Presentation Abstract:
To qualify for IRS 45Q tax credits for geologic carbon sequestration, operators must submit a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) Plan to the USEPA, as specified in Subpart RR of the USEPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. MRV Plans include many of the same components as UIC injection well permit applications; however, there are a number of key differences that are important for developing an MRV Plan that will ensure regulatory approval and compliance and support incentive qualification. This presentation will provide insight on how to best navigate regulatory and incentive requirements for MRV Plans to ensure carbon sequestration project approval and compliance, and support incentive qualification.
Proper application of MRV Plan regulations and guidance, along with appropriate utilization of UIC Class VI and Class II injection permit applications, will expediate the development of robust, practical, and cost-effective MRV Plans that streamline the permitting process, achieve maximum flexibility for future operations, and ensure qualification for financial incentives.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Business Development Leaders, Directors, and Project Managers with companies interested in qualifying for IRS 45Q tax credits via EOR-CO2 operations at UIC Class II wells or geologic sequestration at UIC Class VI wells.
