Bill Summary · HB 1104

Legislative bill overview

HB 1104 is an Indiana bill addressing carbon sequestration, currently in early legislative stages. The bill was introduced in January 2025 and has been referred to the Committee on Natural Resources for initial review. Specific policy details are not yet publicly available in standard legislative tracking systems.

Why is this important

Carbon sequestration—the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide—is relevant to climate policy, agricultural practices, and economic incentives. How Indiana structures carbon sequestration policy could affect farmers, landowners, businesses involved in carbon markets, and the state's environmental goals. The bill's approach will determine whether it focuses on incentives, regulations, research, or market mechanisms.

Potential points of contention

  • Market mechanism design: Whether the bill creates a carbon credit system, tax incentives, or direct payments—each approach has different costs and effectiveness
  • Agricultural vs. industrial focus: Disagreement over whether sequestration efforts should prioritize farmland, forests, or industrial carbon capture technology
  • State vs. federal coordination: Questions about how Indiana's approach aligns with federal climate initiatives and whether there are funding or regulatory conflicts
