In the pursuit of its mission, the Knowledge Centre has encountered the multiple legal components inherent in CCS projects across diverse industries and global jurisdictions. CCS projects will be key to achieving net zero, but come with a number of technical and regulatory challenges to advance initiatives effectively.

Together, MLT Aikins and the Knowledge Centre continue to pioneer innovative solutions in carbon capture and storage. We possess extensive knowledge in this space and are Canadian law firm leaders in CCS projects.

A defining moment in the global energy transition
