Pennsylvania is paving the way for a carbon-conscious future! 🛠️ With the recent passing of the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Act, the Commonwealth has taken a critical step toward positioning the state to compete for carbon capture projects. But what does this mean for landowners, operators, and the environment? Read our latest OG Article by Alexandra M. and Law Clerk Matthew Gibson on the new law and what’s next for CCUS projects in Pennsylvania: https://bit.ly/3B2pZ5i.

🔄 Changes ahead for U.S. energy and environmental policy. The incoming Trump administration signals a significant shift in approach, but what does this mean for infrastructure? ⚡ Key takeaways from latest developments: ➡ Infrastructure projects remain a bipartisan priority, with WRDA funding receiving strong support across party lines ➡ States continue pushing forward with climate initiatives (CA just approved $10B for environmental projects!) ➡ Clean energy manufacturing and development could see mixed impacts, with potential focus on "all-of-the-above" energy approach 🏗️ Despite political changes, infrastructure development stays crucial. Many projects funded through existing legislation are already underway in both red and blue states. What's your take? How do you think these policy shifts will impact our infrastructure projects in 2025 and beyond? 👇 #energy #cleanenergy #infrastructure #environmental #election

Happy to share Nutter's inaugural edition of Energy & Environment Insights, a quick update on energy and environmental issues affecting Massachusetts. In this issue, we cover: - EPA’s expected new stormwater requirements in the Charles River, Mystic River, and Neponset River watersheds - EPA’s new drinking water regulations for PFAS - EPA’s designation of two PFAS as CERCLA hazardous substances - Continued local opposition on battery storage - Offshore wind legal wins and continued rising costs You can read the full update here: https://lnkd.in/gm3HQH38

Novi Strategies is delighted to have partnered with the Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition (SEEC) Institute to produce the SEEC Institute’s inaugural report, Catalyzing Climate Solutions: Assessing the IRA and IIJA's Use of Public Funds to Spur Private Investment. Two years into the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and three years into the IIJA, Novi conducted interviews with key stakeholders to gain and share insight about some of the most significant of the IRA and IIJA’s public-private partnership approaches to driving GHG emission reductions through what is becoming known as the United States' climate industrial policy regime. The interviews and other research conducted on early implementation of the IIJA and IRA yielded several important recommendations for future implementation practices as well as potential statutory action to improve how these programs are implemented and hasten the climate and domestic manufacturing benefits intended.    The provisions considered in the SEEC report include (1) the expansion of the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Loan Program Office (LPO), (2) the creation of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), (3) the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program at EPA; (4) various cost share programs aimed at technology demonstration and deployment, and (5) the transferability and direct pay provisions of the tax code, each of which in their unique ways seeks to blend public financing with private investment, require cost-share private investment to gain generous public grants, or invite public entities into the tax credit market. The actional recommendations and guidance for yielding the statutes' intended outcomes focus on ways that implementing entities are currently empowered to immediately improve implementation practices, ways that Congress might adjust the underlying statutes, and a mixture of both.

#NEW: Yesterday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed a groundbreaking #carboncapture and storage (#CCS) bill into law that will bolster Pennsylvania's efforts to #decarbonize #power and #industrial sectors and ensure safe and permanent storage of #carbondioxide. The bill enhances landowner rights and empowers the Department of Environmental Protection to require additional analysis for permitting decisions that may affect #environmentaljustice communities. Additionally, it mandates seismic activity monitoring to ensure the safe and permanent geologic storage and sets a default 50-year period for monitoring and accountability. Scaling up #CCS in Pennsylvania will also create substantial, well-paying jobs in the #construction industry and provide sustainable employment. Learn more from the Clean Air Task Force:   

The Environmental Systems roundtable provides a forum to discuss key environmental issues relevant to the combustion turbine industry. The first half of the roundtable at the spring conference will continue the Monday General Session discussion on Section 111. Panel members Craig Jones, Ph.D. with Oglethorpe Power Corporation, Chris Weber with Trinity Consultants, and Kimberly Williams with NV Energy will navigate the discussion on how we plan to prepare for Section 111. This roundtable is open to registered Users and Super Champions. For more conference information and to register for the conference, visit https://bit.ly/492Eh0Q.

Progress in the carbon-capture industry can be slow, given the extended permitting process, uncertain long-term outlook and skepticism about its effectiveness in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The past several weeks have been a better-than-usual period for advocates of carbon capture and sequestration, with significant milestones reached for a trio of important projects, but not all the news was positive. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll look at what’s happening with a few key CCS projects. https://lnkd.in/gT2_TYXT
