Carbon Capture and Storage: Designing the Legal and Regulatory Framework for New Zealand
The purpose of this Report is to identify the best possible legal framework for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in New Zealand.
Legal Liability for Carbon Capture and Storage in Australia: Where Should the Losses Fall?
This article presents a critical analysis of the current and proposed CCS legal frameworks across a number of jurisdictions in Australia in order to examine the legal treatment of the risks of carbon leakage from CCS operations.
A Cooperative Federalism Framework for CCS Regulation
This paper reviews the history of cooperative federalism and how it may provide a framework to determine appropriate roles for federal and state governments, and applies that framework to the gaps in the CCS regulatory structure.
Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS or Bio-CCS)
This paper identifies some of the challenges facing BECCS deployment within the economic instruments of the European Union and existing global agreements.
The Emergence of Carbon Sequestration: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography of Legal Aspects for CCS
This article provides an overview of the legal aspects and issues arising from CCS and contains an annotated bibliography of selected scholarly articles and an unannotated bibliography of significant governmental and non-governmental reports.
CCSReg Project Model Legislation
This is model federal legislation to establish a comprehensive system for the safe and effective transport and geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide.
220 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. § 75/1 et seq.
The Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Sequestration Act regulates the construction of pipelines to transport carbon dioxide to sequestration and enhanced oil recovery, as “critical to the promotion and use of Illinois coal.”
Ind. Code § 14-39-1-1 et seq
Grants a certified CO2 pipeline company authority to condemn a right-of-way for construction of pipelines to transport CO2 to enhanced oil recovery (EOR), deep saline injection, or sequestration, inside or outside of Indiana.
The Feasibility of Applying Strict-Liability Principles to Carbon Capture and Storage
This note proposes that the policies behind strict liability make it a viable remedy, superior to statutory and many common law causes of action, for the potential and probable injuries that will inevitably flow from CCS operations.
Carbon Capture and Storage: Model Regulatory Framework
This report seeks to provide a tool for governments to use in developing national CCS plans and frameworks that addresses all stages of the CCS chain, from carbon dioxide capture, to its transportation and storage.
