(a) Storage operators shall pay the secretary a fee on each ton of carbon dioxide injected for storage. The fee shall be in the amount set by legislative rule. The amount shall be based on the contribution of the storage facility and the source of the carbon dioxide to the energy and agriculture production economy of West Virginia and the secretary’s anticipated expenses associated with the long-term monitoring and management of closed storage facilities. This fee shall be deposited in the Carbon Dioxide Storage Facility Trust Fund.
(b) The secretary shall file with the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Government and Finance a report discussing whether the amount in the Carbon Dioxide Storage Facility Trust Fund and fees being paid into it are sufficient to satisfy the fund’s objectives. The first report is due December 31, 2025, and subsequent reports are due every four years thereafter.
