On December 19, Senator Orrin Hatch, Senate Finance Committee Chairman, included 45Q extension and reform in Tax Extender Act of 2017 (OTT17901) which he filed on December 19. Proposed 45Q expansion would make large-scale capture and pipeline infrastructure economically attractive.

The Section 45Q carbon sequestration tax credits, as introduced in the Future Act S. 1535, was included in the Bipartisan Budget Act that was enacted into law on February 9, 2018. More...

The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) and The University of Kansas together with a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Coordination Team propose to undertake Phase I: Integrated CCS Pre-Feasibility Study in response to DOE-NETL FOA 1584 titled, Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise. The goal of Phase I activity under CarbonSAFE is to identify and critically evaluate challenges and opportunities for commercial-scale Carbon Capture and Storage in Kansas, ICKan (Integrated CCS for Kansas). The PI and Project Director is Tandis S. Bidgoli of the KGS. Martin K. Dubois with Improved Hydrocarbon Recovery is a Joint-PI and Project Manager of ICKan. Bidgoli and Dubois will co-lead a CCS Coordinating Team that will conduct an integrated and multi-disciplinary assessment of CCS in Kansas during Phase I. The objectives include identifying, evaluating, and addressing the major technical and non-technical challenges of implementing commercial-scale, CO2 capture, transport, and secure geologic storage in Kansas.
