CCS Legal and Regulatory Indicator (CCS-LRI)
The Global CCS Institute’s 2018 CCS Legal and Regulatory Indicator (the CCS-LRI) offers an examination and assessment of national legal and regulatory CCS frameworks in 55 countries.
The Challenge of Carbon Dioxide Removal for EU Policy-Making
This paper discusses the challenge that carbon dioxide removal presents to the European Union's low-carbon policy.
HB 2182 – Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force
This bill establishes the Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force to identify land use practices that would promote increased greenhouse gas sequestration and develop incentives and funding mechanisms for these practices.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: From global potentials to domestic realities
This book explores the role of BECCS in climate governance and brings together a range of policy-relevant perspectives from global modeling efforts, climate diplomats' views, and UN and European climate policymaking.
Safeguarding Against Environmental Injustice: 1.5°C Scenarios, Negative Emissions, and Unintended Consequences
This article argues that environmental and climate justice concerns need to be accounted for in the design of policy measures for keeping warming below 1.5°C, and outlines policy guidance for safeguarding against unintended consequences.
Oceans in Transition: Incorporating Climate-Change Impacts into Environmental Impact Assessment for Marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction
This Article reviews the existing international law and policy framework for environmental impact assessment in areas beyond national jurisdiction, with a look at how ocean iron fertilization fits into the existing framework.
Technological Carbon Removal in the United States
This paper explores the potential for technological carbon removal in the United States, identifies the needs likely to arise on the pathway to large-scale deployment, and considers way to begin addressing those needs.
Carbon Capture and Sequestration Protocol under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard
The protocol allows transportation fuels whose lifecycle emissions have been reduced through CCS or direct air capture to become eligible for credits under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
Comment on ‘Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?’
This comment seeks to clarify some of the questions raised by Johannessen and Macdonald, with an aim to promote discussion in the scientific community about the evidence for carbon sequestration by seagrasses with a view to awarding carbon credits.
The role of CCS in meeting climate policy targets: Understanding the potential contribution of CCS to a low carbon world, and the policies that may support that contribution
This Global CCS Institute commissioned report examines novel or adaptive CCS legal and regulatory frameworks in other countries and attempts to draw lessons around issues in deployment from case studies of analogous technologies and systems.
