CCS in New Zealand: Can carbon capture and storage deliver value to New Zealand as we head towards a low carbon future?
This report summarizes the findings of a 2009 study investigating the implications of CCS should it be deployed in New Zealand.
Assessment of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Liability Regimes
This article assesses the carbon capture and sequestration liability regimes and concludes that incomplete liability schemes are likely to cause confusion, misunderstandings, and litigation as they are implemented.
LA Rev. Stat. Ann. §§30:1109
Louisiana has enacted legislation to limit private liability for sequestration of captured carbon dioxide by transferring ownership of sequestered carbon dioxide to the state after 10 years.
Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 154.27-100
Authorizes the exercise of eminent domain authority for carbon dioxide pipelines which have received construction certificates from the Kentucky State Board on Electric Generation and Siting.
The Limits of Liability in Promoting Safe Geologic Sequestration of CO2
This paper proposes a hybrid legal framework for carbon dioxide sequestration that combines a traditional regulatory regime with a novel two-tiered system of liability that is calibrated to objective site characteristics.
Environmental Liability regarding Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Operations in the EU
This article focuses on environmental liability for storage operations as it is regulated by the European Union's CCS Directive.
Issues concerning the implementation of the CCS Directive in the Netherlands
This paper reviews the implementation issues of the EU CCS Directive that may impact the deployment of large-scale CO2 capture and storage in the Netherlands and Europe.
Analysis of Liability Regimes for Carbon Capture and Sequestration: A Review for Policymakers
This paper describes short and long-term liability insurance instruments and provides examples of how they have been used and proposed for CCS.
Managing Liability: Comparing Radioactive Waste Disposal and Carbon Dioxide Storage
This paper develops ‘lessons learned’ from past management of radioactive waste (RW) that could help to both structure liability and ultimately deploy future RW and geological CO2 storage projects.
The necessity of and policy suggestions for implementing a limited number of large scale, fully integrated CCS demonstrations in China
This paper presents the overall circumstances for CCS development in China, including the threats and opportunities for large scale deployment of CCS and the initial barriers and advantages that China currently possesses.
