Need Of Energy Vis-A-Vis Carbon Sinks: A Study




Anuja Tripathy, KIIT School of Law, KIIT University


ABSTRACT


The ultimate goal of this research is the energy transition in the light of energy law is the subject matter of this article. It is very well-acknowledged that the legislation has a critical role in regulating the sector of energy which has significant consequences for the low-carbon transition. Inspite of this, due to its specific methodological traits and internal vocabulary, not only the law is sometimes trapped within its silo but also inaccessible to non-lawyers. The purpose of this article is to start a comparative study between energy law and other related topics in this aspect. It begins by explaining how this should be regarded under the purview of legal discipline, as well as what this means for this law as a governance system. It then delves into the intersection of energy law and its related fields where energy transition research is conducted. The quoted article classifies and assesses the role of energy transition in the energy law, culminating with a summary of the role of this law's implications for the energy transition and for energy research. Carbon is the basis for all life on Earth, in part because carbon molecules store the majority of the world's energy. In natural systems, plants and algae, especially phytoplankton, are the principal carbon storage agents. The most common method humans release is carbon into the air by plants burning, especially fossil plants that have transformed over time to oil, coal and natural gas (in the form of carbon dioxide i.e; CO2). Balancing the strike is a must step between carbon released and carbon stored for the planet’s health. Humans are currently releasing carbon faster than it can be stored, causing changes in the oceans and Earth's atmosphere.
