The commercial deployment of carbon capture and storage technology
One of the most significant impediments to a carbon dioxide capture and storage industry is not technical but legal-managing liabilities associated with the long-term geologic storage of carbon dioxide in reservoirs, particularly deep saline. There is no dedicated regulatory regime in place at either the federal or state level for capture and ...

Long-term viability of carbon capture and storage in a European context
There is much discussion concerning the question whether Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a sustainable climate change mitigation option. An even more debated topic is currently whether it is affordable and economically viable on the long term. Different legal frameworks at different levels around the globe seek to provide incentives for CCS technology. This article focuses on two core aspects ...

The trouble with angels: carbon capture and storage hurdles and solutions
This article examines the challenges to commercial deployment of carbon capture and storage using geologic sequestration. The authors argue that CCS will never become a reality without early federal investment in research and development, a uniform federal regulatory framework, and a framework to address the currently unknown and unquantifiable liabilities. They suggest a model similar to the ...

Transboundary transportation of CO2 associated with carbon capture and storage projects
International legal issues raised by Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) have received close attention in recent years, including important amendments being made to two international marine environment protection treaties – the global London Protocol 1 and the regional OSPAR Convention2 – to resolve their uncertain legal treatment of CO2 storage into the sub-seabed. To date, however, most published ...

Guidelines for carbon dioxide capture, transport, and storage
This publication is the collective product of a carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) stakeholder process convened by the World Resources Institute (WRI) between February 2006 and September 2008. The unique perspectives and expertise that each participant brought to the process were invaluable to ensuring the development of a robust and broadly accepted set of technical guidelines for CCS. ...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage: Priorities for development
Oil, coal and natural gas will remain the world’s dominant sources of energy over the next decades, resulting in unsustainable levels of carbon dioxide emissions. This trend can be reversed only via a near revolution in the way we produce, transform and consume energy. Concerted global action is urgently needed to increase investment in energy technology solutions. Carbon dioxide capture and ...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and economic investment opportunities in the UK
This article reviews the role played by carbon and capture (CCS) technologies in order to facilitate the transition to low-carbon emitting technologies in the medium-term. More precisely, we address the following central questions: how will the development of CCS technologies impact energy policies in order to yield to sustainable energy solutions? At what costs will pollution reductions be ...

National implementation of carbon capture and storage: The case of Germany
As Germany is – and will remain for the immediate future – dependent on coal for generating power and ensuring energy supply, the German Government and various representatives from the private sector are currently assessing and promoting so called “Clean Coal” technologies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Scientific research and industrial pilot projects for capturing and storing carbon ...

Storing carbon: options for liability risk management, financial responsibility
The authors of this article say the technical complexity, economic impacts, social demand, and political challenges underpinning the deployment of carbon capture and storage technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired electric power generation are daunting, but not unprecedented. In response to these challenges, the authors recommend the creation of a new “federal government ...

Regulating carbon capture and storage in the European union: An economic and legal analysis
Capture of CO2 produced during electricity and heat generation and its subsequent geological storage is receiving increased attention in the discussion about emission reductions. This commentary discusses the importance of temporal and spatial system boundaries for competition among different CO2 abatement options in the context of the European Emission Trading Scheme. Referring to the recent ...

Report: Investors conditionally ready to back CCS development
The financial world may be ready to invest the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, provided certain pre-conditions are assured, according a recent report by the non-profit Climate Group and Ecofin Research Foundation (New York, NY). The report surveyed 30 private-sector capital providers on their views of the risks and returns of CCS development and found three basic ...

INFORSE-Europe comments on EU Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan), COM(2007)723 of 22 November 2007
INFORSE-Europe is concerned that the proposed SET-plan has a high focus on increased supportfor development of nuclear fission technologies with the so-called 'sustainable nuclear fission initiative' (to support development of a generation IV nuclear fission reactors). INFORSE-Europe is further concerned with the focus on carbon capture and storage as well as with the lack of focus on a number of ...

Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere
Abstract The capture and storage of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels is gaining attraction as a means to deal with climate change. CO2 emissions from biomass conversion processes can also be captured. If that is done, biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage (BECS) would become a technology that removes CO2 from the atmosphere and at the same time deliver CO2-neutral energy ...

Capturing King Coal: Deploying carbon capture and storage in the US at scale
Climate change is no longer simply an environmental issue. It is rapidly becoming one of the defining forces of economic development in the 21st century. It will shape investment, technology deployment, and human development around the world, and no sector will be more profoundly affected than energy. Given the constraints that climate impacts bring, thriving in the evolving global energy market ...

Leveraging knowledge in the innovation and learning process at GKN
To succeed in the competitive business arena, companies must leverage their existing knowledge and create new knowledge that favourably positions them in their targeted market. There has been a great deal of effort to develop new applications of information technology to support the digital capture, storage, retrieval and distribution of an organisation's explicitly documented knowledge. It is ...

Heat recovery solves carbon capture issues
Flue gas heat recovery at the fired heater overcomes major drawbacks to the successful operation of an amine based carbon capture plant The refining sector is facing a major transformation in the next three decades. Driven by more stringent regulation towards CO2 abatement and increasing pressure from consumers and investors, refiners are exploring options to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. ...

Possession is nine tenths of the law: managing a firm's knowledge base in a regime of weak appropriability
Much of the work currently going on in the field of knowledge management takes the capture, storage and dissemination within the firm of useful employee knowledge as its key focus. Knowledge management thus appears primarily as a technical challenge devising a suitable information system. Part of this challenge consists of ensuring that only those entitled to use the knowledge effectively gain ...
