ENERGY/PIPELINES: Requires tracking of carbon dioxide transported by pipeline (OR SEE FISC NOTE SD RV)

HB 820 requires companies transporting carbon dioxide (CO₂) via pipeline to track the gas from its source through injection sites using a standardized manifest system. This affects pipeline operators and facilities receiving CO₂, mandating they record details like the generator location, transporter, destination, and volume of CO₂ moved. The manifests must be kept for 10 years and shared with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality upon request, with penalties for failure to maintain them or for mismatched end-use purposes. The bill aims to improve oversight of CO₂ pipeline operations without altering emissions standards or creating new environmental requirements.
