This joint resolution encourages the establishment of an interstate compact aimed at developing regional and international carbon dioxide pipeline infrastructure. It highlights the shared energy development history and geological features of Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, which make them suitable for enhanced oil recovery projects that require carbon dioxide. The resolution emphasizes the need for improved infrastructure to transport carbon dioxide efficiently among these regions, which would benefit their economies and enhance energy security for both the United States and Canada.

The resolution calls on the governor of Wyoming to initiate discussions with the governments of North Dakota, Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to establish this compact. It requests the governor to coordinate with state agencies to facilitate the development of the necessary infrastructure and framework for the compact. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to relevant state and provincial leaders, as well as the Wyoming Congressional Delegation, to ensure awareness and support for this initiative.
