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.

The EPA’s UIC program regulates and clarifies the use of enhanced oil recovery wells for sequestration.

Update on the London Protocol – Developments on Transboundary CCS and on Geoengineering

2014
Scholarly Work
Tim Dixon, Justine Garrett, Edward Kleverlaan
This paper reviews the regulatory developments relating to transboundary carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) activities and regulation of ocean fertilization arising from the work and agreements under the London Protocol from 2010 to 2013.

Legal Liability and Carbon Capture and Storage: A Comparative Perspective

2014
Think Tank Report
Ian Havercroft, Richard Macrory
The report is intended to highlight key themes that have emerged in thinking about the design of appropriate legal liability regimes for CCS, and uses as core examples for comparison three jurisdictions - Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Regulatory Promotion of Emergent CCS Technology

2014
Scholarly Work
Lincoln Davies, Kirsten Uchitel, David Johnson
This report examines potential regulatory models for promoting CCS and seeks to assess where those regulatory regimes address or fail to address the impediments to commercial-scale CCS deployment.

Ownership Models for Geological Sequestration: A Comparison of the Emergent Regulatory Models in Australia and the United States

2014
Scholarly Work
Samantha Hepburn
This paper compares the Australian and U.S. models of geologic ownership for CCS, arguing that the Australian model of state ownership is preferable as it provides clarity, structure, and certainty for CCS markets.
