CCS, as it is known, aims to combat global climate change by trapping carbon dioxide emissions from places such as refineries and factories, and, then sequestering it underground. Each step of the process (capture, transportation and storage) raises legal and regulatory issues.
Carbon Capture and Storage: Emerging Legal and Regulatory Issues brings together some of the world’s leading practitioners and scholars working in the field of carbon capture law and regulation to provide a critical assessment of progress to date and challenges on the horizon. Chapters cover developments in international public law, the European Union, the United States, Canada, and Australia, together with perspectives from China and India. Finance and questions of public perception and participation also receive special attention.
The book follows the successful two-day Carbon Capture & Storage Global Legal Symposium in March 2010.
