CCUS Demystified: The CO2 Commute
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) has been in use for decades, but today the industry is seeing rapid growth with nearly 600 projects in various stages of operation and development globally. With this growth, USEA is undertaking a four-part educational series on the basics of CCUS. Part Two of our series explores the infrastructure that makes CCUS possible: CO2 pipelines and transportation systems across the United States. This session will explain what makes a CO2 pipeline unique, how it’s designed for safety, and why simple “pipeline conversions” aren’t always feasible.
We’ll look at how regulations and safety protocols are helping communities prepare as more projects come online. The discussion will also touch on eminent domain, the use of existing rights-of-way, and how developers are navigating regional concerns, particularly in the Midwest. Whether you’re a policymaker, project developer, or interested observer, this webinar will offer a practical look at how CO2 moves from capture to storage, and what it takes to build the backbone of America’s carbon transportation system.
