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.

Carbon Capture and Storage Law for New Zealand: A Comparative Study

2009
Scholarly Work
Barry Barton
This paper analyzes the issues involved in creating a CCS legal regime for New Zealand, including rights to real property, title or permits, relationship with oil and gas operations, regulation, liability, and relationships with other legislation.

Paving The Legal Path For Carbon Sequestration From Coal

2009
Scholarly Work
Victor B. Flatt
This article focuses on the need to address carbon capture and sequestration jurisdiction (what is CCS and how it should be permitted), liability (who is responsible for any harm), and property rights (who owns the various pieces of a CCS system).

Carbon Capture and Storage in the European Emissions Trading Scheme

Carbon Capture and Sequestration: Identifying and Managing Risks

2009
Scholarly Work
Alexandra B. Klass, Elizabeth J. Wilson
This article suggests ways in which risks of CCS can be minimized and managed and considers more broadly when or if CCS should be deployed or whether its use should be limited or rejected in favor of other solutions.

Sub-Seabed Carbon Sequestration: Building the Legal Platform

2009
Scholarly Work
Robert G. Lee
This paper analyzes the rapid changes made at the international, EU and UK level to shape a legal framework of sub-seabed carbon sequestration and how the EU Emissions Trading Scheme will play a role in the viability of the technology.
