CCS Liability

This paper proposes a transboundary CCS liability framework that accounts for prepared standards and procedures around notification, risk impact assessment, and monitoring.

This Global CCS Institute report seeks to make the case for a more commercially-minded view of CCS liability, and demonstrates proposed solutions and examples available in addressing liability for those seeking to invest in or operate CCS projects.

The goal of this article is to sketch how CCS liability rules could be developed, and to present a compensation mechanism that takes into account the particular difficulties arising with CCS, especially the long-tail risk of a potential CO2 release.

This paper carries out a policy review to assess the risks involved in the CCS industry and identifies uncertainties with regards to the risks that make policy making and insuring CCS projects very difficult.

This report reviews current laws and emerging CCS specific regulations, in different regions of the world and under different legal frameworks, to investigate and assess the various potential financial mechanisms for supporting CO2 liability.

This paper develops ‘lessons learned’ from past management of radioactive waste (RW) that could help to both structure liability and ultimately deploy future RW and geological CO2 storage projects.
