ENERGY/PIPELINES: Prohibits the transport of carbon dioxide in rights-of-way used for petroleum transportation

This bill prohibits the placement of carbon dioxide sequestration pipelines in the same right-of-way as existing petroleum pipelines in Louisiana. The law directly affects pipeline operators and energy companies by requiring them to use separate corridors for transporting carbon dioxide for storage purposes. This restriction aims to keep carbon dioxide transport infrastructure distinct from petroleum infrastructure, though it does not prevent the use of existing pipelines for other purposes. The measure applies statewide and would require new planning and coordination for carbon capture and storage projects.
