TOPEKA, Kan. (RFD-TV) — North Dakota’s carbon capture industry is facing new legal uncertainty following a recent court ruling involving property rights and carbon capture projects. The decision sided with landowners, raising questions about how future projects could move forward. Roger McEowen with the Washburn School of Law joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to provide a closer look at the case.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, McEowen recapped the legal challenge and explained the factors that contributed to the district court’s decision.
