CCS Reg

CCS Reg is a project headed by Carnegie Mellon University's Engineering and Public Policy Department with participation from "experts from the University of Minnestota, Vermont Law School and Van Ness Feldman law firm". The aim of the project is "to design and facilitate the rapid adoption of a U.S. regulatory environment for the capture, transport and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2)."

Funding
The project is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. In 2008 the foundation stated that it had allocated $1,850,000 over 2.5 years "to enable a team of investigators at Carnegie Mellon, University of Minnesota, Vermont Law School and other institutions to work with a wide range of stakeholders and experts to design a regulatory structure for the capture, transport and deep geological sequestration of carbon dioxide in the United States."
