As part of the research project “Sustainable Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage: Liability and Governance in Light of International and EU Law”, we were pleased to host Lena Gipperth and Thomas Muinzer for a seminar addressing regenerative legal frameworks and carbon capture in the context of the net zero transition.
The seminar featured Professor Gipperth presenting on regenerative legal frameworks that enhance biodiversity and climate resilience, followed by Dr. Muinzer’s presentation on CCS and sustainability in the context of the net zero transition, exploring law, policy, and standardization perspectives across multiple jurisdictions.
