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.
Regulation classifying injection of CO2 streams for geological sequestration as Class VI injection wells subject to Utah underground injection control regulations.
Creates operating standards, permitting procedures, and reporting and monitoring requirements for Class VI injection wells for the geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide.
This report takes a detailed look at the current policy landscape and evaluates and recommends several key federal and state policy options that will enhance the further commercial deployment of CO2-EOR.

This initiative was formed to provide a better understanding of storage project screening; site selection; characterization; baseline monitoring, verification and accounting procedures; and information necessary to submit permit applications.
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to expand the definition of "qualifying income" for Master Limited Partnerships to include income and gains from carbon capture and storage.

This policy brief identifies the key factors that currently hold back CCS investment in the European Union and explores ways that CCS can be made viable.
This paper analyses the literature addressing the legal problems with CCS-CDM projects and reviews the two central aspects of (i) who should be liable and (ii) how should liability be designed to account for CO2 seepage.
This paper links potential CCS system requirements with potential risks and damages and examines how damages are treated in the subsurface injection realm, with particular attention paid to Texas and California regulations and case law.
This article aims to evaluate some of the provisions of the EU CCS Directive in terms of their effectiveness in achieving a balance between ensuring environmentally safe deployment and the encouragement of investment in the technology.
