Michigan SB0826 amends air pollution laws to regulate carbon dioxide capture projects.

Michigan SB0826 amends the state's air pollution laws to regulate carbon dioxide capture projects. It mandates that such projects require a permit from the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The bill sets a minimum carbon dioxide capture rate of 90% for these projects, with exceptions for certain industries. It also prohibits using carbon dioxide from these projects for enhanced oil or gas recovery. The legislation includes provisions for public comment and hearings on permit applications. The bill ties its enactment to the passage of several other related bills.
