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.

Geologic carbon sequestration in Wyoming: Prospects and progress

2010
Scholarly Work
Carol D. Frost
This paper outlines the regulatory structure for CCS in Wyoming and introduces a study undertaken by University of Wyoming researchers to characterize Paleozoic deep saline aquifers in southwestern Wyoming for long-term geologic carbon storage.

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.

Pore space ownership issues for CO2 sequestration in the U.S.

2009
Scholarly Work
Ian Duncan, Jean-Philippe Nicot, Scott Anderson
This paper reviews a broad range of case law relevant to subsurface property rights and carbon dioxide sequestration and finds that U.S. state courts' application of basic common law principles is in fact consistent across all jurisdictions examined.

Geologic CO2 Sequestration: Who Owns the Pore Space

2009
Scholarly Work
Owen L. Anderson
This paper discusses the ownership of subsurface pore space in Texas to determine which property-interest holder has the sequestration rights.

State Policy on Geologic Sequestration: 2009 Update

2009
Scholarly Work
Melisa F. Pollak, Sarah Johnson Phillips
This white paper discusses state policy activity on geologic sequestration, with a focus on the latest trends and developments from 2009.

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.
