Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a rapidly evolving next-generation technology which mitigates climate change by capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it is released into the atmosphere.
CCS technology reduces carbon emissions and so plays an essential role in meeting global and regional temperature targets. This second edition explores the latest regulatory, political and economic trends and themes arising from CCS technologies and projects by:
- focusing on recent changes to the regulatory frameworks for CCS in the European Union and Germany, and also on an international level;
- assessing the impact of emission trading systems on the economic viability of CCS technologies;
- providing an overview of recent public funding programmes for creating a market for CCS technologies; and
- exploring various CCS projects and national strategies in implementing CCS technologies.
Now that pilot CCS projects are successfully proliferating, this Special Report provides the regulatory and political insights to succeed in the rapidly changing CCS market. It is an invaluable resource for in-house counsel, senior managers, engineers, consultants, researchers and policy makers with an interest in the energy sector and CCS technologies and projects.
