Legal Aspects of Carbon Capture and Storage

This presentation reviews many of the practical legal issues encountered in developing a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project.  The session will review legal issues at CO2 capture plants (such as contract, air permitting, intellectual property and tax incentives), CO2 Pipelines (such as DOT/PHMSA regulations and other state and federal requirements), and CO2 Storage Sites (such as injection well permitting and landowner consent), and provide an overview of the 45Q tax credit which is a primary incentive for CCS activity in the United States.
