As the United States continues to debate the climate change issue, attention is being focused on the burning of fossil-fuels for power generation, manufacturing, and transportation as a primary source of greenhouse gases. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology holds out the promise of being able to store carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities underground in deep storage sites, such as enhanced oil and gas recovery, saline aquifers, and shale formations. This pamphlet discusses the status of the development of CCS siting and regulation in the United States.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration is just one title in the continuing series of LexisNexis Global Climate Change Special Pamphlets that collectively address the law of global climate change. The series, written by members of the American College of Environmental Lawyers (ACOEL) and other experts, provides complete and up-to-date legal analysis of federal and state climate change statutory and case law, economic analysis of emerging carbon markets, practice pointers, and when appropriate, checklists and forms.

Other titles currently available for purchase are: EPA's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, The SEC and Climate: Disclosure Requirements, Cap-and-Trade: Law and Economics, Renewable Portfolio Standards, Solar Power: Law and Economics, and Climate Change Impacts and the Endangered Species Act.
