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.

The Feasibility of Applying Strict-Liability Principles to Carbon Capture and Storage

2010
Scholarly Work
Nathan R. Hoffman
This note proposes that the policies behind strict liability make it a viable remedy, superior to statutory and many common law causes of action, for the potential and probable injuries that will inevitably flow from CCS operations.
