Tamaulipas lawmaker Ana Laura Huerta Valdovinos has proposed reforms to the state's Climate Change Law to align with Mexico's national framework, aiming to establish the region as a hub for carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS). The initiative includes defining CCUS, recognizing it as a priority mitigation strategy, and creating a State Program to set targets and foster collaboration among public agencies and academia. A study suggests that the Tampico-Misantla Basin could potentially store over 2 billion metric tons of CO₂, aiding Mexico's emissions-reduction commitments under the Paris Agreement.
