A group of 25 Republican state attorneys general is suing to stop new carbon capture regulations the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking to impose on fossil-fuel-fired power plants.
The EPA announced the publication of a final rule on April 25 for new natural gas turbines and existing coal-fired power plants to implement hydrogen co-firing and carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS) to lower their output of carbon emissions. The move won praise for President Joe Biden’s administration from environmental groups but prompted alarm from fossil fuel industry allies.
