Craik et al. (2022): The Legal Framework for Carbon Dioxide Removal in Canada

Neil Craik, Anna-Maria Hubert, Chelsea Daku IN: Alberta Law Review, Vol 59, No 4, 38 pp.

This article provides an overview of Canada’s existing legal framework that will apply to various CDR methods as they are developed. It examines the legal framework as it may apply to CDR measures collectively (particularly in consideration of how these technologies will be treated in Canada’s broader climate framework), and individually. It aims to take stock of existing federal and provincial rules and assess the potential gaps that will need to begin to be addressed as Canada develops CDR capacities.
