Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies involve the capture of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO₂ via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage underground.
This comment considers state legislation on pore space ownership and examines existing subsurface case law in South Dakota to support the notion that pore space ownership should rest with the surface state.
This article considers the role of property rights in efforts to sequester underground hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide per year from power plants and other industrial facilities in order to mitigate climate change.
This paper provides an overview of some of the most important legal challenges that the regulation of CCS poses in New Zealand and offers some potential solutions to address these challenges.
This article provides an overview of two Canadian provinces grappling with greenhouse gas regulatory issues and the developing frameworks to govern processes and practice for carbon capture and sequestration projects.

This paper finds that Alberta’s current framework for assigning the long-term liability for damages arising from CCS is neither clear nor realistic and concludes with policy recommendations to Alberta’s government.
