Description

Structuring and financing carbon capture development is complex. Attorneys, investors, and developers must have a firm grasp of the legal framework and regulation of carbon capture, available financing options, and pitfalls to avoid.

A variety of funding sources exist for municipalities and corporations interested in securing financing for carbon capture projects. However, securing the necessary capital remains a difficult endeavor.

To meet the demands and strides toward clean energy, new products continue to emerge and existing products are evolving to meet the significant growth, putting even more pressure on the demand for capital.
