Carbon Capture and Storage Projects: The Threat to Property Rights

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the latest methods climate activists are using to combat greenhouse gases and achieve “net-zero” carbon dioxide emissions. Government-funded CCS companies manage projects that capture CO2 emissions at their source and condense carbon dioxide into a liquid-like “supercritical” state. The liquified CO2 is then transported through pipelines or other means to storage sites, where it is pumped deep underground in to geologic formations. The process creates an array of problems, with one of the largest being the abrogation of private property rights—one of the most fundamental pillars the United States was founded upon.
