The second meeting of the California Carbon Capture and Storage
Review Panel will take place on Wednesday, June 2, 2010. 
The California Energy Commission, the California Public
Utilities Commission, and the California Air Resources Board have
formed this panel to review carbon capture and storage (CCS)
policy and develop recommendations that could help guide
legislation and regulations regarding CCS in California.  CCS has
been identified as a potential strategy for reducing greenhouse
gas emissions from major industrial sites.	

Other state agencies interested and involved in the issue are
the California Department of Conservation and the California
State Water Resources Control Board.

Purpose 
The goal of the California CCS Review Panel is to: 

1.	Identify, discuss, and frame specific policies addressing the
role of CCS in meeting the state's energy needs and greenhouse
gas reduction goals;

2.	Review CCS policy frameworks used elsewhere, and identify
gaps, alternatives, and applicability in California; and

3.	Develop specific committee recommendations on CCS.

The second meeting of the panel will focus on expert testimony,
stakeholder testimony and open comments from interested members
of the public.  Presentations will be made to the panel by
experts in the areas of property rights law and enhanced oil
recovery using carbon dioxide to stimulate production.  Some of
the stakeholders that will present information to the panel
include electric power generating utilities, and environmental
and environmental justice non-governmental organizations.  In
addition, a period of time will be set aside for open public
comment.  The information gathered from the public meetings of
the panel will be the basis upon which a final report will be
developed by the panel that identifies the major regulatory and
legal barriers to CCS in the state, and gives specific
recommendations regarding methods to address them and the policy
rationales for the recommendations.
