Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a recognized technology for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in particular, carbon dioxide (CO2). CCS involves the capture of CO2 at large final emitters, the compression and transportation of the CO2 to a storage destination and its injection under pressure through an oilfield-type well into the pore space of suitable geological formations, where it will remain forever. The main storage targets are depleted oil and gas reservoirs and saline aquifers; the latter are much more significant in terms of volume.
This chapter examines the relationship between CCS and the law of the sea and considers the extent to which the law of the sea facilitates or poses an obstacle to the adoption of CCS activities in marine areas.
