Carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery stimulus.
Wyoming's SF 78 creates a $10 per ton financial incentive for carbon dioxide providers who use carbon capture technology to supply CO2 for enhanced oil recovery projects within the state. To qualify, providers must capture CO2 using specific technology, sell it for in-state oil recovery, and already receive the federal tax credit under 26 U.S.C. 45Q. The state would fund this through a dedicated "enhanced oil recovery stimulus account," with payments made after state auditors verify eligibility. This bill directly affects carbon dioxide providers meeting these criteria, not general consumers or other industries.
