Capito, Manchin Announce Progress Empowering West Virginia to Permit Carbon Storage Projects

Press Release

“After too long of a delay, it is welcome news that EPA has taken this step towards granting West Virginia the authority we need to properly implement carbon capture technology. I have frequently said that the states are better suited than Washington to carry out this authority and get these projects up and running. Carbon capture, use, and storage is essential to protecting our ability to provide reliable, baseload power in West Virginia through coal and natural gas, while reducing our power and manufacturing sector emissions. I look forward to the swift finalization of this authority and its enactment in our state."
