EPA issues final carbon capture rule

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The federal EPA issued its final rule for carbon capture and sequestration Thursday.

“Carbon capture and sequestration technology can help us reduce carbon pollution and move us toward a cleaner, more stable environment,” Mathy Stanislaus, EPA assistant administrator for Solid Waste and Emergency Response, said in a prepared statement. “Today’s rule provides regulatory clarity to help facilitate the implementation of this technology in a safe and responsible way.”

The EPA said the rule clarifies how carbon dioxide captured from coal-fired power plants and large industrial operations is to be stored.
