The Impact of Liability on the Adoption and Diffusion of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies

2015

Scholarly Work

Elizabeth Joan Wilson, Mark A. de Figueiredo

This paper links potential CCS system requirements with potential risks and damages and examines how damages are treated in the subsurface injection realm, with particular attention paid to Texas and California regulations and case law.

2015

Scholarly Work

Energy Sector Planning and Analysis (ESPA)

This report summarizes current and potential expansions to the CO2 pipeline network in the US, and provides an overview of permitting, regulation, and policies at the federal and state levels.

Understanding barriers to commercial-scale carbon capture and sequestration in the United States: An empirical assessment

2013

Scholarly Work

Lincoln L. Davies, Kirsten Uchitel, John Ruple

This paper identifies the lack of a comprehensive regulatory regime governing CCS technology and how fragmented regulation is a significant barrier to CCS deployment.

Alberta’s Energy Future in Carbon Capture and Storage: A Comparative Analysis of CCS Legislation

2013

Scholarly Work

Megan Lancashire

This report examines the CCS legislation passed in Wyoming, Kansas, Montana and the States of Victoria and Queensland in Australia to generate an understanding of the positive and negative elements of written CCS legislation in Alberta.

A Cooperative Federalism Framework for CCS Regulation

2012

Scholarly Work

Jonas J. Monast, Brooks R. Pearson, Lincoln F. Pratson

This paper reviews the history of cooperative federalism and how it may provide a framework to determine appropriate roles for federal and state governments, and applies that framework to the gaps in the CCS regulatory structure.

Defining Biomass as a Source of Renewable Energy: The Life Cycle of Carbon Emissions of Biomass Energy and a Survey and Analysis of Biomass Definitions in States’ Renewable Portfolio Standards, Federal Law, and Proposed Legislation

2011

Scholarly Work

Christine Zeller-Powell

This thesis paper identifies that federal and state laws should incorporate a life cycle analyses of GHG emissions in order to more effectively incentivize bioenergy that reduces GHG emissions.

Remaking the World to Save It: Applying U.S. Environmental Laws to Climate Engineering Projects

2011

Scholarly Work

Tracy D. Hester

This Article examines how U.S. environmental laws might apply to climate engineering research and how the U.S. courts would review disputes over those projects.

Carbon capture and storage policy in the United States: A new coalition endeavors to change existing policy

2011

Scholarly Work

Melisa Pollak, Sarah Johnson Phillips, Shalini Vajjhala

This paper reviews geologic storage (GS) policy developments at both the U.S. federal and state levels, including some original research on state GS policy development.

Accelerating Carbon Capture and Sequestration Projects: Analysis and Comparison of Policy Approaches

2011

Scholarly Work

Elizabeth A. Burton, Souheil Ezzedine, John Reed, John H. Beyer

This paper seeks to inform the development of any future legislation in California, should it be deemed necessary to employ CCS to meet the goals of Assembly Bill 1925 (2006).

Analysis of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Pore Space Legislation: A Review of Existing and Possible Regimes

2011

Scholarly Work

Elizabeth Lokey Aldrich, Cassandra Koerner

This paper discusses possible liability schemes, critically analyzes those state-level schemes currently in place, and proposes the best possible choice for long-term coverage of geological sequestration.
