CO₂ pipelines face US woes
Developers are struggling with public perception and local engagement
With growing demand and government incentives to develop more carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity, some of the biggest US pipeline projects now on the drawing board are designed to transport carbon dioxide from source to storage. But the road to the energy transition is proving to be a bumpy one, as some proposed pipelines that could help address climate change by reducing carbon emissions face similar opposition to those that transport oil and natural gas.
