This paper sets out the potential impacts of existing marine laws, and possible amendments to marine conventions, on the international discussions over moving carbon capture and storage forward.
Carbon dioxide capture and storage—liability for non-permanence under the UNFCCC
This paper analyzes how CCS could be integrated into the UNFCCC climate regime and proposes solutions guaranteeing liability for possible non-permanence of CCS.
Carbon Capture and Storage: legal issues
This opinion piece argues that CCS regulatory frameworks need to be consistent with international law where transboundary impacts are possible, transboundary transportation is involved, or offshore storage activities are contemplated.
Acceptability of CO2 capture and storage: A review of legal, regulatory, economic and social aspects of CO2 capture and storage
This report provides a critical literature review of the legal and regulatory issues of CCS in the European Union, including how CCS fits within the international legal framework and what policy incentives can be used to increase CCS deployment.
