The Carbon Capture and Storage Legal and Regulatory Review (CCS Review) is a regular review of CCS regulatory frameworks worldwide. It collates contributions from national and regional governments, as well as leading organisations engaged in CCS regulatory activities, to provide a knowledge-sharing forum to support CCS framework development.

Each two page contribution provides a short summary of recent and anticipated CCS regulatory developments and highlights a particular, pre-nominated regulatory theme. To introduce each edition, the IEA provides a brief analysis of key advances and trends, based on the contributions submitted.

The themes for each edition of the review have been:

• Stakeholder engagement in development of CO₂ storage projects (3^rd Edition, July 2012)
• Long-term liability for stored CO₂ (2^nd Edition, May 2011)
