Gina Buchman Co-Authors Environmental Alert
On July 17, 2024, Governor Josh Shapiro signed the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Act into law, effective immediately.

In this Alert, Attorney Gina Falaschi Buchman along with Kevin Garber and Sean McGovern discuss the Act’s authorization of underground injection and sequestration of CO2, and its three key aspects – pore space ownership, permitting and operating an injection and storage facility, and liability and long-term responsibility for sequestered CO2.
