Carbon sequestration.

Chamber Passed·1/29/26

Indiana SB0007 regulates carbon sequestration projects, requiring permits and local approvals.

Indiana SB0007 amends existing laws to regulate carbon sequestration projects, which involve the underground storage of carbon dioxide. The bill defines key terms such as "carbon sequestration," "storage operator," and "UIC Class VI permit." It mandates that storage operators obtain both a UIC Class VI permit and a permit from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The bill also requires that carbon sequestration projects be approved by the appropriate local legislative body or plan commission.
