This report provides a critical literature review of the legal and regulatory issues of CCS in the European Union, including how CCS fits within the international legal framework and what policy incentives can be used to increase CCS deployment.
This opinion piece argues that CCS regulatory frameworks need to be consistent with international law where transboundary impacts are possible, transboundary transportation is involved, or offshore storage activities are contemplated.
This paper analyzes how CCS could be integrated into the UNFCCC climate regime and proposes solutions guaranteeing liability for possible non-permanence of CCS.
