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.
Allows power plants to recover costs of constructing and maintaining “advanced cleaner energy systems,” which include, in coal-fired plants, carbon capture and geologic sequestration of 85% or more CO2 emissions.

This report provides an update, including regulatory developments, to the CBD's 2012 Technical Series No. 66: Geoengineering in Relation to the Convention on Biological Diversity report on the potential impacts of geoengineering.
This amendment to the Energy Policy and Modernization Act names net-negative carbon dioxide emissions projects as a programmatic priority for DOE FE, and authorizes $22 million per year over five years to fund net-negative demonstration projects.
The goal of this article is to sketch how CCS liability rules could be developed, and to present a compensation mechanism that takes into account the particular difficulties arising with CCS, especially the long-tail risk of a potential CO2 release.
This paper also offers insight into how Taiwan might implement a successful CCS program through an examination of the established legal regimes in the EU and other G8 member countries.
