This book deals with open legal questions regarding offshore CCS projects. It analyses international and regional maritime and climate protection law as well as relevant European legislation. It concludes that the permission and encouragement of offshore CCS projects is highly problematic from an international environmental law perspective.
The technology of offshore carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is likely to be deployed on a commercial scale soon. CCS technology could be used to limit global temperature rise to less than 2°C above the pre-industrial level. However, such projects entail many environmental risks, and their effectiveness for the mitigation of climate change is disputed. This book tries to clarify open legal questions regarding European offshore CCS projects in the context of international and regional maritime and climate protection law as well as relevant European legislation. Taking the remaining scientific uncertainty into account, this book concludes that the permission and encouragement of offshore CCS projects is highly problematic from an international environmental law perspective.
Contents: Offshore Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage from an International Environmental Perspective - International and Regional Maritime Protection Law - European Jurisdictional Zone - Climate Protection Law - CCS Directive - Principles of International Environmental Law.
«Dieses Buch wird sämtlichen einschlägig Tätigen, sei es in der internationalen oder der staatlichen Praxis oder bei Planung und Betrieb von unterseeischen CCS-Projekten, ausgezeichnete Dienste leisten.» (Thomas Horvath, Zeitschrift für öffentliches Recht 1, 2015)
