Pennsylvania Landowners Could Be Forced to Accept Carbon Dioxide Burial on Their Land

In Pennsylvania, landowners may soon be compelled to allow carbon dioxide (CO2) burial on their properties as the state advances carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives. The proposed legislation would enable energy companies to sequester CO2 underground without explicit landowner consent, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While advocates argue this is essential for climate mitigation, critics raise concerns about property rights, potential environmental risks, and long-term liability. The debate underscores the tension between advancing environmental goals and protecting individual landowner rights, with significant implications for local communities and the broader fight against climate change.
