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 role of CCS in meeting climate policy targets: Understanding the potential contribution of CCS to a low carbon world, and the policies that may support that contribution

2018
Think Tank Report
Paul Ekins, Nick Hughes, Steve Pye, Matthew Winning, Richard Macrory, Ben Milligan, Stuart Haszeldine, Jim Watson
This Global CCS Institute commissioned report examines novel or adaptive CCS legal and regulatory frameworks in other countries and attempts to draw lessons around issues in deployment from case studies of analogous technologies and systems.

Three layers of energy law for examining CO2 transport for carbon-capture and storage
