Montana seeks public input on new rules requiring greenhouse gas assessments for fossil fuel projects.
Montana’s Department of Environmental Quality is seeking public input on draft guidance for assessing greenhouse gas emissions from projects, following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling that allowed climate impacts to be considered in environmental reviews.
The guidance, created in response to 2025’s Senate Bill 221, requires emissions analysis for fossil fuel projects and allows it for others if needed.
It provides tools to measure direct and indirect emissions, acknowledging global mixing of greenhouse gases but noting each project contributes to climate change.
Environmental groups welcome the step forward but criticize the guidance for limiting analysis and failing to connect emissions to local harms or economic impacts.
Public comments are due by October 30, with listening sessions in Billings, Missoula, and Helena.
