Legal challenges of carbon capture and storage in the South China Sea region
This article offers a survey of CCS projects in the South China Sea region and discusses the legal challenges associated with CCS activities in state practice.
Potential Regulatory Systems for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS): Legal Analysis of the Current and Future Regulatory Systems and Recommendations for Acceptance in South Korea
This dissertation aims to set up a legal and regulatory framework for CCS in South Korea.
The Opportunities to Promote Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
This report aims to illustrate and explain how the various UNFCCC 'vehicles' are linked and how they individually and collectively can be used to support CCS while simultaneously enhancing climate mitigation outcomes.
Correlative Rights and Limited Common Property in the Pore Space: A Response to the Challenge of Subsurface Trespass in Carbon Capture and Sequestration
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.
Best Practice for Transitioning from Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR to CO2 Storage
This paper identifies the legal, regulatory and economic challenges in the USA, Canada, EU, Australia, and Brazil that must be addressed if an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project is to serve as a CCS project.

Mich. Comp. L. Ann. § 460.1047
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.
Manchin Net-Negative CCS Amendment S. 2012 – The Energy Policy Modernization Act (EPMA)
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.
Liability and Compensation for Damage Resulting from CO2 Storage Sites
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.
