Global CCS Institute

Key Topics

Policy, Legal and Regulation

CCS policies and appropriate regulatory and legal frameworks provide the assurances required to build public confidence in CCS. These measures support the protection of public health, safety and the environment and the effective long-term stewardship of storage sites.

Policy and regulation also provide certainty regarding the rights and responsibilities of relevant stakeholders, including project developers, governments and the community. It underpins commercial transactions related to CCS operations and performance and any associated incentive schemes.

The Policy, Legal and Regulation Key Topics page draws together the most relevant reports and formal publications released by the Institute and its partner organisations, as well as blogs and other community-generated content.
