Report, From EOR to CCS

Marston and Moore’s 2008 report discusses state regulatory frameworks for carbon dioxide pipelines as currently exists to support the EOR industry. It identifies those aspects of the existing regulatory regime that appear adequate to govern the sale, transport, and injection of CO2 for sequestration purposes, as well as those that do not. The authors conclude that the current legal framework will be largely adequate for sequestration purposes and suggest some possible approaches for crafting new rules to fill remaining legal or regulatory gaps.
