There are vast misconceptions surrounding the risk of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration, which has been an impediment to projects in the space. Marsh and Hunton Andrews Kurth have done significant work to demystify CCUS risk. Contrary to prior sentiment, insurance is generally available and the costs can be minimized. When risk management and insurance is managed strategically, it can be used to protect tax credits and support project enablement.
