OH Bill Passes House to Create Carbon Capture/Pore Space Law

Ohio House Bill (HB) 170, which authorizes Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) by injecting captured CO2 into subsurface "pore space," passed the Ohio House and has advanced to the Ohio Senate. The bill establishes a state regulatory framework, delegating to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) the authority to govern Class VI injection wells. This bill, if it becomes law (as seems likely), has significant implications for both drillers and landowners.
