 Engineered Carbon Capture, Use, and Storage (CCUS) projects are being proposed in some of the most heavily impacted environmental justice communities in California, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley, already one of the nation’s most polluted and unequal places. As the state considers options for meeting its climate goals in the 2022 Scoping Plan, direct reductions that equitably improve public health must be at the forefront. Join a panel discussion on the impacts and risks related to engineered CCUS, with a focus on currently proposed projects in Stockton (San Joaquin County), Mendota (Fresno County), Kern County, and at California’s refineries.
