(a) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) âCarbon dioxide capture projectâ means a project that uses a process to separate carbon dioxide from industrial, commercial, or energy-related sources, other than oil or gas production from a well, and produces a concentrated fluid of carbon dioxide with the intent of preventing emission of the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (2) âCarbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration projectâ means a carbon dioxide capture project or carbon dioxide removal project, that seeks to provide for the long-term isolation or utilization of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through storage in a geologic formation. (3) âCarbon dioxide removal projectâ means a project that uses a process to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. (4) âConcentrated carbon dioxide fluidâ means a fluid that contains concentrated carbon dioxide that is proportionately greater than the ambient atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. (b) An operator shall not inject a concentrated carbon dioxide fluid produced by a carbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration project into a Class II well for purposes of enhanced oil recovery, including the facilitation of enhanced oil recovery from another well.
