Underground carbon storage will not be among topics addressed this year by any of several interim study committees of the Indiana General Assembly.
Gov. Eric Holcomb this month signed Senate Enrolled Act 442, authored by Sen. Jon Ford, R-Terre Haute, allowing a pilot project to proceed in Vigo County but also urging the Legislative Council to have an appropriate committee review the practice.
But it was not among some 40 topics selected last week by the 16-member council chaired by Senate President Rod Bray, R-Martinsville. More than 150 topics were submitted for consideration.
The pilot project at the site of a former coal gasification plant off Indiana 63 north of Terre Haute will be the largest of its kind in the country, according to the planned operator, Wabash Valley Resources. It will store up to 1.75 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, up to a total of 50 million tons.
