Carbon Capture and Storage in International Energy Policy and Law

Carbon Capture and Storage in International Energy Policy and Law identifies the main contemporary regulatory requirements, challenges and opportunities involving CCS from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. It draws on the scholarship of renowned researchers across the fields of international energy law and energy policy to address CCS regulation, and its impact on climate change, sustainable development, and related consequences for energy transition. In this vein, the book aims to address issues related to energy, energy justice, climate changes (including CCS technology). Contributors discuss the main challenges and advantages concerning international energy and the forms CCS may contribute to energy security, climate change, adaptation and mitigation of GHG emissions, and sustainable development. In this light, the work discusses CCS as a bridge that integrates international energy, climate change, and sustainable development. Covers contemporary regulatory command-and-control and market incentive instruments across the local, regional and/or international spheres in depth and in comparisonReviews deregulatory impacts, modern financing of CCS, liability of the involved parties, and pertinent environmental issuesAddresses sociotechnical aspects of CCS and its specific impact on the international arenaDiscusses the interplay of carbon capture and storage, renewables and the overall energy transition, current pathways to sustainable development, and emphasizes the consequences of its social dimensions INDICE: Part I.
