Carbon Capture and Storage: Models for Compensating Holdout Landowners
This article discusses three potential models for compensating holdout property owners of subsurface pore space relevant to CCS projects.
Permitting CO2 Pipelines
This paper assesses the legal framework for developing CO2 pipelines to support Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hub projects.
Limits to Paris Compatibility of CO2 Capture and Utilization
This paper finds that for a CCU technology to be Paris Agreement compatible by 2030, it has to have low GHG emissions from CO2 capture and conversion, replace a GHG-intensive substitute, and in most cases lead to permanent storage.
Legal and Regulatory Frameworks for CCUS: An IEA CCUS Handbook
This handbook identifies 25 priority issues that CCUS legal and regulatory frameworks should address for deployment, and presents global case studies on how different jurisdictions have approached these issues.
Instruction Memorandum on the use of pore space on U.S. public lands

Governance of Continental Shelf Spaces in the Energy Transition: Offshore Carbon Storage in Transboundary Geological Formations
The paper examines the governance of offshore carbon dioxide storage operations in the transboundary context under the light of applicable international rules and regulations and state practice.
National Policy for the Right-of-Way Authorizations Necessary for Site Characterization, Capture, Transportation, Injection, and Permanent Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide in Connection with Carbon Sequestration Projects
This Instruction Memorandum (IM) conveys policy and direction for authorizing rights-of-way (ROWs) to use public lands for CO2 sequestration projects.
Carbon Sequestration Collaboration Act
This proposed bill requires the Department of Energy to establish a research initiative to evaluate carbon sequestration.
The Legal Framework for Offshore Carbon Capture and Storage in Canada
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of legal issues associated with deploying an offshore DAC system, powered by offshore wind turbines, in Canadian waters and storing the captured carbon dioxide in sub-seabed rock formations.
