Oregon Global Warming Commission Proposes New State Goals for Carbon Sequestration

In a newly-published proposal, the Oregon Global Warming Commission is calling for Oregon to invest in actions that will increase the carbon that is captured and stored in the state’s natural and working lands. The proposal was developed in response to Governor Brown’s climate change Executive Order 20-04, and calls for capturing and storing – or sequestering – an additional 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO2e) by 2030, and an additional 9.5 MMTCO2e per year by 2050.
