About
The Institute is delighted to invite you to join us for our Monthly Member Webinar series. Each month, members and friends of the Institute will gain insights from fellow members and esteemed guests on a broad spectrum of topics in carbon capture and storage
This month’s webinar focuses on CCUS regulatory regimes in the Middle East and features Al Tamimi & Company, a leading corporate and commercial law firm in the region. Al Tamimi will be joined by the Institute’s Chief Regional Officer MEA, Dr. Mohammad Abu Zahra.
This webinar will examine the regulatory challenges shaping CCUS deployment, including long‑term liability for stored CO₂, insurance and government backstops, and the six core building blocks of an effective framework: clear legal authority, dual MRV systems, environmental safeguards, financial support mechanisms, coordinated governance, and adaptive review processes. It will also explore cross‑border collaboration, open‑access CCUS infrastructure, and the Middle East’s strategic opportunity to leverage its geological storage capacity and industrial base to become a global leader in CCUS.
Register today and don’t miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of developments in CCS.
Note: This webinar will be recorded and will be exclusively available to members of the Global CCS Institute via the Member Portal login.
