    Effective Regulation And Implementation Of Commercial Carbon Cature And Storage In Alberta And Canada
    (2013) Boyce, Elizabeth
    The purpose of this paper is to review current CCS legislation and practices in leading jurisdictions and make recommendations to the regulators on what should be required and how those requirements should be implemented for commercial CCS development in Alberta and Canada. If commercial CCS is going to be a viable climate change solution, as believed by the Government of Alberta and supported by research, there should be some consistency in regulatory requirements. For future CCS projects in Alberta and even Canada, there needs to be some certainty, predictability, and uniformity under the law. There also must be consideration for the environment, public safety, and long-term liability. This is a multidisciplinary project that will address CCS technology, the environmental impacts and protection, regulatory requirements, social awareness and acceptance, and economics. A major component of this paper will be focused on integrating information from Shell’s application and environmental impact assessment to point out what should and has been included and what should but hasn’t been addressed appropriately for the magnitude of the project.
