The New Hampshire House Committee on Municipal and County Government has recommended House Bill 1205, which would ban carbon sequestration projects on state and county-owned lands, citing concerns over long-term contracts and land use restrictions. Currently, no public lands are enrolled in such projects, and a moratorium on new contracts over 500 acres is in place until November 2027, while a study committee is assessing the impacts of carbon sequestration on forest management and the timber industry.
