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.
Under this proposed legislation, non-corporate taxpayers would be allowed to exclude Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) grants and awards from gross income.
This paper identifies the lack of a comprehensive regulatory regime governing CCS technology and how fragmented regulation is a significant barrier to CCS deployment.
The Steering Committee of the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Regulatory Framework Assessment
This report recommends regulatory changes related to the technical, environmental, safety, and monitoring requirements for the safe deployment of CCS as well as other actions to increase the body of knowledge on CCS-related topics.
This paper highlights the benefits Alberta has obtained from the passage of carbon capture and storage (CCS) legislation and summarizes some of the work taking place via the Regulatory Framework Assessment (RFA).
This report examines the CCS legislation passed in Wyoming, Kansas, Montana and the States of Victoria and Queensland in Australia to generate an understanding of the positive and negative elements of written CCS legislation in Alberta.

This paper carries out a policy review to assess the risks involved in the CCS industry and identifies uncertainties with regards to the risks that make policy making and insuring CCS projects very difficult.

This paper analyses the December 2011 decision by the meetings of the UNFCCC in Durban, South Africa, to adopt modalities and procedures for CCS as clean development mechanism (CDM) project activities under the Kyoto Protocol.
This paper considers the extent of a surface landowner's rights above and below land and explores the treatment of underground space within the context of CCS in relation to differing jurisdictions, with particular attention paid to the U.S. and U.K.
This book chapter provides an overview of relevant international law for CCS and an analysis of the key provisions of European Directive 2009/31/EC on the geological storage of CO2.
