Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage Centre produces 'Are You Ready' test toolkit
A new 'Are You Ready' test toolkit has been produced by the Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage Centre to help governments implement carbon capture and storage (CCS) project applications.
It will make it easy for nations and regions to test their legislation, regulatory and public engagement systems in advance of receiving applications for CCS projects.
The test toolkit, produced on behalf of the Scottish Government, provides a low-cost, low-risk approach to a regulatory test exercise.
The Global CCS Institute has supported the toolkit with £50,000 funding.
Energy Minister Jim Mather said: "The Scottish Government used a mock CCS project to test our own regulations and identify any streamlining opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. It is therefore appropriate that we have taken the lead in sharing this experience with other nations and regions."
"This blueprint will now be rolled out across the globe to equip governments, regulators and developers with the knowledge they need to be confident that CCS applications are processed efficiently and in accordance with the relevant planning and environmental obligations."
