Liability and Financial Responsibility Frameworks for Carbon Capture and Sequestration
by Elizabeth Wilson, Mark A. DeFigueiredo, Chiara Trabucchi and Kate Larsen - December 2007Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) is an important option for reducing CO2 emissions from human activities. There is growing interest in CCS as renewable energy and energy efficiency alone are unlikely to deliver the emission
