Adjusting Carbon Management Policies to Encourage Renewable, Net-Negative Projects Such as Biochar Sequestration

2010

Scholarly Work

Darrel Fruth, Joseph Ponzi

This article considers the present legal challenges to adjust carbon management policies, specifically carbon crediting schemes, for biochar as a carbon sequestration technique.

The Feasibility of Applying Strict-Liability Principles to Carbon Capture and Storage

2010

Scholarly Work

Nathan R. Hoffman

This note proposes that the policies behind strict liability make it a viable remedy, superior to statutory and many common law causes of action, for the potential and probable injuries that will inevitably flow from CCS operations.

Legal and Commercial Models for Pore-Space Access and Use for Geologic CO2 Sequestration

2010

Scholarly Work

R. Lee Gresham, Owen L. Anderson

This article considers the legal and commercial models for securing the rights to use geologic pore space in an effort to sequester billions of metric tons of CO2 deep underground to mitigate climate change.

Paving The Legal Path For Carbon Sequestration From Coal

2009

Scholarly Work

Victor B. Flatt

This article focuses on the need to address carbon capture and sequestration jurisdiction (what is CCS and how it should be permitted), liability (who is responsible for any harm), and property rights (who owns the various pieces of a CCS system).

Reconciling King Coal and Climate Change: A Regulatory Framework for Carbon Capture and Storage

2009

Scholarly Work

Will Reisinger, Nolan Moser, Trent A. Dougherty, James D. Madeiros

This note examines the legal uncertainty surrounding the acquisition of storage space for carbon dioxide, the injection process, and the liability for post injection incidents as disincentives to the large-scale deployment of CCS in the United States

Carbon Capture and Sequestration: Identifying and Managing Risks

2009

Scholarly Work

Alexandra B. Klass, Elizabeth J. Wilson

This article suggests ways in which risks of CCS can be minimized and managed and considers more broadly when or if CCS should be deployed or whether its use should be limited or rejected in favor of other solutions.

Environmental bonds and the challenge of long-term carbon sequestration

2009

Scholarly Work

David Gerard, Elizabeth J. Wilson

The paper examines the use of bonding to address environmental problems and looks at its possible application to CCS projects.

Regulating Geologic Sequestration in the United States: Early Rules Take Divergent Approaches

2009

Scholarly Work

Melisa F. Pollak, Elizabeth J. Wilson

This paper compares state and federal regulations for the geological sequestration (GS) of carbon dioxide, focusing on elements where their differences highlight the choices that must be made to create a regulatory framework for GS in the U.S.

From EOR to CCS: The evolving legal and regulatory framework for carbon capture and storage

2008

Scholarly Work

Philip Marston, Patricia A Moore

This article addresses why the current legal framework will be largely adequate from a transaction and interim standpoint to allow progress from oil production operations to permanent underground storage.

Carbon Capture and Storage Project Development: An Overview of Property Rights Acquisition, Permitting, and Operational Liability Issues

2008

Scholarly Work

Thomas A. Campbell, Robert A. James, Julie Hutchings

This article covers potential challenges and solutions for CCS on topics such as the acquisition of property rights; permitting at both the federal and the state levels; and identification, reduction and transfer of liabilities.
