MI HB5664

Establishes permit requirements for carbon dioxide capture projects in Michigan, requiring Department of Environment approval with public notice, comment periods, and hearings before installation

Mandates a 90% minimum carbon dioxide capture rate for electric providers, with flexibility for other industries to operate at 80-90% if technical feasibility studies support a lower threshold

Prohibits using captured carbon dioxide for enhanced oil or gas recovery, requiring applicants to identify alternative end uses or sequestration destinations permitted under state law

Increases civil penalties for violations of carbon capture requirements to up to $50,000 per day (compared to $10,000 for other air quality violations), with fines deposited in the carbon dioxide sequestration fund

Requires the department to submit triennial reports to the governor and legislature reviewing carbon capture implementation, including technical feasibility assessments and environmental justice analyses for impacts on disadvantaged communities
