SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA) released the following statement following Senate passage of SB 1723, which would limit carbon capture and sequestration:
“Carbon capture and sequestration is a safe and proven technology that is critical to decarbonizing our environment while maintaining economic growth and prosperity. Though we appreciate the willingness of the Senate sponsor to have conversations about this bill, we remain opposed to the legislation as drafted,” said Mark Denzler, President and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. “It was just last year that the General Assembly passed historic legislation to establish the nation’s most stringent carbon capture and sequestration regulations.”
