13.05 - CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)
Launch of the International CCS Regulators’ Network As a result of government and industry initiatives, CCS regulations are under development in a number of countries. To help inform the development of legal and regulatory frameworks for CCS, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the IEA GHG Implementing Agremeent are working with the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) and University College London (UCL) to create a Network of CCS Regulators. The Network will meet regularly to provide updates and exchange views on specific legal issues associated with the expansion of CCS worldwide. This meeting is the Launch of the CCS Regulators Network--the first meeting to date.
Who Should Attend
The target audience for the Network are CCS regulators and policy makers at the
local, state/provincial, national and international levels. In particular, the IEA seeks
government regulators and policy makers with specific responsibility for:
- environmental impact assessment /groundwater monitoring
- pipeline siting and approval
- managing property rights
- monitoring and verification of greenhouse gas emissions, and
- other relevant areas of expertise.
Industry, non-government and other stakeholders are also welcome to participate
in this meeting. However, space is limited at this event; attendance is not
