Good news for landowners looking to make extra income: your land is already storing carbon and you can sell those carbon credits for cash!

A carbon credit is a tradable commodity, like a stock, that represents one ton of carbon dioxide that has either been removed from the atmosphere or has been avoided being released into the atmosphere.

Property owners are asking questions about storing CO2 underground in pore space. They are confused and they have the right to be. Here are answers.

The amount of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) released globally increased 6% in 2021 to 36.3 billion tons, as reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA)*. For power plants that will continue to use coal and natural gas, carbon capture and storage will help to mitigate CO2 emissions.
