A number of analogs for carbon capture and storage exist, such as underground injection of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery, and storage of natural gas. The liability workgroup looked at existing regulations, liability precedents, and experience with CCS analogs across a variety of states, with a goal of identifying legislation and precedents that may be important to consider when siting CCS projects, and to compare the similarities and differences among the states. This case study analysis included California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Texas, and Wyoming.

The summary document provides a brief synopsis of this analysis. For ease of reading and printing, information collected for the states is provided in two parts. The full set of background research is also provided below.
