This report identifies a need for a comprehensive CCS regulatory regime based around a cooperative federalism approach that directly addresses liability concerns and that generally does not upset traditional lines of federal-state authority.
This paper examines the current status and policy development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Korea and proposes establishing a legal framework based on the Korean 'Marine Environmental Management Act.'
