Description

This form is a carbon dioxide storage lease. Minnesota Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease is a legal agreement that allows for the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in underground geological formations within the state of Minnesota. This lease plays a crucial role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change by providing a framework for the safe and effective storage of CO2, a major contributor to global warming. Under this lease, companies or organizations interested in storing CO2 can enter into an agreement with the state of Minnesota to secure the rights to utilize suitable geological formations for CO2 storage purposes. The lease includes detailed provisions and requirements to ensure the protection of human health, safety, and the environment throughout the storage process. There are primarily two types of Minnesota Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease: 1. Industrial/Commercial Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease: This lease is intended for industrial or commercial entities that generate substantial amounts of CO2 emissions as part of their operations. These entities, such as power plants or large-scale manufacturing facilities, can lease underground geological formations to store their CO2 emissions and reduce their carbon footprint. 2. Research/Experimental Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease: This lease is specifically designed for research institutions, universities, or organizations conducting experimental projects related to carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. It enables these entities to lease underground storage spaces in Minnesota for conducting studies, testing various CO2 storage methodologies, and advancing CCS research. The Minnesota Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease requires lessees to comply with relevant state and federal regulations regarding CO2 storage, monitoring, and reporting. It typically involves an assessment of the geological suitability of the storage sites and the implementation of robust monitoring and verification systems to ensure the long-term safety and containment of the stored CO2.
