A Thursday presentation by BP on a proposed Indiana carbon dioxide capture and sequestration project in Indiana elicited a skeptical response from those in attendance.
During the event, held at the Hammond Sportsplex & Community Center, BP staff explained a plan that they said could keep millions of tons of carbon out of the atmosphere over the next two decades. The Lake County event was the latest in a series of presentations given in Indiana counties that would be affected by the project.BP plans to capture carbon dioxide emitted by industrial sites before piping it in a liquid state to injection sites for underground storage.
To get the project off the ground, BP needs the approval of federal, state, and county officials as well as the landowners under whose properties the carbon dioxide will be stored. The company said it has plans for cash payments to counties affected by the project, to be delivered both at the project’s outset and at certain project milestones, as well as to landowners, though no specific dollar amounts were included the company’s presentation.
BP staff acknowledged the Satartia explosion in their presentation. Pipeline expert Tim Smith said that the company has reviewed theon the incident, which underscored, among other takeaways, “the importance of engagement with local first responders.” “That infrastructure is going to rupture,” she said “It’s only a matter of how and when. We have what feels like a jelly donut or a ticking time bomb right under our communities.”
