Emerging Property and Liability Issues for Carbon Sequestration
Simpson Thacher senior counsel Adeeb Fadil and associate Mark de Figueiredo's article "Emerging Property and Liability Issues for Carbon Sequestration" was published in the September 2008 issue of the Bloomberg Sustainable Energy Law Report. The article addresses fundamental legal questions associated with the capture and storage of carbon dioxide, including how property rights to the "storage space" for carbon sequestration underground, such as in oil and gas fields and deep saline formations, are allocated and obtained; and what corresponding liability issues are presented. Bloomberg's Law Reports is a relatively new companion to Bloomberg's news, data and other analytics, which offers Bloomberg subscribers information about key business and legal developments.
