Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the technological process of capturing carbon dioxide from a power plant or industrial activity and the storage of that captured carbon dioxide in an underground basalt formation, saline aquifer, depleted oil and gas reservoir, or sub-sea geologic formation.
This paper proposes a transboundary CCS liability framework that accounts for prepared standards and procedures around notification, risk impact assessment, and monitoring.
This chapter examines the legal issues associated with the use of sub-seabed transboundary geological structures including saline aquifers for carbon dioxide storage or disposal purposes.
This chapter focuses upon technology development in respect to carbon capture and storage – exploring intellectual property, government funding, and innovation prizes, and whether or not such incentives have been productive.

This paper reviews the international regulatory structures and legal requirements related to the authorization and monitoring of CO2 storage facilities, with a close look at the Brazilian framework.
This paper reviews the role of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in enabling countries to meet the objectives they have set themselves in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), with particular emphasis on how it can impact CCS.
This paper seeks to provide an overview of CCS deployment in the USA while assessing the maturity of the US deployment framework, including policies and infrastructure.
This article reviews the development of common law rights in water and oil and gas to synthesize lessons for shaping the content and limits of rights in pore space.
This article explores the legal frameworks governing sub-seabed carbon dioxide injection (offshore CCS) in U.S. and Canadian waters, particularly in the Cascadia Basin.
