    A closer look at CCS regulation and storage safety

    Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a highly regulated process overseen by the EPA in Louisiana, requiring Class VI permits and extensive geological research to ensure CO₂ remains safely stored underground. Safety measures include deep underground storage in porous rock formations sealed by cap rock, along with continuous monitoring and emergency planning.
