Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage and Hydrogen
As more governments and companies seek to reduce their carbon footprints, the interest in clean energy technologies – such as Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) and hydrogen – continues to grow. Our cutting edge climate change and energy transition team is dedicated to helping its clients meet their decarbonization goals and is intimately aware of the important role that CCUS and hydrogen play in these efforts. Our cross-disciplinary team advises a diverse client base on all aspects of CCUS and hydrogen over the entire lifecycle of a project, including advising on regulatory and liability frameworks, providing comprehensive assessments of tax and finance considerations, drafting and negotiating agreements, identifying carbon market issues and opportunities, navigating environmental review and permitting, and spearheading legislative and policy initiatives to facilitate these projects.
