Abstract

This report examines key issues concerning the application of current law to the injection of CO2 associated with enhanced oil recovery operations. Its focus is on the applicable law within the United Kingdom including international conventions to which the UK is a party and EU legislation, particularly the EU CCS Directive (2009/31/EC), although some comparison with other jurisdictions has been included.
