A Prognosis, and Perhaps a Plan, for Geoengineering Governance
This article argues that governments should plan to use collaboration on natural disasters as a vehicle for developing the institutional capacity to manage the global climate.
Implementing the Precautionary Principle for Climate Engineering
This article provides an overview of debate in how to apply the precautionary principle to climate engineering (in part carbon dioxide removal) and what the precautionary principle means in a climate engineering context.
Understanding barriers to commercial-scale carbon capture and sequestration in the United States: An empirical assessment
This paper identifies the lack of a comprehensive regulatory regime governing CCS technology and how fragmented regulation is a significant barrier to CCS deployment.
Implications of Current Developments in International Liability for the Practice of Marine Geo-engineering Activities
This paper aims to identify the preventative effect of an international liability regime, in particular, state liability, on ocean iron fertilization activities.
Miss. Code Ann. § 27-65-19
Applies a significantly reduced sales tax rate to carbon dioxide sold to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects or permanent geological sequestration.
Engineering the Climate: Geoengineering as a Challenge to International Governance
This essay examines the existing international governance structures to address geoengineering and concludes that they are inadequate to the task and makes recommendations for structural adaptations in international governance to address the problem.
Direct air capture of CO2 and climate stabilization: A model based assessment
This paper assesses the regional incentives in deploying DAC under different assumptions about international climate policy and introduces a “clean oil” market via DAC as a way to provide incentives to oil exporting countries.
A Matter of Scale: Regional Climate Engineering and the Shortfalls of Multinational Governance
This article explores new ways to regulate climate engineering research through a cumulative bottom-up governance approach that would rely on networks of regional treaties, agreements and resolutions rather than a sweeping international convention.
Governing geoengineering research: why, when and how?
This paper suggests three areas of concern that any geoengineering governance research framework must respond to: the direct physical risks of the research; the transparency and responsibility in decision; and the larger societal meanings.
Digging Deep: Property Rights in Subterranean Space and the Challenge of Carbon Capture and Storage
This paper considers the extent of a surface landowner's rights above and below land and explores the treatment of underground space within the context of CCS in relation to differing jurisdictions, with particular attention paid to the U.S. and U.K.
