I feel I have essentially answered this question previously. This bill does not require anyone to pursue a CCS project as a feature of their emissions reduction obligations. It simply seeks to create the regulatory framework if an entity sought to use this technology to reduce the emissions from their operations and that their technology solution involved a transborder movement of carbon dioxide. It simply sets out the regulatory tests that would be necessary to permit such a technology solution to be put in place.
