Biden releases plan to avoid ‘dangerous’ CO2 pipeline failures
By Mike Soraghan & Carlos Anchondo (May 27, 2022) – The rupture shows the need to close gaps in the safety rules for carbon dioxide pipelines, said Bill Caram, executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, the main pipeline safety advocacy group. He called PHMSA’s plan for new rules “encouraging.”
“CO2 releases can be incredibly hazardous to our communities,” Caram said. “The list of proposed new CO2 pipeline projects seems to grow every week, which makes it all the more important to modernize our safety regulations immediately.”
