Description: The South Carolina Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease (with Landowner) is a legal agreement between a landowner and a carbon storage operator, allowing the operator to lease a designated area of land in South Carolina for the purpose of storing carbon dioxide (CO2) underground, thereby contributing to carbon capture and storage (CCS) efforts. Under this lease agreement, the landowner grants the carbon storage operator the exclusive rights to access their property and store CO2 in underground geological formations, such as depleted oil or gas reservoirs or deep saline aquifers. This lease ensures that the landowner receives fair compensation for the use of their land and ensures that all activities related to CO2 storage are carried out in compliance with relevant regulations and environmental standards.

Types of South Carolina Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease (with Landowner): 1. Private Land Lease: This type of lease refers to a carbon storage agreement between a carbon storage operator and a private landowner in South Carolina. The terms and conditions of the lease are negotiated between the two parties, covering aspects such as lease duration, compensation, liabilities, and environmental safeguards. 2. Public Land Lease: In certain cases, the South Carolina government or its relevant agencies may lease public land for CO2 storage purposes. This type of lease involves negotiations between the carbon storage operator and the government entity responsible for managing the particular land. The terms and conditions vary depending on the specific regulations and policies governing public land use in South Carolina. 3. Cooperative Agreement: A cooperative agreement is another type of South Carolina Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease (with Landowner). This agreement involves multiple landowners collectively leasing their respective properties to a carbon storage operator. The cooperative agreement streamlines the leasing process, allowing the operator to access a larger carbon storage area efficiently. The terms of the agreement are determined collectively by the participating landowners and the operator. These varying types of South Carolina Carbon Dioxide Storage Lease (with Landowner) accommodate different landownership situations and facilitate the effective implementation of CO2 storage projects in the region.
