N.D. Cent. Code § 57-60-02.1

Current through 2024 Legislative Session
Section 57-60-02.1 - Carbon dioxide capture credit - Reporting requirement

A coal conversion facility that achieves a twenty percent capture of carbon dioxide emissions during a taxable period is entitled to a twenty percent reduction in the state general fund share of the tax imposed under section 57-60-02 during that taxable period. The facility is entitled to an additional reduction of one percent of the state general fund share of the tax imposed under section 57-60-02 for every additional two percentage points of its capture of carbon dioxide emissions. A maximum fifty percent reduction of the state general fund share of the tax imposed under section 57-60-02 is allowed for eighty percent or more capture of carbon dioxide emissions. A coal conversion facility may receive the reduction in coal conversion tax under this section for ten years from the date of first capture of carbon dioxide emission or for ten years from the date the coal conversion facility is eligible to receive the credit. A coal conversion facility that met the carbon dioxide capture requirements before January 1, 2017, may not claim the reduction under this section.

The operator of a coal conversion facility that receives a credit under this section shall report annually to the legislative council. The report must include:

1. An overview of the carbon dioxide capture project.
2. A status report on the current state of the carbon dioxide capture project, including data on the amount of carbon dioxide produced from the facility before the carbon dioxide capture project and the current carbon dioxide produced and captured from the facility.
3. Any recent changes to enhance the carbon dioxide capture system.
4. Information on the status of federal law and regulations related to the carbon dioxide capture project, including any benefits from the project realized by the operator under federal law and regulations.
