Bill overview
This bill aims to encourage Massachusetts to set specific, measurable goals for increasing natural carbon sequestration – the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – across the state. It directs the state to develop quantified targets for achieving ‘net positive’ carbon sequestration, meaning more carbon is removed from the atmosphere than is released. The bill seeks to bolster natural methods of carbon capture, such as through forests, wetlands, and soil management. It’s currently being reviewed by the House Ways and Means committee.
