Professor Nigel Bankes


Thursday, April 3, 2014
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

University of Houston Law Center
Room 209 BLB (2nd Floor)

1 Hour CLE Credit (no ethics)
The Environment, Energy & Natural Resource Center is proud to welcome Professor Nigel Bankes, the Chair of Natural Resource Law at Calgary and its Graduate Program Director, to speak on the legal and regulatory treatment of carbon capture and storage projects in Alberta, Canada.  Professor Bankes will examine the property, regulatory, liability, and greenhouse gas accounting issues in relation to CCS projects in Alberta, and his presentation will cover both pure disposal projects (i.e. saline aquifer projects) as well as enhanced oil recovery projects.  Given the shale energy revolution in the United States and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's pending regulations to require carbon capture and storage at coal-fired power plants, Canada's experiences and insights offer a timely and welcome perspective.
Nigel Bankes is a Professor of Law at the University of Calgary where he has taught since 1984 and where he now holds the chair in natural resources law. He also holds an adjunct appointment at the University of Tromsø, Norway where he teaches comparative energy law. His principal research interests are in the areas of indigenous peoples law, water law, oil and gas and energy law, and international environmental law. In recent years he has written extensively on the legal and regulatory issues associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS). He served as a member of the steering committee for the Province of Alberta's Regulatory Framework Assessment for CCS activities.
