Texas is entering a pivotal moment for carbon management. Growing power demand and the first wave of carbon capture and storage projects are converging in a state with world-class geology, deep energy expertise, and newly secured Class VI primacy for carbon storage permitting.

To help Texas navigate this moment with clarity and coordination, GPI has released the Texas Carbon Management Roadmap, developed with support from the Cynthia & George Mitchell Foundation and shaped by the input of nearly 100 Texas-based stakeholders from industry, government, labor, academia, nonprofits, and community organizations.

State Leadership in Action: Colorado’s New Law Supports Long-Term CO₂ Stewardship

August 15, 2025 in Carbon Management Author: Kelley Reierson

Tackling emissions from sectors that are hard to decarbonize—like heavy industry and manufacturing—is one of the biggest challenges to accelerating decarbonization. That’s why it’s a core part of GPI’s strategy. Central to this work is collaborating with partners across the country to ensure the right tools and technologies, including carbon management solutions, can be deployed responsibly, equitably, and at scale.

PHMSA Releases Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Enhance Safety of Carbon Dioxide Pipelines

January 22, 2025 in Carbon Management Authors: Kelley Reierson, Ryan Kammer

As of January 23, 2025, the unofficial pre-publication rules are no longer available to view online and have not been published in the Federal Register. As the rules were not finalized prior to the administration change, it is yet to be determined whether they will be published as-is or revised.

The US Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to enhance safety standards for carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines. Given the important and complementary role that carbon management technologies will play in meeting net-zero emissions targets and the expected expansion of CO2 pipeline infrastructure, this notice is a welcome development for safe and responsible deployment.

Examining the Safety Record of Carbon Dioxide Pipelines

August 14, 2024 in Carbon Management Author: Kelley Reierson

The United States must rapidly decarbonize its industrial and energy production sectors to meet its midcentury climate goals. The International Energy Agency and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have assessed that carbon management technologies, including direct air capture (DAC) and carbon capture and storage (CCS), will play an important role in meeting this objective alongside other necessary decarbonization technologies.
