Carbon Capture
A company plans to inject millions of tons of carbon dioxide beneath the restored Montezuma Wetlands in Solano County, California, aiming to create the state's first large-scale carbon capture site. The proposal has divided supporters, who see it as essential for climate goals, from opponents worried about risks to a low-income community already burdened by industry. Approval for a test well could come within 12 to 18 months.
