage operations.
