Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage

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.

2017
Think Tank Report
National Energy Technology Laboratory, Great Plains Institute
This report documents key findings from a technical workshop sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy to identify and promote best practices for siting and regulating CO2 infrastructure (pipelines, EOR, and other geologic CO2 storage sites).

Correlative Rights and Limited Common Property in the Pore Space: A Response to the Challenge of Subsurface Trespass in Carbon Capture and Sequestration

2017
Scholarly Work
Tara Kathleen Righetti
This article argues that the challenge of subsurface trespass associated with CCS can be overcome by conceptualizing pore space rights in the storage complex as limited common property with rights of proportionate use.
