may delay progress — practical and political obstacles the Democratic-led Legislature must now navigate.
State Sen. Anna Caballero, who authored the carbon capture legislation, said the state’s goal will be to create a safety framework that’s even more robust than what the federal government will develop.

Oil and gas company California Resources Corp. is developing a project there to create hydrogen. It plans to capture carbon from that hydrogen facility and the natural gas plant that powers it. The carbon dioxide would then be stored in an old oil field. That doesn't require special pipeline approval because it's all happening within the company's property.
Lupe Martinez, who lives in California's Kern County, worries what will happen as developers target the region for carbon storage.
