CCS Gone Wrong. A Congressional Briefing
Recently discovered leaks at CO2 monitoring wells in Illinois as well as numerous leaks at Texas injection wells raise serious concerns about the ability to safely store CO2 in underground storage wells.

On October 22, 2024, Food and Water Watch brought together together policy and technical experts, and community leaders to educate Members of Congress and their staff about the cause of the leaks, safety, health concerns, environmental justice concerns, and broad policy implications for continuing the U.S. EPA's Class VI and Class II well permit programs without significant reform.
