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 ocean is key to achieving climate and societal goals: Ocean-based approaches can help close mitigation gaps

2019
Scholarly Work
Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Eliza Northrop, Jane Lubchenco
This article outlines a “no-regrets to-do list” of ocean-based climate actions that could be set in motion today, including the required policy developments around the restoration of coastal and marine ecosystems and carbon storage in the seabed.

ICEF Industrial Heat Decarbonization Roadmap

2019
Think Tank Report
David Sandalow, Julio Friedmann, Roger Aines, Colin McCormick, Sean McCoy, Joshuah Stolaroff
This Roadmap report explores the challenge of industrial heat decarbonizati􏰀on in the cement, iron and steel, and chemical industries and reviews four technological approaches, including CCUS.

The Government’s Multi-Faceted Role in Resolving the Main Legal Issues regarding Carbon Capture and Sequestration

2019
Scholarly Work
MoonSook Park
This article addresses four CCS legal issues that are of common importance to governments and should be covered in any future regulatory systems: permitting, environmental impact assessments, liability, and property rights.

Toward a Regional Approach to Climate Change Mitigation Policies: The Roles of and Barriers to Policy and Legal Framework to Expand Potential Opportunities for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in the Asian Pacific Region

2019
Scholarly Work
Akihiro Nakamura, Kenichiro Yanagi, Eiji Komatsu
This study analyzes relevant policy for, and legal barriers to, developing the future opportunities for CCUS technologies in the Asia Pacific Region (APR), especially in the ASEAN countries.

Policy Priorities to Incentivize Large Scale Deployment of CCS

2019
Think Tank Report
Alex Zapantis, Alex Townsend, Dominic Rassool
This Global CCS Institute report identifies the current policy gaps that are holding back investment in CCS, and seeks to address these gaps by describing a framework to support the transition from current to future rates of deployment of CCS.

S.407 – Carbon Capture Modernization Act

2019
Proposed Legislation
116th U.S. Congress (2019-2020)
This bill modifies 26 U.S.C. 48A to make CCUS retrofits to coal plants eligible for the qualifying advanced coal project tax credit.

Making Negative Emissions Economically Feasible: The View from California

2018
Scholarly Work
Roger D. Aines, Sean T. McCoy
This paper identifies how amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard would create the first substantial payment system for negative emissions.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration Protocol under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard

2018
Regulation
California Air Resources Board
The protocol allows transportation fuels whose lifecycle emissions have been reduced through CCS or direct air capture to become eligible for credits under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Governance of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Accounting, Rewarding and the Paris Agreement

2018
Scholarly Work
Asbjørn Torvanger
This paper focuses on governance aspects of BECCS with the aim to identify pragmatic ways forward for the technology.

How Low Can We Go? The Implications of Delayed Ratcheting and Negative Emissions Technologies on Achieving Well Below 2 °C

2018
Scholarly Work
Matthew Winning, Steve Pye, James Glynn, Daniel Scamman, Daniel Welsby
This chapter considers the impacts of delaying ratcheting-up commitments until 2030 on global emissions trajectories towards 2 °C and 1.5 °C, and the role of offsets via negative emissions technologies.
