Constructing a Legal Framework for Carbon Capture and Storage in New Zealand: Approaches to Legislative Design
Year: 2014
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In 2009 the International Energy Agency called attention to the need for states to regulate carbon capture and storage activities. The New Zealand Government has responded to this call by, among other things, commissioning a report on the regulation of CCS. This report, authored by Professor Barry Barton, Kimberley Jordan and the author of this paper, was launched in December 2013.a This paper starts by providing a brief overview and update of the New Zealand legal and regulatory position on CCS. The bulk of the paper then seeks to address in more detail one particular issue - that of legislative design for a fledgling CCS regime.
