Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage


Carbon Capture and Storage

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.

Implications of geoengineering under the 1.5 °C target: Analysis and policy suggestions

2017
Scholarly Work
CHEN Ying, XIN Yuan
This paper proposes several policy suggestions for China to strengthen research on and response to geoengineering.

Analysis of Civil Liability Regarding CCS: The Brazilian Case

2017
Scholarly Work
José Ricardo Lemes de Almeida, Haline de Vasconcellos Rocha, Hirdan Katarina de Medeiros Costa, Edmilson Moutinho dos Santos, Cristina F. Rodrigues, Manoel J. Lemos deSousa
This paper discusses the civil liability regarding CCS in Brazilian environmental law and shows that the lack of a legal and regulatory framework of CCS activities represents the main barrier to its national development.

Uncertain liability and stagnating CCS deployment in the European Union: Is it the Member States’ turn?

2017
Scholarly Work
Viktor Weber
This article considers that EU Member States and the industry need to cooperate closely with site‐specific agreements and give commercially reasonable meaning to the EU CCS Directive’s terms in order to facilitate deployment of the technology.

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.

Legal challenges of carbon capture and storage in the South China Sea region

2017
Scholarly Work
Keyuan Zou, Lei Zhang
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

2017
Scholarly Work

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)

2017
Think Tank Report
Mark Bonner
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.

Siting and Regulating Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Infrastructure

2017
Think Tank Report
National Energy Technology Laboratory, Great Plains Institute
This report documents key findings from a technical workshop sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy to identify and promote best practices for siting and regulating CO2 infrastructure (pipelines, EOR, and other geologic CO2 storage sites).

Correlative Rights and Limited Common Property in the Pore Space: A Response to the Challenge of Subsurface Trespass in Carbon Capture and Sequestration

2017
Scholarly Work
Tara Kathleen Righetti
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.
