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.

Toward a Regional Approach to Climate Change Mitigation Policies: The Roles of and Barriers to Policy and Legal Framework to Expand Potential Opportunities for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in the Asian Pacific Region

2019
Scholarly Work
Akihiro Nakamura, Kenichiro Yanagi, Eiji Komatsu
This study analyzes relevant policy for, and legal barriers to, developing the future opportunities for CCUS technologies in the Asia Pacific Region (APR), especially in the ASEAN countries.

Policy Priorities to Incentivize Large Scale Deployment of CCS

2019
Think Tank Report
Alex Zapantis, Alex Townsend, Dominic Rassool
This Global CCS Institute report identifies the current policy gaps that are holding back investment in CCS, and seeks to address these gaps by describing a framework to support the transition from current to future rates of deployment of CCS.

S.407 – Carbon Capture Modernization Act

2019
Proposed Legislation
116th U.S. Congress (2019-2020)
This bill modifies 26 U.S.C. 48A to make CCUS retrofits to coal plants eligible for the qualifying advanced coal project tax credit.

Making Negative Emissions Economically Feasible: The View from California

2018
Scholarly Work
Roger D. Aines, Sean T. McCoy
This paper identifies how amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard would create the first substantial payment system for negative emissions.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Protocol under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard

2018
Regulation
California Air Resources Board
The protocol allows transportation fuels whose lifecycle emissions have been reduced through CCS or direct air capture to become eligible for credits under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Governance of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Accounting, Rewarding and the Paris Agreement

2018
Scholarly Work
Asbjørn Torvanger
This paper focuses on governance aspects of BECCS with the aim to identify pragmatic ways forward for the technology.

How Low Can We Go? The Implications of Delayed Ratcheting and Negative Emissions Technologies on Achieving Well Below 2 °C

2018
Scholarly Work
Matthew Winning, Steve Pye, James Glynn, Daniel Scamman, Daniel Welsby
This chapter considers the impacts of delaying ratcheting-up commitments until 2030 on global emissions trajectories towards 2 °C and 1.5 °C, and the role of offsets via negative emissions technologies.

The role of CCS in meeting climate policy targets: Understanding the potential contribution of CCS to a low carbon world, and the policies that may support that contribution

2018
Think Tank Report
Paul Ekins, Nick Hughes, Steve Pye, Matthew Winning, Richard Macrory, Ben Milligan, Stuart Haszeldine, Jim Watson
This Global CCS Institute commissioned report examines novel or adaptive CCS legal and regulatory frameworks in other countries and attempts to draw lessons around issues in deployment from case studies of analogous technologies and systems.

Three layers of energy law for examining CO2 transport for carbon-capture and storage

2017
Scholarly Work
Raphael J. Heffron, Lauren Downes, Marie Bysveen, Elisabeth V. Brakstad, Tom Mikunda, Filip Neele, Charles Eickhoff, David Hanstock, Diana Schumann
This research provides a legal analysis concerning four scenarios for cross-border carbon dioxide (CO2) transport that could increase the deployment of carbon-capture and storage (CCS) deployment in Europe.

Legal Pathways to Widespread Carbon Capture and Sequestration

2017
Scholarly Work
Wendy B. Jacobs, Michael Craig
This article describes the potential of CCS for achieving deep decarbonization of the U.S. power sector, explains the key components of CCS, and identifies and recommends several federal and state legal reforms necessary to drive it forward.
