    Carbon Capture & Storage for California?

    Pic of CCS plant in MississippiNina Robertson, Ileana Navarro, Thom Hersbach On today’s show, carbon capture and storage for California?  That is the question.  I’ll speak to Ileana Navarro policy associate with the Central California Environmental Justice Network, Stanford University Woods Institute for the Environment policy fellow and scientist Thom Hersbach and Nina Robertson, deputy managing attorney for Earthjustice to get some answers. Response from California Air Resource Board (CARB)’s Lindsay Buckley: “California’s ambitious climate goals require both significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and growth of carbon sequestration. To help meet this charge, CARB staff initiated work on the Senate Bill 905 rulemaking last year which requires the agency to create the Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Program to evaluate, demonstrate, and regulate CCUS and carbon dioxide. The proposed regulations are expected to be considered by the Board before the end of the year as part of a transparent public engagement process. CARB remains committed to carrying out the objectives of the law which includes balancing environmental, public health and economic considerations as the state moves towards carbon neutrality.” Agency Meeting Info in Sacramento:  ww2.arb.ca.gov Further Reading about CCS: Policy Brief by T.
