Research On The Legal Regulation Of Carbon Capture And Storage In China

Carbon capture and storage refers to a technology that separates carbon dioxide from industrial or related sources of energy,transports it to storage sites,and isolates it from the atmosphere for long periods of time,thereby reducing carbon emissions.The captured carbon dioxide can be turned into waste and used to increase oil recovery from 40 to45%,so it can be used in oil extraction,smelters,and even the automotive industry.Carbon capture and storage is the main technical means to cope with climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.This technology can achieve near-zero emission of carbon dioxide in fossil energy utilization,providing a large-scale reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in a short period of time.A possible strategic technology choice will help prevent global warming and protect national energy security.However,although the application of carbon capture and storage technology has great commercial and environmental significance,it also has certain environmental risks in its operation.To this end,legal regulation of carbon capture and storage,evading its environmental risks and promoting its commercial development has become the consensus of various countries in the world from carbon capture and storage practices.Developed countries use carbon capture and storage technology to reduce carbon emissions to achieve earlier emissions,so the developed countries' legislation on this technology is relatively more complete.The development of carbon capture and storage technology in China started late,but the development speed is very fast.At present,China does not have specific legislation for carbon capture and storage.It can only indirectly refer to the relevant provisions of the Laws on the Protection of Oil and Gas Pipelines,the Regulations on the Dangerous Goods of Roads and the Tort Liability Law,and it is impossible to capture carbon.With effective regulation and protection of storage activities,the promotion and commercialization of carbon capture and storage is limited.How to regulate and regulate carbon capture and storage,in order to make the implementation of carbon capture and storage technology legal,so that carbon capture and seal in China to promote and develop,is the focus of this article.This paper intends to introduce the content and implementation of carbon capture and storage technology,as well as the theoretical basis of environmental law for legal regulation of carbon capture and storage.And through analyzing the reasons,necessity and feasibility of China's legal regulation of carbon capture and storage,to explore the lack of legal regulation in the implementation of carbon capture and storage projects in China and whether China should deal with carbon capture and storage.problem.At the same time,using comparative analysis method,the paper introduces and contrasts the carbon capture and storage legal system in developed countries,proposes corresponding solutions according to the experience of European and American countries and China's national conditions,and proposes the construction of China's carbon capture and storage legal regulation.
