Carbon Sequestration

Overview

With interest – and investment – from government entities, venture capital groups, industry leaders, and academic institutions, carbon sequestration is poised for significant growth. Strategies for this process, also known as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), are as varied as the funding sources supporting them. As this segment of the energy market evolves and state and federal regulators adjust their frameworks, Adams & Reese closely monitors these changes to guide clients forward.

Adams & Reese guides clients as they navigate new developments in carbon sequestration, providing counsel on current laws, anticipated industry shifts, and purposeful next steps. At the same time, we manage day-to-day business needs, applying established legal principles to this emerging sector.
