Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to capital investment; appropriating money for improvements at the Olmsted County waste-to-energy facility; authorizing the sale and issuance of state bonds.
AI Summary
This bill provides $1,000,000 in state bond funding to Olmsted County for two primary purposes related to its waste-to-energy facility: first, to conduct predesign, engineering, and environmental analysis for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) system that will be integrated with the facility's solid waste processing operations, and second, to predesign and design a business incubator that will create a technical training platform focused on carbon sequestration technologies. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $1,000,000 to fund these activities, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. Carbon capture and storage is an emerging technology designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing carbon dioxide from industrial processes and storing it underground or using it in other industrial applications, which in this case would be associated with the waste-to-energy facility's operations. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, allowing Olmsted County to proceed with planning and initial development of these innovative environmental and technical training projects.
