Relating to liability for capturing and storing carbon dioxide.

HB 2790 establishes limited liability for entities involved in carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in Texas. It protects owners and operators of carbon dioxide storage facilities, transport systems (like pipelines), and carbon dioxide producers from certain lawsuits brought by landowners who have signed written agreements about the use of their land for CCS activities. The bill defines "captured carbon dioxide" to include carbon from industrial sources, the atmosphere, and other specified sources, and "geologic storage" as underground storage in reservoirs. This liability protection applies only to cases with prior written agreements between landowners and defendants, aiming to reduce legal risks for CCS project development.
